Are Wilder and AJ lowballing Ruiz and Whyte or are the later being greedy

    Pretty sure Whyte has accepted 3million, there's just some finer details that need ironing.

    The 'finer details' sound like they are all written in AJ's favour and naturally Whyte is not happy with them.

    It all depends on the fight selling. Whyte sucks and I just don't see how that fight sells. He is just a loud mouth that fails when he steps up.

    Think he has but sounded like at first he knocked it back. Personally I'd much rather see someone like Otto Wallin in there. Fresh opponent who I could actually see beating Joshua.

    In excess of 90,000 turned up to see Whyte fight Fury.

    Whyte is ordinary but ordinary is exactly what AJ needs right now and Whyte is a name who is ordinary. So he ticks both boxes.

    This crap is not selling out 90k. The O2 probably. You are just looking at this as the right opponent for AJ. Which he is. A n easy to hit chinny fighter. Hell Franklin was suppose to be that KO he’s been needing and that didnt pan out.

    I’m looking at it from a boxing fans perspective and this match is crap. I just do not see fight fans paying for it, well not to the amount AJ use to command. He has already beaten Whyte and this version is worst.

    I'm not defending it. Just explaining it.

    AJ will not fight anyone with a pulse if the Wilder fight is on for December and even if the Wilder fight doesn't go ahead they are looking to chose a victim next, not an opponent.

    We all know why the fight is made. No explanation needed. The topic is the lowballing. What is offered is based on what the fight will sell. That was my post that you responded too.

    I won't be buying it but I think enough people will that there will be enough money there to keep Whyte happy. I don't know the true amounts being thrown around and I doubt anyone else here does either but I suspect Whyte is probably being lowballed by Hearn.
