Dillain Whyte article from Steve Bunce about being stitched up.

Can't handle the heat so you run away like a girl.

I have been quad teamed on here so what...

And apparently I have 100 alt accounts... easy scapegoat now.

 

The WBC ordered Breazeale V Whyte for madatory status though...
Seems they backtracked when Wilder-Fury II fell through. Wilder Bodyguard Council.

 

Breazeale was still mandatory when the Fury fight fell through, so it's actually logical to then mandate the title fight. It would have been worse imo, if they had made Breazeale and Whyte fight each other and then Wilder to fight against someone else.

The WBC definitely deserve criticism for making Breazeale - Molina a fight for mandatory, but not for actually making the Wilder - Breazeale fight in the current circumstances. The only consistency to expect from them is to do the wrong thing though, so I wouldn't be surprised if the next title eliminator they announce is Kownacki - Arreola or some crap like that.

 

Excellent point about AJ already close to maxing out the market. There just isn't the room to grow to pay Whyte much more without AJ taking a pay cut.

Joshua does 1 mill or more each time he fights. His biggest PPV was vs Wlad which did 1.5 mill so even if Joshua/Whyte 2 is as big as that, you are only looking at about 500K more PPV which when you consider Whyte's been doing about 400K on his PPV's seems about right. So 500K at £19.95 with SKY taking 50%, your looking at £4.9 mill, so you can see where Hearn has gotten his figure for Whyte's purse.

If Whyte seriously thinks AJ is going to take a pay cut to fight him, he's fooling himself. Joshua doesn't need him as he's already beaten him.

 

Breazeale never should've received a shot before Whyte. At the very least, I think the WBC should've gone ahead with the Whyte-Breazeale eliminator. Whyte is rated #1 in the WBC, and deservedly so.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Wilder fought both Breazeale and Whyte this year. Wilder vs Whyte for the WBC title would probably sell out in the UK, too.

Side note: Putting Kownacki in an eliminator later this year isn't any crazier than putting Kubrat Pulev in an eliminator. I have no idea how Pulev warranted a #1 rating by the IBF. The only other org that rates him is the WBC, who has him at #9, which seems about right.

Whyte vs. Kownacki would be an excellent action fight.

Wilder vs. Whyte and Wilder vs Kownacki would be fun, too.

 

I'd be astonished. Wilder will hold his mandatory requirements satisfied and he won't go anywhere near Whyte unless he's forced to by the WBC.

I think Wilder's next step will either be another bout with Fury if they can agree terms with Arum, or it will be someone cherry picked from the US market.

 

Nope. Just can’t be arsed with the circular conversation. All the points have been made that needed to be made. You think Whyte was right to walk away. I think it was a bad move. Agree to differ. Call it what you want. It’s boring. Only time can judge.

 

Wilder fought Luis Ortiz and Tyson Fury, neither of whom was a mandatory. And both of them would likely be favored over Whyte.

Wilder fights the easiest fight to make at any given time.

Fury was an easy fight to make until Bob Arum got involved. Wilder's team and Fury's team agreed to two fights going in, and then Arum stepped in right when they were about to finalize the return bout and blocked it - claiming Fury needed more tuneups and Wilder needed to sign to fight for ESPN.

So, unless Arum dies, I don't think Wilder-Fury II will be next.

Plus, Whyte is rated above Fury by the WBC.

So I could see Wilder vs. Whyte in the UK on SKY PPV. That would be an event. And it would be fairly easy to make as long as he didn't have to sign any exclusive contracts with any other promoters.

I think Sky is preparing for Wilder-Whyte.

 

Wilder v Whyte had a better chance of happening whilst the plan was still for AJ v Wilder to take place in the UK. Now that fight looks like it will take place in the US it's less likely that Wilder will be risking the AJ fight in a non mandated battle with Whyte in the UK.
Remember Whyte is in his prime, not suffering from injury, high blood pressure or a 3 year coke addled layoff and he's rated in the top 5 of HW boxers. When's the last time that Wilder fought someone matching that description?

 

Fair enough, I can respect that opinion.

 

Trying to paint them as "lesser opponents" shows you don't know what you're talking about.

Wilder, Joshua, Ortiz, Fury and Whyte are the top five heavyweights according to RING right now. Wilder decked Fury and Ortiz a combined five times while successfully defending against both.

Let me know when Joshua gets around to defending his titles against any of them.

 

Do you have a link to where he didn't turn the fight down? World of boxing promoter himself said Whyte turned down the fight. Stop kidding yourself your hero is a ducker since being sparked by AJ

 

Yeah Whyte totally ducked a prime young Parker *rolls eyes*.

You are like a dog with rabies. All confused and frustrated and ****.

 

Dude is trying to fight Charr ****ing Charr I got no sympathy for him

 

This.. I’m also a fan of Whyte but he or whomever is advising him screwed up simple.. The IBF ordered the eliminator for Pulev vs Whyte and he turned it down to fight Browne.. He then fought Parker to move up in the WBO rankings but it was bad timing as the WBO has rules in place where if the WBO Champion move up to a higher class then they become the mandatory automatic making way for Austin.. The WBC twice ordered Ortiz vs Whyte for the second mandatory and he chose to fight Chisora.. It was originally expected that he was facing AJ next but he turned it down for financial reasons.. That’s not being froze out that’s taking bad advice..
