Dillian Whyte on the True going's on inside Matchroom

Ortiz said yes...and the opponent suddenly became Joseph Parker.

Ortiz said yes...and the opponent suddenly became Chisora. Whyte's Twitter was bombarded with boxing fans telling him to fight Ortiz and sports writers were creating polls where Ortiz was beating Chisora as the preferred opponent easily.

 

Answer - So there was no silence and it was twitter warriors, makes sense

Sorry but I just can't see how someone is being silent and ducking by them going on camera, explaining he's always wanted the fight and then explains the financial obstructions why the fight can't be made.

It's not like the money that was offered was acceptable amount ala AJ/Wilder 40% now.. Now there's one hell of a duck!

 

if its not dillian/fury/wilder at this currently moment, then no one is going ot be happy. the fans want wilder, but he wants to rematch fury as its the 'easier' payday for him and the WBC have ordered that now. i think everyone with a clear mind can see the Joshua makes them all the most money.
if whyte rejects a good offer then more fool him as he wont make it anywhere else.
the same with fury and wilder (after the rematch)

 

Im saying we do not know the offer and that it may be a guarantee of £4m plus upside. Which means it could be a minimum of £4m plus more if it hits over a certain PPV figure. If thats the case its a great offer. The big issue is we do not know the offer and we do not know Whyte's previous purses for fighting non title fights. Hearn has undoubtedly promoted Whyte very well and given him a great platform.

Its hard to criticise Hearn for lowballing when Whyte has publically declared he is a free agent and not contracted to Hearn which means Joshua in fairness is currently his only client. We cant say Hearn isnt loyal without saying the same about Whyte. But Whyte is playing the game very well by hardballing the negotiations to get a better deal.

 

One has nothing to do with the other. I'd say you have an unhealthy attitude in general.

 

Interesting guess work there on the calculations.... then why was it that Povetkin had 6 millions and joshua 20 million out of the 26 million revenue in their bout????????

And Whyte get's 4 million, less than what he got for Chisora???

Why does Pov get more than Whyte and you stand there like a man trying to assert that Whyte isn't getting lowballed? Who do you take me for?

 

Right so when a negotiation can't be made because one of the parties sees little value.... HE'S A DUCKER!!!! BURN HIM.

It didn't make sense for Whyte at the time. Same story with Pulev.

Stop chatting **** nobody here believes you.

 

Breazeale wanted it over there, for ridiculous split... he priced himself out. Breazeale is a nobody... he carrier no marketing weight.

Whyte is a somebody, he is a draw in of himself... he can dictate the purse.

Stop chatting BS

 

Right and these clown UK fans act like “he’s done enough to deserve it” and should be a mandatory. Ortiz also could’ve put him in line for Wilder with the WBC.

 

I don't deny that Hearn has done well by Whyte in terms of making him money. Parker and Chisora should never have been PPVs but somehow turned out very successful - just goes to show how dumb the Pay-Per-Pudding market is.

But that makes it even more astonishing that Hearn is lowballing Whyte. Whyte has made a lot of money for Hearn and Matchroom. Yet they are palming him off with flat fee offers when they know that this has enormous casual appeal because all Whyte and Joshua need to do is reignite their previous "beef".

For what it's worth I believe Whyte entirely when he makes public comments about how poor the offer is. That's one thing I like about the guy, he tends to tell it straight and publicly exposed Hearn's tomfoolery. Watch the first IFL interview after Whyte's Talksport interview about the April offer. Hearn was squirming and said "no comment". Whyte pulled his pants down.

 

Yeah and what have Ortiz or Breazeale done? Better than Whyte?

Ortiz already had his chance anyway, so why is it even up for debate. He got his ass knocked the **** out. And it would happen again.

Whyte IS the more deserving one, and who knows.... breazeale might lose to Whyte next. And we can end this mandatory ***** once and for all.

We'll come to USA and take your mandatory's, your belts and your pride.

 

Hearn has already stated Whytes offer is more than Povetkin's so not sure where you got Povetkin getting £6m from and where the £26m revenue came from?

 

I'm not aiming this at Whyte , but almost all of the current heavyweights including AJ. It seems to be all about the money these days. AJ could take less etc and I think Hearn is making a mistake by pricing out opponents. That said , Whyte is being offered 4 million quid at least to fight for 4 world titles, to be the man at heavyweight. He wins that fight , he gets to dictate, he gets the lions share, He gets promoters begging to be on his team. Surely that is incentive enough ? If he believes he can beat Joshua, whether its a lowball offer or not, why doesn't he take that belief, go win the fight and move on to the next level ?

 

That's what was revealed about about the purse splits for AJ vs Pov.

And it's been stated by Whyte that he was offered less than Chisora... and Whyte was pretty vocal about how low it was.... like way way too low.

so you are looking at about 25-30 million in revenue for Parker, Pov v Joshua fights.

And Whyte, realistically, is a lot more marketable than Pov or Parker. This is backed by facts and figures.

So we shouldn't be anywhere NEAR Chisora purse money.

But I am done discussing purses, splits and revenues its boring, and draining and I'm not that into it. Whyte deserves a more reasonable sum to fight AJ, that is all.
