    I remember what it was like and we went from Moore v Macklin and Gomez v Arthur type fights to the absolute garbage served up by Matchroom where any non 90/10 fight was increasingly stuck on Box Office. Terence Harper headlining cards says it all.

    The only Heavyweight fight I want to see now is Fury v Usyk to crown the first undisputed World Heavyweight Champion since the introduction of four belts.

    Don't care about Fury bashing puddings although at least Ruiz will provide a slightly better test than Pudding Whyte.

    As much as i slate Whyte I would much prefer to see that fight than Helenius! Ruiz is about the same level as Whyte so either of those is ok but ultimately I wanna see him in with AJ or Usyk

    I just think he's getting to that point now where he seems more and more like he can't be bothered with this, I think if he can fight Usyk within 18 months he'll be done. You could be right and he's around in 5 years time but I just have this feeling that he's got one last big fight in him and he won't bother with Joshua.

    It’ll be Helenius then for sure. Fighting Whyte’s leftovers I see…

    He is a chancer. Arum said they upped offer to 25% with a guarantee. Whyte got 300k for his last fight. Fury gets £20m or so and no one knows of Whyte in Anerica. Same v AJ, Whyte pricing himself out.

    Whyte can have fight with Fury but he is kicking the can down the road by still proceeding with arbitration and asking for around 3-4 times his biggest payday.

    If anyone thinks Fury is worried about Whyte, I suggest they give their head a wobble.

    A very fat man or a no talent fighter? When is fury going the fight someone who is not old or wildly overrated?

    Ruiz is going to want close to what Whyte is demanding and will he accept a non title fight? Sounds like to me his name is being used before announcing Kabayel/Helenius. I prefer Helenius out of those two btw.

    Is it not 10 million dollars. What is that around 6 or 7 million. Think around a 70/30 split is fair....or whats the point really. Whytes been going down the wbc route for years. Beat helenius, beat povetkin, beat chisora, beat parker. Beat rivas. Its a half decent list worthy of being a wbc challenger.

    Whytes a proven big enough name in britain. Whats the point really of fighting your way to challenger position to get 10 or 20 percent. 30 percents about fair

    I think whyte probably has an argument for more than 30 percent...based off fury not actually being as big a draw as advertised....but i dont know the figures.

    I dont understand how the wbc arent deciding the split after hearing from both sides. Then fury and whyte can choose to take it or leave it. Fury dropping the belt if he leaves it. Simple as that. But i dont know the ins or outs of it tbh.

    Everyday the belts seem to become more and more worthless.

    I don't see a boxing match happening but there very well could be some form of litigation between them.

    Fury conning you all again. He has you all arguing the split and whether or not Whyte should get the fight. Instead of calling Fury a duck for trying to get out of the fight. He is an absolute fraud. AJ makes a lot more per fight than Fury and he and Hearn have paid more to guys that weren't even interim champions haha. But somehow Fury and Arum can't even try to negotiate with Whyte? Even when the Whyte vs Fury fight would do well in the UK? No man, it's a duck move. Plain and simple. And now they are acting like they can just fight someone else and ignore the WBC? It will be interesting to see what the WBC does about this all. Oh and by the way, what makes you idiots think tha the winner of the Usyk AJ fight will want to fight Fury with no WBC belt? Especially when he will be asking for 50/50. Fury is screwed and he knows it yet he's STILL trying to wiggle out of it and fight another bum. Incredible
