Fury/Whyte Split confirmed

I don't care who is to blame. I want to see good fights. And I don't want to see Fury try to take the easiest route again. He wants to skip Whyte and fight Charr. That's crap. The 20% thing is a roadblock. They knew it when they first put it out there.

 

Good. So stop commenting...

 

Fury turned AJ down when AJ had 4 belts and Fury had NONE. But I'm guessing you forgot that too...

 

To be fair he did fight Wilder who had the WBC belt quite soon after the long lay off.

The issue here is the greed of Whyte

 

Because AJ brought the cash to the table. It's not difficult. Zero chance in hell Whyte would earn equivalent money against anyone else.

We all need to remember professional boxing is a circus more than a sport; whilst there may be "governing bodies" they're effectively closed shops with their own rules and you pay to be in them. If those bodies agreed to AJ taking a higher share as the challenger, and Whyte got more than the first fight, so be it.

 

So? That's hardly fair of you're now the main belt holder in the division.

 

Not true, they went back to the table and offered 50/50

Whyte wanted more

 

U OK HUN? X

 

Exactly.
There's even a video of Hearn and Whyte discussing it.

Whyte's final excuse, if I remember rightly, is by that time, he only had 11 weeks to get ready. ELEVEN WHOLE WEEKS ... only.

The whole discussion is worth a watch. This was almost 3 years ago now.

 

If the % was set at 45% before this fight. And the WBC changed it to spite Whyte. Then how is Whyte greedy? Also, Fury fought Wilder because he actually believed he could beat Wilder. He did not and still does not believe he can beat AJ. That's why he wanted life changing money to fight AJ. Which would in turn make Fury greedy too right? My issue has always been Fury skipping over all the best contenders his entire career and he's trying to do it again now. I could not care less who gets what %. Just make the fight. Fury and Arum have instead tried to make fights with other fighters.

 

I've always been uber skeptical of his long camps. He doesn't improve his skill during these times and always has his head shaved. He's blatantly cycling.

 

Of course they will look for other potential opponents because there's a big chance Whyte will never agree to terms. There's also a big chance Whyte is willing and prepared to continue to remain inactive for months and months.
You can't even begin to comprehend any of this though, due to your comical hatreds.

 

Yes, but it is the % that is holding up the fight.
Whyte doesn't want 20%, doesn't want 25%, probably doesn't even want 30% (which was probably well within his reach if he engaged with Arum's offers a few weeks back).
Just like he didn't want 6 or 7 MILLION to fight AJ three years ago.
He wants more.

But, hey, that's Fury's fault, right?

 

This.

The idea that Whyte could start dictating terms in a rematch with the belt or not vs AJ was absurd.

It was a voluntary defence where you were luckily given a shot by the money man of the division where in two fights Whyte could have set himself up and his family up for life.

To turn that down over hypothetically not earing 50/50 in a rematch made no sense at all.

Ruiz did not earn more than AJ in the rematch in Saudi but it didn't matter. Ruiz still earned an absolute fortune and rightfully AJ took home more as he was the reason the Saudis put up so much money.

Andy Ruiz is not sitting at home cursing himself for not making sure he got a 50/50 split in a rematch.

That fight vs AJ and a possible rematch would have been the highest purses Whyte would ever make in his career and money wasn't the reason Whyte declined.

 

What is comical is how you have turned Arum and Fury into the ones who want the fight. Even though it is their side looking at other options hahahh. How stupid are you? Whyte and Hearn never said one word about fighting anyone else. When Fury drops the belt will admit you are wrong? And also admit he is a ducking coward?
