    Hearn might prefer that it go to purse bid so he has a chance to secure the fight for DAZN.

    I think this is ridicilous.
    Fury isn't worth that much more as Whyte. It's just clear that the WBC has a huge grudge against him.
    I hope he doesn't pull out for being underpaid.

    To be clear, I really don’t like Whyte. He's obviously a drug cheat, getting away with it last time, but his WBC titleshot is long overdue.
    And like many Brit heavyweights, usually grossly overpaid.
    This time however, he's probably going to end up underpaid.

    Er yes he really is......

    Outside of the boxing hardcores, most people are aware of who Tyson Fury is. Most of my mates know AJ and Fury, literally 1 or 2 of them have heard of Whyte.

    Whyte will be livid when Fury goes on about him getting knocked out by a 40year old 'small man'. Lol

    80/20 split means Fury will make 4x more than Whyte, but Fury made 15x more than Whyte in their last fights.

    Fury is one of the highest paid and most well known boxers in the entire world. Nobody knows who Whyte is outside of the UK. It was completely appropriate to modify the usual 70/30 split to 80/20 out of respect for Fury's much higher earning power.

    I genuinely do want this fight to happen, just to see the build up.

    It has the most potential for antics out of any other heavyweight match up. Shane Fury (tysons actual brother) vs big Dean Whye (dillians fake brother)....

    Come on!!!

    :roflmao:whyte will have to show thicker skin than he has done in the past, Fury's the best wind up and Whyte is easy to anger and not easily dominated. Fury will want him angry when they fight.

    You are obviously British, because here just across the channel, hardly anyone knows either. He's not some crossover household name. Joshua, despite being beaten twice now, still has more of a name as Fury. Not the Tyson name of course, because that's reserved for another heavyweight that fought recently, and is in another stratosphere

    Whyte should just agree to the deal, take the fight, get battered and then take his money and **** off once and for all.

    We can agree to disagree, but numbers suggest Fury is a bigger name in the US that AJ.

    AJ has had 1 fight there and got knocked out, he won't ever fight again in the US as it's not profitable for him and Hearn.

    I can see the steam coming out of Whyte's ears as Fury goes into pi$$ taking overdrive.

    Whyte's not the most eloquent or witty talker at the best of times so I can imagine with his anger and frustration his angry verbal come backs could be nonsensical and embarrassing, or even a total loss of words

    It's gonna be one tightly wound up Whyte climbing in that ring. Lol

    Gotta laugh at whyte throwing demands about constantly and him being put in place every time, yet he still thinks he's the man, for whatever delusional reason that may be.

    All he does is talk himself out of millions every time.
    He really is that thick, isnt he! Lol

    Does this mean Ruiz Jnr can postpone latest diet attempt?
