Should Dillian Whyte leave Matchroom?

Matchroom made him a millionaire. He lost against Joshua in 2015, he wasn't in great condition and not many were tipping him for great things. Who'd have guessed he would go on to make millions by the time he was 30.

No promoter on god's green earth could have made Wilder defend his WBC belt against Whyte, and the WBO mandatory hasn't been called yet.

Whyte is entering his prime and could hardly be in a better position. I'd be amazed if he's even considering signing for someone else.

 

This.

 

Ridiculous thread - Matchroom have done a wonderful job with Whyte, who has made a fortune in his PPV fights.

Who knows what’s going on behind the scenes, but he will get his shot eventually. There’s nothing much Eddie can do with the WBC/ Wilder thing & AJ is in a awkward position at the moment with which direction to go in.

 

The WBC ****ed Dillian over not Matchroom.

 

Do we know the details of the actual offer? From what I've seen Whyte has suggested the offer on the table now is less than he earned against Chisora, which are obviously two slightly different things when you consider a PPV percentage will surely make an enormous difference given a Joshua fight would likely do a million more buys.

In addition, what are Whyte's other options? Warren on BT won't pay him any more, will get him less exposure as well. And if he wants a title he still has to end up fighting Joshua or Wilder, and the latter doesn't seem interested.

 

I think Eddie's just waiting on enough time to pass before announcing AJ Vs Whyte, just so people "understand how hard they've tried to make the Wilder fight first"

 

No, absolutely not, it would be beyond stupid to leave Matchroom at this moment in time.

Whyte has had great backing from Matchroom (and let's not forget Sky Sports), its actually incredible backing considering where he came from.

Depending on how far you want to go back, let's remember Whyte was banned for two years for PEDs in the past, he fought AJ as an "opponent" and lost, Hearn didn't have to give Whyte a helping hand up but he did.

Hearn rebuilt Whyte, rebuilt his reputation, has made and still is making Whyte in to a draw, Hearn has made Whyte a multi millionaire and Whytes next fight should be (it really should be) for a world title.

Let's not forget Whyte has had some controversy here and there, his image wasn't that great a while ago, but slowly and surely it's been rebuilt and improved and he is now headlining PPV cards.

Hearn and Matchroom have done an exceptional job. So right at the point of Whyte getting a world title shot he should walk away? For what and who exactly?

Where would Whyte go? Warren? Haymon? GBP? I don't see any of those doing a better job for Whyte do you?

 

Yeah not a fan of Hearn, but he's done a great job with Whyte. He'd be nowhere without him tbh and he'd be mad to leave matchroom.

 

Err Pudding becomes PPV Multi Millionaire on back of uneducated PPV mugths - why leave when this thick cohort of PPV mugths will fork out time and again?

 

He'll still be the number 2 even at BT, Fury is their new Golden goose

 

Yeah lets leave the biggest platform that has made you a ppv fighter...

 

Matchroom have been excellent for him

 

mathroom have been excellent for Whyte the guy is on £million fights. Its WBC who screwed him not matchroom. WBC are a joke and they should be responsible for this mess. He should be fighting Wilder end of story NOT breazeale who is a nobody.

 

He’s earnt millions and been promoted really well. Most fighters with Whytes talent would not have earnt him millions with any other promoter with the right fights. See price
