    Hearn said 80/20 split is outrageous and suggested the split should be around 55/45

    Thoughts?

    The fight is in the mire. May not happen. Long way from deciding a purse split. If it happened, somewhere in the region of 60.40 probably.

    75/25 or 70/30 sounds fair to me.

    Can't pay Whyte too little. He's gonna need to cover the hospital bills.

    I reckon 65-35 or 70-30. I don't think it will happen as WBC have a hardon for Whyte since the arbitration he started. How many times has Eddie said something is in the bag or close to completion only for it to turn to mist. We have been here many times before my friends don't hold your breath. Eddie makes Haye look like a truth sayer. well nearly.

    interim vs full champion is a 45/55 split, right?!
    Maybe they could go down to 40/60 or even 35/65, due to Fury's popularity atm.

    Hearn is operating upon the assumption that Whyte gets by Wallin over the course of two fights.

    It's always nice to have faith in your guy like that. :thumbsup:

    This is what I thought. Fury probably doesn't believe Whyte would deserve a 55/45 split, and 80/20 seems a little stiff, so my guess is it'll be something like 65/35.

    That said, with the WBC digging their heels in, Whyte vs Wallin will probably be rescheduled. So in that particular scenario, the very last thing Whyte needs to be doing is looking past Wallin.

    Don't think Wall-e has much of a chance on the cards in the UK, even if he outboxes Whyte. So, he kinda can look past him, I guess.

    Just means Wallin would have to knock Whyte out, and then repeat that particular trick in the rematch. ;)

    Whyte should get his 500k (sic) camp expenses plus another 500k tops. £1m.

    Maybe 30/70 for Whyte.

    Arum wants Fury to fight Whyte next. He knows that they will make a lot of money together in the UK

    The audience should get all the money for having to watch it.

    Wonder what the WBC are thinking. Whyte is fine as a challenger there are many worse and it would sell OK.
    No one really wants to see Fury Wallin 2
    Fury Ruiz would be fine...
