    He is getting 18% of the purse (28% if he wins). Rightly or wrongly I don't see him doing any promoting in all honesty bar the mandatory stuff.

    Exactly!!!

    Frank said lawyers are talking, I believe White's is pushing to have the arbitration mentioned in there as a condition that could change the financial split.

    IMO, the split will change to 30-35%. Even Top Rank was already offering 25% before the WBC fixed it backwards.
    Arum aknowledged in his last interview White is asking for 30%, only fair Id say.

    Dont worry, fight will happen.

    Whyte and Matchroom don't want it especially if it is no on their terms. Whyte can tell everyone he is a free agent but he is not he works for Eddie. I think they fancied their chances when Wilder was champion but they know he can't beat Fury. I think they were hoping that Fury was gonna vacate and they could pick up the vacant title.

    Don't you mean Povetkin 1 ;)

    Only read p1. I want to echo what some posted. Enough about 'poor' no opportunity Dillian :llorona:

    What other skills does this clown have? Yeah, he's entertaining on shows like The Gloves Are Off. I don't keep up with the $ angles like some accountant, but isn't he guaranteed at least $5M and chance to win a title?? HW division has become an arena for MBA acting 'fighters' :shakehead:

    Whyte doesn’t want title shots and doesn’t want to test himself against the best.

    He already turned down an IBF shot vs Pulev and a shot at AJ when Ruiz Jr took it.

    Whyte fights for maximum reward for minimal risk. He has made multi millions from the sport and what is his best win?

    Whyte will duck Fury and marinade himself for his big cash out career ending fight vs AJ.

    Official reasons why the Whyte - Fury fight doesn’t happen:

    Legal disputes with WBC
    Financial conditions of fight aren’t fair
    Another shoulder injury

    Whyte has an incredibly high opinion of himself considering he's been put on his arse multiple times by feather fists and outboxed and knocked out by near shot fighters like Povetkin and Chisora.. he's a decent HW but grossly overpaid (like all of them are in fact) for what he actually is.. I don't get what the problem is here, a career-high legacy building opponent & payday.. & if you win you will be looking at 15/20 million per fight afterwards too..

    No point until the contract is signed and guarantee in place. They clearly don’t trust Fury and his team not to pull some ****.

    Whyte has the contract though, so unless he's not intending to sign it - I don't see where the lack of guarentee is.

    His lawyers will be well advised to check it thoroughly especially when you have no trust or confidence in the other side. They seemed unsettled that he has kept quiet. Well you know he does not have to follow anyone’s script.

    The better question is "When is Dillian Whyte"?

    Tyson Fury: If Whyte is playing mind games he picked the wrong guy.

    Someone needs to put Whyte on a missing person list.
