What's more important to him....his purse split or being a world champion! Let's face it..he won't win...he's just trying to cash out...if the title was the motivating factor you'd take 5% ffs
Operative word being “if” the title was ... Money matters too, do you take 80% pay cuts at work? Didnt think so.
Liar Liar pants on fire Whyte 247.25 Pounds or 112.38 KG https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/0...-25-vs-dillian-whyte-247-25-weigh-in-results/ And thats Whyte at his usual lightest/lean condition. His best weight. Wilder at 108 kg was career heaviest. He had to bulk hard for that. His is usually 215 range. Which is skinny for 6 foot 7. Lightest in the division given height.
This isn't going into work to put on some tyres ..he's in a job where he has the luxury of obscene wages....snd to be blunt dillian whyte has made far more money than he should've in this game...but now he's on the cusp.....To fight for a world title against Tyson fury..which if he wins would make him absolutely ****in Megabucks after...I'd fight him for free
Whyte has that one win over Joseph Parker but other than that he's mostly faced cans and not looked too impressive in doing so. 80-20 is okay here given the total purse involved.
If this fight actually happens I've got a funny feeling the fight will go the same way as the pressers... Whyte's witless mouth and footwork are simply not upto the job in either said task. He's got a small brain and a big mouth, and a big body size with small feet. He struggles badly with a 'imbalance' then in both aspects.
No man you wouldn’t fight him for free, and it was was so easy to make money in this game why isn’t every boxer doing it? because its a gruelling sport that takes serious amounts of blood sweat and tears to rise up the ranking risking your life each time to make it to the big leagues. Whytes journey was riskier than most people given his lack of experience in the ring, once you get to AJ and Povetkin and Parker levels of competition your life is in serious danger as they have hundreds of bouts in experience. Whyte wasnt given the physical advantages someone like Fury has with excessive height and reach to hide behind. changing tyres on car is low risk. If any job doesnt require a pay cut its boxing, these guys have no medical insurance what they make they will rely on after boxing. Besides, footballers make way more than these guys just to kick a ball around the pitch. Wheres the risk there? Most boxers dont make much money because you need to fight your way to the top against all the other hungry killers that want to eliminate you. Whyte Got to the top the hard way. Fury was gifted a way to the top. BIG DIFFERENCE. The guy took on the lowest quality opposition to fight for WBC title.
I absolutely guarantee you..I would...how much will 20% of his purse be Vs fury...few million....and whytes been on ppv for ****in years now...without being a ppv quality fighter...he's absolutely wedged..n given the amount of failed tests he's had ..he's lucky he's in a position to challenge for the title.. especially after getting starched by povetkins ghost. Be a man..take the 20% ( which will probably only be a measly £5 million...**** me..life sucks doesn't it) and dethrone the champ. Boxings a dangerous game and they earn their money... but he wants a bigger split cos he knows he won't beat fury and will never get the paydays that come with being heavyweight champion of the world..he's just not good enough
To put things in perspective, Ortiz just walked away from 75% to fight Hrgovic in a final eliminator, likely because the money wouldn't be enough. So 20%...
Number of failed tests? He failed for a preworkout once And got cleared the second time they found miniscule trace amounts of Dianabol metabolites in one sample of dozens. Relax it aint that bad, Fury has been caught in the past and it wasnt for preworkout that everybody in the gym takes ... wheres your condemnation there? Biased man. Again, mentioning arbitrary figures like 5 million and 10 million means NOTHING AT ALL. Without context. 100 per cent is in the pot, and Fury wants 80. Thats unfair because Whyte is not a basic challenger or the next available guy, he is mando... number 1 ranked for three years and Interim Belt holder. He has also demonstrated greater Commercial value than Fury in all non title fights. The percentage is the only thing that should be discussed... percentage of the money available... Not take 5 million and be happy... Guarantee you wouldnt take 20,000 grand for selling your house and “being happy” you would sell it for market value or 90% of market value. Not 20K because its a nice chunk of money for the average guy. Well in whytes business Fury never earned a shot and went on to make 10s millions after being gifted a shot from thin air... while Whyte worked For his shot for three years. So then why is it ok for Fury to take 80 per cent when he was GIFTED his title shot. He didnt fighr ONE WBC SANCTIONED FIGHT before wilder. He is EXTREMELY LUCKY to have fought Wilder.
