    This prat has asked for MORE money to participate in the promotion!

    Is this for real?

    He’s a local London level fighter as it is.

    Whyte is such an unlikable dude would love to see Fury beat the living crap out of him.

    He’s guaranteed a purse for fighting. I’m not his biggest fan but why would he do anything more?

    In your office you get paid for doing x, y and z, why would you do more and increase the money for the fella who sits over the other side whilst you see zero of it yourself?

    Part of the contract said he must help promote the fight. That turns into being subjective I guess, but we know the score and he’s simply holding out for even more money!

    I don’t think that’s true at all. A purse bid is a purse bid, that is a fighters guaranteed pay for fighting. Any upside / extras would be negotiated on the side separately - which we know is not the case here.

    Whyte helping to promote this fight only lines the pockets of Fury, Arum and Warren. He’s not soft.

    To promote a fight is part of the job.

    The man is a freaking clown, give him whatever it takes to get him in the ring, and give the fans what he deserves, a jolly good ****ing hiding and then let him **** off.

    He is clearly trying to **** Fury around as much as possible so the fight falls through.

    He doesn’t want the Fury fight. Perhaps there is another 40 year old available for him to fight instead.

    The more promotion - the more buys. More buys are better for Whyte’s profile and future opportunities.

    I don’t really see the problem. If you want someone to put their back into promoting a fight then give them a % of the PPV, or extra pay. Unless Whyte is breaking any agreement that he’s made old Bob will have to suck it up.

    Whytes getting screwed over % wise and his lowball split went against WBC own rules. WBC have done Whyte the dirty numerous of timea regarding his mandatory and have done everything possible for Whyte not to fight for the title.

    Understandable that Whyte just wants to show and do the business in the ring rather do the promotional stuff making WBC, Top Rank and Fury richer.

    Fair play to Whyte.
