    maybe, who knows, I just that dont find that to be line with typical Jamaican behaviour... they tend to be quite self centred on these kinda things and wont go out their way to ask

    We need to get to the bottom of this. Did Dillian know the numbers or not?

    If I'm not mistaken Dillian is self-managed. I'm sure he makes it his business to know any numbers that might be relevant to his own career.

    Yeah he is self-managed

    And those number aren't relevant to his career at all, because Usyk is a while behind him in the division.

    Look what Usyk has done in the past 2 years...

    Rightly or wrongly, Usyk is ranked in the top ten at heavyweight with the WBO, IBF, WBC, and WBA. So on paper at least he is a top heavyweight. I'm sure Dillian is paying attention as he should be.

    lol remind me why this conversation is relevant..? Are we giving Usyk airtime here... is that what it is?

    I don't know why we have to talk about Usyk... let him do his thing.... Whyte is doing his thing...

    Usyk needs a live body on his record before he does anything else... and Witherspoon doesn't count.

    This will be a great indication of exactly where Whyte is Joshua beat povetkin in 5 wilder and fury would probably do the same if dillian struggles or grinds out a messy points win then I can't see him ever gatecrashing the the big three!

    Guys who are mandatory don't usually fight guys who are mandatory with other organisations.

    Dillian Whyteleafe:
    Taking on a beyond shot to pieces old midget on PPV BABEH. Press the red button or you ain’t a fan.

    Old Alec povetkin was shot when big Josh took him apart and that was what three years ago?

    Whyteleafe is taking tips from his fellow glass jawed matchroom stablemate and feasting on shot/old/midgets on PPV.

    It is what is is.

    Meh. One over the hill fella who was never really elite, against an overrated fighter who lives off wobbling Joshua.

    The battle of two dopers. Fair to say Sky won't be getting any PPV money from me for this one.

    The only good thing about this is the fact that one of the floaters of the heavyweight division will finally be flushed after this one; the loser will surely have nowhere to go other than retirement.

    The loser fights Chisora on a ppv undercard I imagine.

    Povetkin maybe, but there would be absolutely zero interest in Whyte v Chisora 3, assuming Chisora is coming off a loss to Usyk.

    No chance. Chisora is going to Knock out Usyk and I honesty believe Whyte is going to put Povetkin into retirement.

    Fury
    Joshua
    Chisora
    Whyte
    Dubois

    We running the Heavyweight division.

    Haven't read the whole thread but are you suggesting Whyte didn't fight Usyk because of PPV numbers? I doubt it somehow.

    I am suggesting it was one of the reasons and factors that formed part of Whyte's justification on why he was not interested in offering Usyk a fight.

    Whyte didn't feel Usyk had enough PPV pulling power to motivate Whyte for a fight... and I believe he felt that way because he didnt know about the ppv numbers for usyk bellew
