So Eddie has a billion dollars in pocket and bid pennies on his own fighter’s chance to win an eliminator to get a shot at his own fighter. Whyte has been proper frakked by Eddie.
The billion dollars for America frees him up to spend whatever he wants on UK fights. It’s money in the bank. It’s like if someone gives you enough money to make your car payment every month. It can only be used for the car payment. But that means you can now spend the money you would normally spend on your car payment on something else. Eddie could have bid enough to get the Whyte fight in the UK to give his guy the edge. Break even on that event or even if you lose a little money, you make it back on Whyte’s mandatory challenge of AJ down the road. Bottom line, he didn’t pony up to support his fighter even though he’s got a BILLION DOLLARS burning a hole in his pocket. Whyte must feel really good about this.
This is going to be carnage, Sofia is very racist, nazi symbols and celtic crosses everywhere, add in a big football hooligan following, sod being Whyte and his pals, they will need to be well protected.
I think I read it will be a stadium fight in Bulgaria. If Hearn outbid them then he pays over the odds. With a billion pounds in his pocket every fight after he then pays over the odds. Wilder looks at the deal and doubles his asking price. Hearn is a business man. If it sells better in Bulgaria let them have it. If whyte is good enough he should knock him out.
Will this fight happen? First I hear it's going to happen, then I hear it will not happen, what's going on?
