Whyte trying to sabotage Wembley PPV

Nobody wanted this fight when it was announced it was trashed widely across the internet. The fight has sold out because it's 'Tyson Fury' who has built up a massive brand/following over the past 4 years (by excellent work of his/Arum's backroom team). Nobody is going there because they think Whyte has a chance of beating Fury, I have not seen anyone (except Dean) who actually gives him a chance in this. Correct me if I'm wrong with evidence to the contrary.

 

Media said the same about Joyce chances against Dubois. Groves chances against Eubank Jr.

I called these two fights right and I go against the majority and I believe Whyte wins this fight. I believe quality of opposition that Fury has fought since coming out retirement compared to Whytes superiror opposition will be telling. Fury hasn't fought anyone of Whytes quality or better since 2015 whilst during that time Whyte has beaten several opponents in my view that are better than anyone Fury has beaten since coming out of retirement.

 

I do not know what planet you live in but most pundits I follow had Groves beating Eubank and Joyce beating Dubois including myself which IMO were two glaringly obvious fights to call. Whyte has been badly concussed and had several contentious decisions, most notably against an ancient Chisora who Fury destroyed in his prime.

Lovely touch.

 

Joyce was 3/1 underdog with bookies. Most pundits were back Dubois. Most of this forum were predicting Dub

I don't know about bookies odds but most on this forum back Eubank to beat Groves as did the pundits (eg Froch gave Groves no chance).

The contentious decisions were just from the Whyte haters - I thought Whyte was the deserved winner against Chisora 1 and Parker. Add to that Whyte has beaten Povetkin and Ruvas whilst Fury best opponent he has beaten since his comeback is an overrated Wilder.

 

You genuinely don't think the fact that it is two Brits fighting for the belt has anything to do with it selling out??

Your head has gone if you think otherwise.

irrespective of whom you lean towards as a fighter.

 

I was in the minority on here, as you post, backing Joyce. See the thread in question. I cannot remember the Eubank Groves pre fight threads but my head says Groves without checking.

Whyte has a chance v Fury, Fury has, after all, been dropped before as has Whyte. It's heavyweight boxing, unexpected sh!t happens within a fight sometimes. Fury is the rightful favourite but myself, I am not putting any £££s on the outcome.

Whyte has to target the body of Fury imo to have a chance.

I have it 70/30 in favour of Fury. But do not discount the shock, I still remember Tokyo 1989.

 

Yeah those body shots could chop Fury down imo. Whyte needs to work that body early then keep switching upstairs. I'm convinced he is going to cause Fury big problems. This isn't a forgone conclusion especially if Fury thinks it is.

 

I have only heard Frank Warren mention this so far, but any of the other top British contenders would have done the same numbers Joyce, H.Fury, Dubois or Chisora (other current viable Brits) because it's against Tyson Fury. Fury against any other top 5 contender also sells out Wembley. It's the Tyson Fury show. I do have to emphasise my previous point (again) nobody wanted this fight when it was announced/conceived, it was widely trashed.

 

He was knocked out by Povetkin, a 40 year old ex contender and went life and death with an old worn Chisora (twice) a fighter who Fury obliterated in his prime.

 

None of the names listed do the same numbers.

 

Just to inform new posters to the thread, the original point being discussed was is Dillian Whyte getting shafted and is he worth more than his £8million purse.

Why? Please add additional context to your answer than just a 'no'.

 

Nice video, pow.
So which one is you?

 

Yes, already established in the thread. Sure we can say, corrupt organizations will act corruptly as an excuse. But that's just an excuse/explaination of why he got shafted. The outcome is the same.

Matter of opinion.

Personally I think £8m would have been a fair offer prior to purse bids.
But, I understand why team Whyte are going out of their way to not help Warren given how things played out. Both sides are at fault by sticking purely to the commitments of the bout agreement. As Sauerland pointed out in the earlier video, Warren by right can act this way, but he would personally come to the table and make some concessions to Whyte to get him on side.

But I think another point that is fair to discuss in the thread, is that Warren isn't helping his own promotion with his undercard. This thread was started when the undercard came out. Possibly, a convenient deflection...

 

You start by proving with evidence that Whyte being the opponent has had no effect on ticket sales??
