According to Bob Arum Whyte wants at least $10M to fight Fury in March. Fury might fight Helenius or Ruiz This content is protected
I don't think that's too far fedged. The PPV for an all Bri'ish WBC/Ring HW titlefight would be huge. If it takes place in the UK, where it belongs, and not the US.
Ah would you look at that. I was right Fury will fight Ruiz not only because Ruiz is tailor made for him but because he battered Anthony Joshua and looked like utter sh*t against Arreola afterwards Ruiz would be a a big win and if Fury beats him, his resume will easily surpass Anthony Joshua's if it hasn't already, no question. Nice move indeed Fury. Chess, not checkers
Surely if Whyte took say 25-30% as offered, then he ends up with near enough to 10 million anyway..... They would sell out Millenium stadium which is 75k people and then PPV on top of that it would be pretty huge. I'm not clear why Hearn and Whyte are trying to dig their heals in over this....
10mil guarentee plus ppv share? With the respective histories of Fury and Whyte, Usyk will be long retired before those two ever negotiate a fight.
Fury will fight Ruiz who also looked shocking in his last fight. Low effort minimal training required.
Dillian Whyte priced himself out of a huge fight with Joshua for WBA, IBF and WBO belts back in 2019, so no surprise he's looking to price himself out of a fight with Fury for WBC belt. Whyte wants winnable fights where he gets the lion's share of PPV.
This fight will not sell. Anyone who thinks so is out of their mind. Whyte brings nothing to the fight. This will be jus another filler mandatory.
This fight sells big in the UK, a Fury title defence in Manchester or Wales is a big deal. The build up alone will generate huge hype hype.
It will sell amazingly well in the UK Whyte has done great numbers on ppv over here he always puts on good scraps chisora Parker Joshua povetkin plus us English love a big heavyweight fight.
Not sure if you seen but they want to offer him 5m minimum and 20% of anything on top. He wants 10m plus 30-35% on top. Whyte started at 45% because team fury tried to start at 20% he would likely take £8m plus 35%. The fight does £25m/$30m so lowballing him at £5m plus 20% of anything on top means he still Walks away with £5m. That’s a massive lowball. Whyte also knows Hearn and DAZN will go in heavy on this fight. If he gets a split of say 35% on a pursebid he likely takes the £10m he’s after
