Whyte wants $10M to fight Fury

Really?

Interesting

I never saw that reported anywhere

 

My agenda ? I don’t give a damn what either guy makes. I’m showing you where and how they can make the 80/20 purse base in their rule. You just refuse to accept that fact. It doesn’t matter what 2.16 says because they put another clause into 2.2 that says they can modify the purse as they see fit.

 

yep an old Wlad is still better then an never was like Wilder.

 

It was known when substituted that EJ would face the winner.

 

Reported to press?

 

I don't care either. And yeah your agenda.

Point 2.16 is exactly about Champion/Mandatory and how the split is going to be.

Your copy/pasting me their old rules. Did you even check the Interim part of that old document ? They updated it in 2019, especially for Whyte and removed the Interim part.

Anyway read 1.27 from that old documented where they clearly state how the purse bid is going to be split, also 2.12.

Let me do it for you:
Division of Proceeds in a Purse Offer.
The net purse offer (after deduction of the WBC certification fees) shall be divided as follows:
a) 70% for the champion and 30% for the challenger.
b) 50% to each contender in the case of vacant titles or elimination bouts.
c) 55% to the champion and 45% to the interim champion, in the event of such a bout.
d) Notwithstanding the terms of subparagraphs a), b) and c) above, the Board of Governors may, in its discretion and by a majority vote, modify the division of purse offer proceeds between boxers in a purse offer in unusual or special cases, like the consideration of the outstanding marketing value of one of the boxers. The modification of the split will be limited to three categories: 70-30%; 60-40%; and 55-45% for the Champion and challenger, respectively, except in the most exceptional circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50%

This points clearly state how they can modify the split. Quite clearly.

Even on their new doc from 2019 it's clearly state it's 30-70 and they can modify it in 40-60, 45-55 and even 50-50 in some exceptional case.

 

No press conference it was just said in passing.

 

Last I will post on this. I don't know what else to tell you. You are hung up on this section of the rule. This isn't the first or will it be the last time they made special cases for the purse. Its in their rule that allows them to do it. Its their bread and butter so pretty sure their lawyered up when they wrote this so that they can dictate things they want for the fighter they favor. Is it far , no but it is what it is. All legal base on their written rule.

 

Hmmmm

 

I am surprised this is a shock to you as everyone was aware.

 

This is a lie. The current rules and regulations were published December 13, 2011. Interim champions haven't been entitled to 45% since the 2009 rules update, which was replaced over a decade ago by the rule that interim champions are treated as regular mandatories with no special rights in terms of the purse bid split.

 

He's purposely ignoring rule 2.6 which allows the WBC to give the champion a more favorable split and only posting rule 2.16, which allows the WBC to give the challenger a better split.

 

To be fair you can write whatever the **** you want, but that doesn't mean they have legally ground. It's depend on the laws in the country and so on.
I guess we will know more in the upcoming days. Hearn soon to be all over the media and we will see what Whyte team response is.
If they don't accept they will take a legal action obviously.

When you have rules that clearly state certain things, and there is also laws in action, you can't do anything you want.
But we all know how corrupt WBC are, and the case will be held in America, so who knows how this could end.

 

The rules clearly state the WBC can modify the split. The rules clearly state interim champions have no special rights in terms of the split. They are just normal challengers. There is no rule promising them 45%. You lied about that.

 

Must have passed me by

Still a crap move by Spence
