Whyte wants $10M to fight Fury

Not at all. It makes perfect sense as wants to be undisputed champion before he moves up in weight. So take Ugas on win and fight Crawford. Clear path.

 

As a fan i can't agree

Sure, from a professional view i get it

I eant them to fight like now

 

Sorry to join in on this, but the problem the WBC have though is their practice of updating and deleting documents when expedient for them; whilst I can't comment on the legality of that, it is certainly not ethical.

I doubt this arbitration is strictly about the Fury fight, but the general shady behaviour of the WBC and their interactions with Whyte for the last 4 years.

Case in point, the fiasco that was Breazeale#6 v UKAD banned Molina#12
"eliminator>final eliminator>(media questions)>our mistake: eliminator>(fight happens)>actually it was a final eliminator>(media questions)> our mistake: it was a final eliminator for Breazeale only > (court case threatened) > our mistake Whyte#1 v Breazeale#4 is the actual final eliminator."

Luckily for us fans and somewhat unluckily for the WBC, in the age of social media everything is scrutinised. A lot of their shady practice and original documents get screen captured and poured over by both the media and YTBCs.

Anyway, I guess we will see what happens whether the arbitration involving Whyte and the WBC continues in March.

Happy New Year

 

Happy New Year!!

I agree with you completely on it being pretty shady practice. Unfortunately the WBC is a private entity. They can make up their own rules along the way and a boxer can choose not to use them. Whyte has made money using the WBC interim belt as leverage and upon accepting it he has a copy of the rules. Whyte is going to have to prove he deserves more than the 20%.

I also want to add I am in no way agreeing with the WBC. Just looking at it from a legality standpoint. Nor do I care what each fighter gets paid.

 

During this entire ridiculous Dillian Whyte saga, the WBC hasn't done anything shady at all. It's Hearn & Whyte who have been shady the entire time, trying to fool the fans into blaming the WBC to distract from the fact that Whyte was trying to sneak into a vacant title without ever fighting a leading contender.

 

I disagree. Them putting in writing that they can adjust the purse percentage to whatever they deemed, is shady practice. It isn't illegal by any means but is pretty sleazy.

 

Every sanctioning body has modified the purse bid split when one of the fighters is a huge worldwide attraction. There's nothing shady about it at all. When Fury was the mandatory, Klitschko requested the split be modified to 80/20 and the request was granted. Were you complaining then about Fury only getting 20%?

The purse bid split for Joshua-Usyk was ruled 80/20 as well. Were you complaining then?

Or is this just an Eddie Hearn fueled outrage?

 

WTF are you on about? Did I say anything about the 80/20 being unfair? Nope, not once. So I don't have a clue what the **** you are going on about.

I'm talking about the way they write rules that hamstrings a fighter. The shadiness is how they can dictate a boxers earning when they favor one over the other with a vague "if the governing body unanimously votes on a percentage". The belts do help in name recognition and earning , so boxers have no choice but to pay the fees and play the politics. The WBC isn't alone in this. It is the corruption of the business. All the sanctioning bodies are for profit organizations. They will favor the lucrative fighter. If you don't think there is any shadiness in how the rule can favor one fighter over the other, that is your opinion. I've been watching boxing long enough to know otherwise. Professional boxing is big money with is big time corruptions.

 

If you agree it's fair, what are you complaining about?

There's nothing shady about it. They looked at the recent purses of each fighter, saw that Fury makes 15x more than Whyte, and made a slight adjustment to the split out of respect to Fury's earning power. He'll still only be making 4x more than Whyte, even though he usually makes 15x more.

That's not true. The WBC is a non-profit and spends millions of dollars on pensions for retired fighters, drug testing, medical research, etc.

 

Whyte should have jumped on 5mil guarantee + 25% PPV.

Maybe could have negotiated to 30%.

45% is nonsense.

 

You have to be Mauricio Suliaman behind this account. The name gives it away

Question ? How many fights do you think it would for Frank Sanchez to get a shot at the titles

 

I see now that it is pointless responding with you.

 

Moro and I have been friends for years, but I am not him and I don't work for the WBC.

I have no idea.

 

I'm sorry that you don't like facts. Don't know what else to tell you. It's literally a non-profit organization. Look it up yourself if you want to.

 

Those aren't fact, those are your opinion. It is a business that takes in money. It does not further social cause or provide a public benefits. You have to pay them to join their club. Those are facts!
