Comments Thread For: Fury-Whyte Heads To January 11 Purse Bid; WBC Sets 80/20 Split

What's the most someone will bid? I honestly can't see promoters bidding more than 10mil

If it happens I wouldn’t be surprised if Fury doesn’t come in focused and loses.
He was motivated to beat Wilder the first two fights than pissed Wilder cost him undisputed and a huge payday for the third fight.
With AJ/Usyk having unfinished business he has to take this mandatory or another fight in the meantime.
I can see Fury barely training and not coming in right and getting beat.

Eddie/DAZN are gonna have to bid £50 million to give Whyte the 10 that he wants..

It ain't happening.

Ridiculous split, but unless Whyte is planning to go down a legal route, it's time to get on with it.

If Whyte wins, he dictates the game.

This fight has to happen next, no interest in a non-title bout.

As if there was no arbitration going on.
Just a few weeks back they were unable to even order the fight bcs of it.

I doubt that greedy Whyte will accept this.

I fully expect him to walk away from yet another title shot.

They offered him 25% right?

Now WBC have ordered 20% is that final?

Arum offered 25% with a guarantee of 5 million.

Yes that's final, unless the two sides can make a deal.

Will Whyte have to crawl back to Arum?

I think he'll walk away.

He's done it before, he turned down 5 million for a shot at Joshua.

Now we see if Whyte really wants the fight or if he walks away from yet another shot.
