whyte vs wach off! digrace by eddie

[cold187]

this fight is off, as Eddie now wants Parker vs whyte
disgraceful by Eddie who moans about khan ducking brook (for bigger fights) now hearn doing the same

joke will be on matchroom, as wach would have beaten whyte, and as poor as parker was in his last fight, cant wait to see him spark out whyte

if whyte wasnt with matchroom or british, he's be seen as a gatekeeper and not "world class" in an awfully weak HW division

[GlobalBox]

Rumours also about Chisora/Helenius possibly being off, if that is the case it would be a short price for Whyte/Chisora 2 and the winner facing Parker I am guessing.

Bad drills if a fights been agreed to let a guy down

I'm not a Whyte fan but can't call him a gatekeeper really. He's a prospect on the way up. A gatekeeper is normally a guy whose been at the top and is on the way down but fighting on, like zab Judah became at 147 eventually, or a seasoned guy whose at a level but every time he steps up to the top level he gets beat. Becoming a stepping stone to prove yourself on world level

Whytes unproven basically

O2 Arena? They're gona have to pull this one aren't they now? That's a Friday Fight Night card at Everton Park Leisure Centre.

Nobody is interested in Wach - it wasn't going to sell.
Smart move from Eddie who probably saw the writing on the wall with slow tickets and pulled the fight early rather then drag it out.

[Ricky_]

Why is it off? Did Eddie pull it on basis of low interest?

I was looking forward to Wach vs Whyte.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hearn had said Whyte has a foot injury.. I smell a lie..

My arse

He's tried to feed us another god awful show and it's backfired. Fuckin prick that he is. I'm surprised Sky even OK'd this show to begin with.

I tweeted when this show was announced that it was awful and optimistic to have it at the o2 so no surprise it's off. Eddie gives it the big un about his shows selling well and there's no way he can make the o2 look half full.

How much does Copper Box hold?

He might be able to fill the ExCel Arena

[TheCobra]

All those 'TBA's. It's like the good old days.

[Ossyrules]

Whyte shouldn't be headlining shows imo

Think they were only having half the venue open - similar to Warren shows at Manchester Arena.

[Gnome]

If I was Wach I would be raging about people wasting my time. I hope he gets a decent payoff.

Likewise. All depends on what happens next. Fighters have had to delay due to injury forever basically; but there's a worrying trend of injury being used as an excuse for cancellation - or at least that's how it feels.

I can understand Haye effectively cancelling due to needing surgery. But Whyte's bad foot, Hughie's bad back and so on? Just stick back a few weeks surely?

In all honesty, there's only Joshua and at a push Bellew shows that sell out for Hearn. People just have this perception that every event he does sells out.

This year, McDonnell wasn't a sell out, the ECHO show was awful and sold barely any tickets, Birmingham didn't sell well either. Brook is selling well, think they're through 20k tickets which is an impressive achievement but prior to his Golovkin defeat, he struggled in Sheffield.

[Oiky]

Bad to let Wach down like that but the fight wasn't a big seller

[TheCobra]

Whyte shouldn't be headlining shows imo

Yeh agree with that. Whyte and Buglioni was really pushing it as far as O2 Arena shows go. Both good solid undercard fighters or maybe headline at a 2-3000 venue, but certainly not O2 headliners.

I thought that as soon as it was announced, even Eddie was never shifting that many tickets for this.

Are you sure this was going to be on Sky and not Dave?

?

But it's Whyte that pulled out. From the sounds Chisora Helenius is still going ahead it's just delayed for some vague reasons, I'm guessing it's just to get the venue they want or something.
