Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale - May 18, 2019

How pissed off would you be getting drilled like that after agreeing to take a dive?

Dude if that was a dive I'd hate to see a real knock out

[gilgamesh]

That " fight " had a whiff of fix to me

[tiny_acres]

Hell it wasn't a fixed fight.
It was a bad decision........ It was a bad decision for Breazelle to get in the ring

@ Oogie: This one was ridiculous but most of the others seem reasonable enough, whether you agree with them or not. I'll reserve judgement.

Got to feel a bit for Whyte but not too much. He deserves the fight ahead of Breazeale, no doubt, but he can’t keep moaning about it when he turned down £5m/£6m for a shot at 3 world titles against Joshua!

Dillian Whyte claimed that he was low-balled and offered a smaller payday to face AJ for the second time than the purse Matchroom paid him for the Dereck Chisora rematch.

This was not disputed by Eddie Hearn and in fact the Matchroom boss stated that 'The Bodysnatcher' should take the pay cut for an opportunity to gain ownership of the “keys to the kingdom”, which essentially meant accept the lowball bid for the sake of seeking sporting glory rather than being paid your financial self-worth.

Coincidentally, shortly after ‘The Body Snatcher’ declined Matchroom’s offer to engage in the rematch with Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn subsequently offered the bout to Jarrell Miller instead and even provided the American with a bigger purse than the sum that Whyte was offered. The package was supposedly $6.96m.

The purse that Jarrell Miller was offered to face AJ, was much bigger than the purse Dillian Whyte declined, at least by a $2m margin.

It doesn’t make sense for Whyte to be capable of earning 25% more competing in non-title bouts against the likes of Dereck Chisora, than engaging in a much bigger global commercial event challenging for the unified world heavyweight championship against a fellow-Brit like Anthony Joshua.

I honestly feel that the only reason why Eddie Hearn submitted the lowball offer to Whyte for the AJ bout, was for political reasons, to allow Matchroom and Joshua to dishonestly claim that 'The Body Snatcher' rejected the fight. The Matchroom boss must've surely known that Whyte would definitely reject the offer before he even submitted it.

If somebody offers to buy your house 25% less than market value, would you consider it a genuine proposition?

Whatever was offered to Whyte wasn’t down to Hearn/Matchroom. It was what AJ offered. Hearn said the offer came from AJ and AJ didn’t dispute this either.

I think from the outside, we can all see AJ is the money man here and it makes sense that he tells Hearn what to do. He is Hearn’s boss. Hearn’s company just promote his fights.

You might be right, but a submitting a lowball offer to a multiple PPV headliner, where he’s offered a smaller purse than anonymous names like Ruiz Jr. and Miller, is merely a political gesture rather than a genuine attempt to make the fight.

I agree. AJ is in control and didn’t want to give him an honest payday.. if that’s the case, Whyte May aswell just fight Chisora or Parker again on PPV.
