Is the contract signed? 
Re: Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte | BT PPV - 23 April 2022
Due to the fight last night I'd forgotten all about the deadline for this. If he'd had signed I'm sure it would have been announced unless Eddie intends to put an announcement about it on DAZN followed by the signing live and exclusive of it on there too

Highly unlikely since he's nothing to do with it.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte | BT PPV - 23 April 2022
Who knows. Probably bullshit. Only fights with Hearn that would earn Whyte $8m are AJ/Usyk and I can’t see the AJ fight happening next and I can’t see a deal being done with AJ to allow Whyte to fight Usyk unless it’s AJ straight after.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 16:48And then fight who?Nightmare Roy wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 16:26 Sun saying he might be knocking back Fury fight to sign a mega money deal with Hearn

Was that after he’d just taken a pasting off Price? Unless the money was big then I’m not surprised he turned it down. It would have been a beatdown.mickey1975 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 17:48He had no contract and was talked into turning down big money for Dubois then dropped.maverick23 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 17:26Whats Dave Allen got to do with Whyte/Fury?mickey1975 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 17:07 Look what Eddie Hills did to Dave Allen.

Also I don’t remember Allen being dropped. He returned against Darch with Matchroom and then retired just before fighting on a Matchroom show.

The money was supposedly very big but he stayed loyal to Matchroom. When he came back, they didn't want him.
Re: Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte | BT PPV - 23 April 2022
I recall him announcing his retirement. The guy did incredibly well money wise Vs success. Another hard grafting ticket seller early on, and self promotor to the max. Jonny Fisher is following the same journey, only even more so.maverick23 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 17:59Was that after he’d just taken a pasting off Price?

Dave isn't a ticket seller. He had a good social media profile.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte | BT PPV - 23 April 2022
Allen himself came out and said the money wasn’t enough. FW cam back with a bigger bid that was apparently equal to what he received against Price and it was rejected again. Given it was just after the Price fight I’m not surprised.mickey1975 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 20:09 The money was supposedly very big but he stayed loyal to Matchroom.

He said he was scared after the Price fight, scared to fight on. He also said he wasn’t a fighter anymore and that he’d had the fight beaten out of him and that he doesn’t want to keep getting hurt.
Given that, and his problems that he spoke about with the Usyk spar, I’m not surprised in the slightest that Matchroom didn’t choose to work with him when he returned. It’d look really poor on all involved if he did take another beating.

pretty weak for dub's team to even try to get allen after he was pounded by price, didnt he pass out and spend a few days in hospital? wasnt he mentally done with boxing at that point?

That happens though and Allen was still a semi big name in the U.K. so I don’t hold that against FW. Same as I don’t hold it against Matchroom for not working with Allen when he decided to come back after all of the things he said.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 02:45 pretty weak for dub's team to even try to get allen after he was pounded by price, didnt he pass out and spend a few days in hospital? wasnt he mentally done with boxing at that point?

the idea that matchroom was bad to allen is one of the silliest things ive seen hear in a while, very rarely does such a limited fighter get such opporutnities, including after multiple losses. dude basically admitted to having all sorts of health and mental problems after the price fight, hardly some injustice that mr didnt work with him again.
