So that would be a yes, then. He should take the 4 million. He's not getting that to fight anyone else.
I think Whytes argument seems to be that he's become a PPV fighter in his own right now and a second fight between him and Joshua would generate a lot of PPV buys and thus he deserves a larger cut than he's being offered.
I mean I know that Parker had a belt, but how how much did he make in fighting Joshua? He definitely doesn't bring as much to the table as Whyte does in terms of people coming to see him/people buying the PPV.
Issue Whyte has he can only be a PPV fighter with a PPV channel to put him on.
4m and chance to win the lot - and your next fights 10-15m at least - surely a gamble worth taking.

Saying that after the pasting he had from AJ last time he might not fancy it.
Maybe Brezdale looks pretty appealing

But lets be real, the gamble won't pay off. He's right to moan, especially if Parker, Povetkin got paid more
He'd earn more money shouting about how AJ ducked him, featuring on some more good bills and fighting AJ a year later in an even more hyped fight

If Hearn gets pissed , and pisses him off , he's no longer a protected ppv star , he can go sign with Haymon , fight Joe Joyce , put it on the line with Miller and find out what level there both on , , suppose theres lots of options , but they will all mean putting it on the line , and up till now the only time he's done that is against Parker , , unless you consider a European level Chisora as elite heavyweight ,
He's a good talker , thats had a very wealthy smooth promoter thats manufactured his carreer , now he's believing his own publicity , lets have it right Whytes carreer up till now has'nt been the great big deal he seems to think its been , christ Hearn has got him that much publicity through IFL , they even interviewed his brother , who thinks he's got a fan base , take away Hearn and Whtye is just another lower down the scale heavyweight , who's managed to climb the ladder without actually doing the buisness .
If Hearn fooks him off he's reached the pinnacle now , Unles he puts it on the line against Joyce , Poletkin, Miller , Ortiz , all 4 could and probably would beat him , then his 4 mill payday against AJ is up the Swanny .
Can't help but think of that saying , show me a lawyer who defends himself , and i'll show you a fool ,, same with managing himself , he's got deluded , and is biting the hand that fed him , me thinks it will come back and bite him on the ass

Good points.
And it should be remembered, a purse of four million QUID would be one of the very highest anyone earns this year, across the globe. Remove Canelo and AJ, and there's only a few fighters who could pick up more in a single fight.
If he was blowing away the likes of Parker, Chisora and Helenius fair enough, but IMO he lost the first Chisora fight, and he seems to have established himself as being a bit better than most of the top ten. Would be funny if he jumped ship to Fwank but if he was my mate I'd tell him to take the £4m.
