So Eddie might be looking at Whyte vs Usyk next to give AJ time to prepare to fight the winner.

Whyte will probably get more for that than his purse against Fury, it’s for more belts and it’s a more winnable fight for him. Also allows him to continue to push legally against the WBC.

It’s strange hearing Frank saying he hopes Whyte helps the promotion given how openly happy Frank was at Whyte losing against Povetkin. If Whyte takes the fight then he’ll get paid exactly the same regardless of how much promotion he does so he’s unlikely to want to help them out.

It’s infuriating how long things are dragging on at the moment. I don’t really care who fights who - I just want to see some fights!

He won't be the A side against Usyk..

It would be on DAZN, so not PPV.

he'd had to give sanction fees to 3 orgs instead of 1 or even 4 if you include the IBO.

I really don't think he'd get THAT much more.

Plus there's the 10% sitting there for the winner. If he's confident enough.

$7.4m is currently £5.5m today. Could change, but it won't be a big change up or down ..

The additional 10% if he wins is $4.1m which today converts around £3.1m..

Imagine Hearn was the winning bid? Whyte would have been worse off..

I get that he’s not the A side against Usyk but the Saudis are seemingly keen to stage a fight and it’s not out of the realms of possibility they could offer $25m for Whyte/Usyk plus any DAZN income (which would launch their PPV in the U.K.). Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Whyte got $12m or more out of that.

People are just speculating. Let’s wait to see what happens. He may be at a press conference with Fury later in the week.

Hopefully mate I love the fight, I've gave Whyte enough slack over the years regarding the WBC and even the Rivas situation but he's turned down a title fight before for millions, I wouldn't be surprised if he finds away to avoid this fight, same with Fury in all fairness, both should stay on track, im convinced the other will pull out

Most fighters will not make 6mil in their fighting career and life afterwards.
I hope things go very wrong for Whyte tbh.

What a fat fûcking idiot he is.

It’s mostly assumption.

Purse bids are done. Purses set. All they need to do is sign contracts and sort an arena/stadium.

Yeah. As there's been no boxing people are reaching for any story they can

WBC are putting it on Whyte now.
