Tyson Fury could get 80 per cent of the purse 😳
Instead, ‘The Gypsy King’ was mandated to defend his title against Whyte as he enters the final fight of his lucrative Top Rank contract.
Should both parties fail to strike a deal by January 11, the fight will go to purse bids and then it becomes a case of which broadcaster and promotional team are willing to pay the most to put the fight on., Whyte and his team would be encouraged to secure a deal before then as he would be forced to accept just 20% of the split., with the 33-year-old prepared to not defend his green and gold strap amid uncertainty around Whyte’s situation.
Whyte earned £4million from his victory against Alexander Povetkin in March 2021, with Fury banking £20m from his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder. The organisation’s rules state that a mandatory fight will be ordered on a purse split of 55/45 in Fury’s favour although the WBC can use their discretion to alter the percentages.
Whyte may now be forced to accept an offer from Fury’s team who were willing to give him a quarter of the purse and a share of the pay-per-view sales.+18. Play safe.
