JOSEPH PARKER v DILLIAN WHYTE

Naseem Hamed did all sorts of WWF moves in his fights.

Parker is too nice, should of been raging. Sure enough the sky interviewer didn't mention about the state Whyte was in after the knockdown, if that was an away fighter it would of been well stopped.

I agree. Could have easily waved it off, Dillian was so wobbly

The money is gonna come too hard to resist eventually. Like what is Wilder gonna do, go on fighting mugs for 1/10th of the money for the rest of his career.

It's risky too, look at his last fight, he loses and the cash cow is gone. And ultimately the probably know they have to come here to make it happen, unless they can actually deliver on this $50m stuff, which they probably wouldn't when it comes down to it.

they didn't want Parker v Joshua 2.

Fury's next opponent is less of joke than his last one although he is 1.03.

If he doesn't look terrible then he will be not far out of the mix.

n88uk

Did he get his opponent into a headlock?

the end went over my head, but having watched it back Whyte should have been counted out

The ref stood there for 5 seconds before counting, then gave him another 10 seconds to get up

It was like watching a last man standing match and the ref was down as well

They won't be able to hide behind excuses forever, by next year it will happen imo, and imo next year is when Eddie wanted it to happen all along.The only way it won't happen is if he could make Fury instead, but that's even more impossible to make. Fans will rage if he tries to sell Joshua vs Whyte 2 or Joshua vs mandatories too many times.

yes I'd agree that Eddie wants to control everything and do the fight when he/McCracken/AJ wants it rather than Wilder dictating proceedings. which is why it's possible Wilder will be awkward and refuse to fight in April unless they meet some ridiculous demands

Yes but problem is he has 4 fight contract with Frank, thus Fury vs Joshua cannot happen anytime soon, and won't happen probably until 2020.

Will Tyson wanna fight against a Eddie fighter after watching that?, not to mention some of the other Eddie fights we've seen

Enjoyed the fight, though. Much better than i thought it would be.

Eddie's laughing to the bank anyhow. he's got so many options, and all he has to do is offer most of them and they can't say "thank you Eddie, when's the date?" soon enough. he controls the whole landscape bar Wilder

It is McCracken and Eddie that don't want the fight. Wilder would take it.

And yes Naz got his opponent in a headlock. DDT's, bodyslams, Naz had all the tricks up his sleeve.

Go to like 1:15 in R2 to see Naz headlock DDT Barrera in R2.

Eddie imo just wants to delay it. Also ultimately AJ is dictating to Eddie, he has too much power that Eddie can just control him to stop the fight like that anyway.

Tyson's shot. he's trying to figure out the best way to cash out and maximize his money from doing it.

Cheers

It shows what a farce professional boxing is sometimes, you wouldn't get away with this c*** in a local fight

There might be other more cynical reasons Eddie is delaying it btw. He's trying to sign Wilder to DAZN in America. In other words he'd control all the shots then.

I think it was Naz vs Cesar Soto that was just filled with all sorts of WWF moves from Naz.

Good shout. Wilder could well cave eventually because he's being paid a pittance by Haymon compared to what AJ is earning

N88uk

they should be warned after the very first illegal move and docked a point, 2nd one = disqualification

Its a sham

Bellew pretending he wants to fight Usyk. Not a chance he'll fight him.

I thought that, but supposedly it seems he might be heading that way.

you're wrong. I think Bellew wants it

I kinda bought into what Eddie was saying the other day about Bellew wants the chance for all the belts, ring magazine title.

Bellew is dictating to Hearn

I doubt Warren will be able to extend the deal if Fury is looking good so would maybe try to make the 4th fight a big one.

Fury fighting obscure guys is surely not going to make Frank much money.

It will come down to if either side wants silly money to make it happen, as there won't be silly money available, but still good money.

wants to capitalize while his popularity is still high, so he fight on PPV again and another huge payday

BT Sport are paying Frank/Fury

I don't really get Frank's plan with him full stop, he surely knows Fury is just gonna f off to fight AJ eventually for no benefit to him. Fury supposedly wants easy knockover jobs to start, and I guess it's all been dictated to in his 4 fight deal from the off, it's probably pretty much planned who he fights, but he's got to step it up quality wise eventually.

After all that

Well done to DW backers, esp one's who backed points

Just not DW himself lol

But yer BT are paying way more than Sky anyway. Supposedly their budget for regular Saturday fight night is like 2.5x that of a Sky Saturday fight night.

This is basically what Fury wanted to do with Hearn and Matchroom. Sign to fight 4 times, and fight 4 low level opponents. But Hearn wouldn't agree to it, so that's why Fury ended up signing with Frank and BT

Really he probs has 1 fight left anyway. Not much out there for him is there. Either fight Fury or some other British heavyweight, or fight Usyk, otherwise no money/what's the point. He will lose any of these fights and probably call it a day imo.

Well Pianeta is a step up on Seferi ( yes, anyone would be). Then maybe David Price.

Because Hearn won't give Fury like £1m just to fight a bum.

Yer but he's got to fight at least someone fringe level surely before going in with AJ.

Ideally he wants to fight Fury on PPV for a huge payday, but he realises it will be 2 years or more away. So Bellew has realised the biggest fight out there for him bar fighting a true active heavyweight like AJ/Wilder/Whyte etc would be to fight Usyk at CW for everything. I think win or lose that will be Bellew's final fight

Bellew can make more much money fighting another washed up 'known' fighter than go in with a genuine pound for pound elite opponent. He's admitted so himself.

No way he fights him he's having to reply because he's been called out

Yer but I'm far from convinced even that can be made because of the politics. It's more likely than Fury vs AJ politics wise, but even then the politics is a huge obstacle stopping it being made.

Yes but who is there apart from Fury? And Fury won't take it for at least 12 months, maybe longer. Fury realises he's shot so he's trying to train himself back into some sort of regular condition

Surprised there wasn't any "beef" between Bellew and Haye tonight on punditry duty. Could have nicely setup Bellew v Haye 3 for November!

on PPV of course

It's not like Bellew vs a mug will be PPV, he's got to face someone at least credible for it to be a PPV fight. He must still make several millions to fight Usyk assuming they'd work out like a 50:50 split (which I assume will be the angle they go for).

Yes 50/50 split and it'll be on SBO PPV and they'll throw the full hype machine at it

few heavy loosers in here tonight, parker got beat out the park, roughouse tactics from whyte or not

from the 3rd round onwards it was easy to tell parker didn't fancy it, whyte did what he had to do, very nearly had a heart attack in the last 300 secs or so lol tbf

go count your losses whingers, im busy counting all my luvvly cash thanks to whyte, thanks shann

They managed to make a Parker v Whyte Saturday Fight Night main event a PPV tonight. they don't care, they just want to rip off the fans to milk them

The timing is a bit awkward as he'd want it Goodison ideally, but that's not available for like another 10 months, which is probably too long to sit around doing nothing to wait for.

Nah, he's done Goodison Park and that moment will live with him forever. I think he'd happily settle for the O2 for the Usyk fight. Could be wrong though. He's motivated by the £ now

Yer it will have to be O2 or Manchester Arena, only 2 arenas big enough for a fight like that. I would think Manchester might be more likely as it's closer to home for Bellew.

@wisewords, are u trying to say that wasn't worth top billing, ure a **** if u dont think it was imo

Yes I'm saying that fights of that ilk could easily be on Sky Sports instead of PPV. Just because Sky/Matchroom love PPV, doesn't mean everything has to be PPV

It's a pretty crappy PPV headliner even if the card worked out pretty enjoyable. Ultimately it's a PPV headlined by 2 fringe world level guys for no belt, with an undercard full of nothing fights.

And it's certainly shows you much Eddie has changed now in terms of milking everything for PPV. 5 years ago a fight like this would never be ppv.

It's not just Eddie though is it, it's Sky. They want a certain amount of PPV shows per year now

Froch vs Bute was on regular Saturday night fight night ffs and when was that?

Can't see it myself. Eddie has the casuals by the short and curlies they'll buy anything PPV now. Bellew said he prefer's fighting heavyweight's because their feet are so slow and stupid in the ring. I'm sure they can find someone

This fight was made on 7 weeks notice or whatever because they needed to fill the PPV slot

2012 for Froch vs Bute.

Yer it does fill like Eddie just fills a quota now of a set number of ppv dates and just has to find fights to make those dates. AJ will always be 2 a year, but he still has to fill like 2-3 others a year.

From now on, I imagine all Dillian Whyte fights will be PPV

(until he loses)

At the moment Eddie's UK PPV king if obv AJ, and then he's got Bellew and Whyte for backup

Er depends, if it's Parker sort of level opp then yes and it probs will be so you're probs right. If it's a knockover job to wait for a world title shot then it won't be. He will probs lose soon anyway (when he challenges for a world title).

is* obv AJ

*feel ffs

Interesting one, if we've got Whyte v Chisora 2 in November, will it be PPV?

Yes.

It's gonna depend if Whyte gets made mandatory. If he's made mandatory he's unlikely to fight anyone of substance if he's guaranteed a world title shot next year, if he isn't then he will fight someone of substance.

Eddie's effectively got everything mapped out until April next year regardless of whether Wilder agrees to fight or not. Eddie Hearn's got the game by the balls right now

Yes Froch v Bute was a bigger fight.

I agree the way it works now is instead of 'Big Fight = PPV' Eddie and Sky have got the public thinking 'PPV so it must be a big fight'

Yes that's the crux of it tobes. They know the public have an appetite for PPV now so they feed them

It all descended into that as soon as Bellew vs Cleverly was PPV.

And that ppv headed by Brook vs Gavin too. What one of those was first.

I don't think any PPV's do bad in Britain now. The Sky hype machine get behind it and the casuals lap it up.

They can literally just about put anyone on now. Heavyweights especially.

Even a "bad" ppv for Sky does like 200k buys.

Brook v Golovkin was a funny one. Brook literally sacrificed for the PPV money

Yes. That was the first shocker. I didn't even bother looking for a link.

lmao off, you all sound like you know eddie hearn personally, eddie this and eddie that! just the kinda chat u would here from the foaming at the mouth loosers who lose all they're money to buy food for the family in the bookies on a friday afternoon, give up the now before its too late

Mikey garcia v Robert easter Jnr tonight. Should be a good one. Expect Mikey to win, but odds look a bit stingy.

I missed your prediction, treeko. Luckily for me, I called it right anyway. As did a few others on here.

It's not on the telly is it? Boxnation is a load of shiite now.

weigh in photo Easter towered over him

Des with the overhand right clean KO

wasnt on bf till last thing just to place my bet, had other things to do on a sat nite rather than hang about the forum lol, sorry bud

no worries, treeko. good luck to you, but predictions carry more weight generally if they are made before the fight.

i indeed appreciate that sir, i was just catching up on the bile that was being spewed from the serial gambling addicts and serial loosers on here and felt i had to comment, but i do agree with your sentiments so shall refrain from engaging any more as it would come across in the wrong way mabye

Very eloquently put, treeko.

rather than reading back what was prediction?

the best moment was pre fight del boy vs takam look at the betting chart.
then sir hearn announces how great chisora was fighting with dodgy shoulder

Fair play to these heavyweights. Not an easy way to make a living.

treeko sounded mad

I thought back of the head shots were illegal in boxing?

Go and watch the fight again and Whyte must have hit Parker to the back of the head about 500 times, all without warning

Boxing is nothing more than sanctioned street fighting now imo

treeko was very drunk lol, had my biggest single bet of the yr on whyte and got the fright of my life in the last 30 secs of the fight!

anybody watching the whole fight live must have seen whytes tactics and more heavy handedness it was only going to go one way, then i came on here and had to read all the bitches greeting about this and that it just set me off

no offence meant folks

Spend your bullseye wisely, treeko

No need to explain yourself, treeko. Your views are as valid as anyone else's, and you didn't say anything particularly offensive as far I can see (I've seen a helluva lot worse over the years) Well done on your win, I hope it was a big one. To be honest, I was very worried about my own bet at the end, especially listening to radio commentary, when it sounded like Whyte might get stopped. and I ended up laying off more than I would have if I had live pics without a big delay.

Rawling always overexaggerates for better effect on the radio. the market only went to 1.5x in the last round so it wasn't in huge panic mode, only semi panic mode. You could sense Dillian would just about make it to the end, especially with the home town referee's reluctancy to stop it unless he literally couldn't stand up

I think I must be one of the few people who didnt panic when wyhte went down, wasnt really a heavy shot, was always getting up from it

Nah I was the same Cooper. watched too much boxing and know Whyte isn't a quitter
