The current proposition is that Fury takes 80 percent of the prize money and Whyte gets the remaining 20 percent.<\/p>\n<p>That looks like a pretty unfair split on paper but the way the prize money is split is based on the previous purses of each fighter. Tyson Fury is the champ and arguably the biggest draw in the sport which is why his fights generate millions of dollars. Based on what Whyte has earned in his last few fights, the 20 percent that he would make from fighting Fury would justify his previous purses.<\/p>\n<p>However <a href=\"https:\/\/boxrec.com\/en\/proboxer\/569964\">Dillian Whyte<\/a> and his team are <strong>not keen on going with the 80\/20 split as he is looking for a 55-45 split<\/strong>. The two camps are required to reach an agreement by Jan 18 failing which the WBC will open it up to other promoters to takeover and make a purse bid for each fighter.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/abKIVIarySg?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Fury Camp Willing To Negotiate  <\/h2>\n<p>Bob Arum told the media this week that their side is open to talking with Whyte and working out a deal that seems fair to both parties.
