Eddie Hearn mocks Tyson Fury for not being cut out of Dillian Whyte’s PS6m purse offer ahead of big PPV fight

TYSON FURY mocked Eddie Hearn's inability to get a cut from Dillian Whyte before their all-British battle.

Hearn's PS23.6million bid for the WBC mandatory title fight between Whyte & Fury was rejected by Hearn, which is now scheduled for April 23rd in Cardiff.

Frank Warren, a rival promoter, won the rights instead with a historic PS30.6m deal.

It is believed that Whyte does not share his earnings because he has not signed a contract to Hearn. Instead, he stars on Matchroom Bills fight-by-fight.

Warren and Bob Arum, the US legend, promoted Fury. Hearn was a target.

He posted a photo of Warren, the Matchroom boss, old and grey. Warren was sporting a baby's face.

Fury, 33, captioned this meme: "Since you purse bids. @DillianWhyte informs Eddie that he's not getting a cut from his purse

Before the purse bids, the WBC stated that Whyte (33 years old) would receive only a 20% cut.

The No1 contender claimed that his interim title should give him up to 45% and is currently appealing the split.

Hearn was faced with the possibility of giving Fury 80 percent of his bid. He refused to let his ego take over and paid the price.

According to him, The MMA Hour would have lost a lot and Fury probably wouldn't have won the fight.

"Officially, I would have liked to have promoted it, but you have put a number that you are willing to lose.

"The moment you act on your ego, the minute you make a fatal error that could cost you millions of money." That is not how I play.

"I support our guys, but only to the point that we understand the business.

"If you go in with your d***, you bid PS10million over that number, and when you are done watching the bottom line, you have done PS5-PS10million, great job!

"If they didn't turn out, they would have saved millions as the sole bidder."
