"Tyson's final purse that had been lodged with the WBC was £20million and Dillian Whyte's purse was £300,000, that is why it is on the break up it is at.
"A scenario within the final yr I can consider is when Canelo fought towards his obligatory on the time, Billy Joe Saunders however Billy had simply finished a deal.
"There was no method he was gonna get any 45 p.c of a handbag as a result of the man who generates probably the most cash out the 2 of them is Canelo."

However Fury is without doubt one of the highest-paid fighters on this planet and in 2020, based on Forbes, he earned £42m from combating, endorsements and his WWE debut.
Whyte had hoped for a forty five per cent break up as a result of his standing as WBC 'interim' champ.
However Fury's superior profile has seen the WBC award him the lion's share of the potential battle purse.
Warren mentioned: "Definitely while you've obtained a heavyweight producing the cash that Tyson's producing, there's by no means gonna be that type of break up.
"That's not one thing that is new, this has been this fashion for over 25 years at the least. A lot of the organisations function this fashion and that is what it's.
"They'll make their attraction, no person would in any method from our perspective say you'll be able to't do this, however truth of the matter is I do not assume it would make a distinction."
