Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter on Joshua Step Aside: 'From a Business Side, Why Not?'

[greeneye99]

I would not be surprised if Usyk defeated Fury, he would retire, since their would be nothing left to prove

Wow
So you would like Usyk defeat Fury & retire without any Title
defenses?
Wow
Ya'll are Usyk fanboys * Not Boxing fans

Why would Fury play support to Usyk vs Joshua? Fury is the man here, HE would be he draw!.....Neither of these fights would be support fights, they are both Main Events, so that wouldn't work. Fury or Joshua wouldn't ever want to play support to the other when they can command top billing

"He would be the draw!
How many Stadiums or Arenas has Tyson Fury filled in the UK?
I'll wait......
Lololololol

So Fury can just fight outside the top 10 guys at his leisure instead because in your opinion Whyte does bad in other eras ? What escapes logic is how he’s able to avoid mandatory fights and he gets credit for performances with Schwartz who he said was a legit threat but says Whyte isn’t and that’s why he never wanted that fight , are you sure your name shouldn’t be Fury fanatic 75 ?

Because Fury isn’t a draw on his own and both Joshua and Whyte are massive over there . They are both main events but no way is Fury going to headline over Joshua and fighting Usyk the better opponent.

Schwarz was in the top 10 in a sanctioning body because he had that useless intercontinental bauble actually and so was Wallin for that matter, as for Whyte being massive LOL he hasn't sold out unless fighting a former AJ opponent or Chisora.

So that's a good one when he proves he can sell on his own then he'll be considered "massive", until that day he's as "massive" as Fury which until proven otherwise is not at all.

Quick question.....how much money is to be made with the Usyk v Fury fight to offer AJ 20 mil if true?

Odds are it isn't true, let's be real here Fury hasn't done a PPV at a UK Friendly time in what 7 years? and it done what 545k buys.

Ad Usyk has done 603k against Bellew, Chisora 820k (this figure isn't guaranteed as "PPV" football was happening at the same time) and probably about about 1.1m against AJ.

I doubt they're going to exceed Usyk vs AJ numbers so even if they got 1.1M buys they've got like £27m PPV revenue about £8.5m gate, w/e they'd make on concession stands and sponsorship deals.

There quite frankly isn't enough money to pay a step aside fee unless it happens in Saudi or some other country that pays a huge site fee.

Not sure why people seriously think this can happen. Firstly, I can't see Joshua even wanting to, as he wants his shot. Secondly, it'd only happen if he was gauranteed the winner. And thirdly, if he was, then that means that Whyte will have to step aside, and he won't get a shot until 23 at the earliest. So no chance of that happening lol. It's Usyk,Joshua and Fury, Whyte. People should just accept it.

I think this decision is bigger than just joshua

[Babadoux]

Yeaaaa…. That would never happen. The event wouldn’t cover the purses they’d have to pay all four guys. Not to mention the undercard. Unless everyone involved would agree to take a pay cut - which also would never happen. AND there’s no way in hell AJ would agree to fighting on Furys undercard lol that would be like Spence fighting on Buds or vice versa

That wasn't a serious recommendation

Wallin was a cherry pick over Whyte .Schwartz was picked over Kuzman .Businessman Fury has all you fooled he’s calculated every fight that favors him so far ,Fury hasn’t sold out fighting an actual champion five times ?

[Rodtang]

How Whyte is even in the equation escapes all logic. The man wouldn’t be anything other than a journeyman at best in any other HW era. This isn’t hating on the man facts are facts. He wouldn’t touch the top 10 in any HW era.

But he's in his era, and he's mandatory, so good for him.

Nobody can force him to step aside. So he's calling the shots.
