Comments Thread For: Warren: Fury-Usyk Fell Apart When Joshua Asked For Extra $5 Million

[billeau2]

Frank just paid 41 million dollars for Dillian Whyte.....a guy that made $300,000 in his last fight.

Frank like everyone on the planet realized he had grossly out bid the next closest lunatic Eddie Hearn. A fight that Hearn admittedly was grossly over paying by 8-10 million.

Sooooooo, in Franks infinite ******ity he came up with blaming Joshua...for asking for 5 million...for step-aside that Joshua flatly refused for any amount.

*facepalm*

So... Let me understand your logicc here: feel free to correct me if I am wrong, do not want to put words in your proverbial mouth here... Your point is that Frank Warren bid on a fight, got buyer's remorse, and was hoping Joshua would cause the fight not to occur? Is that your point here?

25 million in step asides is a lot of money to have to make before you even pay the fighters and undercard. It's tough to make anything under those circumstances. You'd have to sell a good 750k or more Pay Per Views just to break even .

Joshua should have taken the free money , then a tune up and a mega money fight with Fury. If Usyk beats him again it's going to be very , very costly.

Joshua’s to greedy ,asking for xtra but Businessman Fury demanded 80% to fight Whyte . Moreover what’s it to Fury it’s the Saudis paying him ,Fury ducked Usyk .

He demands 80/20 just coz he can and whyte will be so thankful hes giving free extra ******* to fury..

OTH, joshua cant demand more after losing to usyk and now hes gonna get schooled again in the rematch

BJ fans are hilarious . He offered Wilder 12 million flat for a UNIFICATION fight and his fans said Wilder needed to take it yet AJ with NO BELTS needs at least 20 million to NOT fight and they are like That is FAIR. OKAY !

Lets just get this straight Wilder has had trouble negotiating with him. Whyte has had trouble negotiating with him. Usyk has had trouble negotiating with him and Fury has has trouble negotiating with him. Maybe just maybe it’s AJ. Before it was he is the undefeated CHAMPION and draw. He gets beat. He is still the A side. He fights another UNDEFEATED champion he deserves the most because he is the A side. He loses AGAIN.

HIS FANS HE STILLS DESERVES TO BE THE A SIDE HE IS THE BIGGER DRAW. Well damm

Wilder had "trouble" negotiating with him coz wilder got no plans on fighting him, no matter how big the money is.. lul

Wilder straightup admitted he ducked him for lesser money, what makes you think any larger amt will make wilder fight AJ? Lol

Whyte going to destroy Fury probably batter him right off the bat but who cares he’s going to make these fools pay for the disrespect and posters won’t know what to do with themselves afterward . I figure all the Fury fans on here will stop watching boxing if Hearn ,Joshua and Whyte aren’t the subject and the sole boxer they watch takes a permanent vacation.

Joshua doesn’t demand anything he’s already the money man gets what he wants ,it’ll be Joshua and Whyte for undisputed afterwatdsv,Warren,Arum Fury ,Wilder all these clowns won’t be blocking it anymore .

U right!! I haven't considered that!! So AJ been stuck in rematches dropping to #4. N let's not forget Whyte FINALLY getting that Mando but he's been positioned for this for years now while having a rematch himself, both matchroom fighters delaying the process to get positioned for this **** show. It can easily be povetkin or Usyk vs tyson..but rematches huh. Either one could've nutted up n faced an undefeated wilder..especially AJ.

You’re still talking about rematches, and still ignoring the fact that Fury has been rematching Wilder since 2018 Who’s been delaying the process when the undisputed fight was SIGNED AND DONE last year?

Let’s look at the options.

Did the undisputed fight not happen because:

1) Hearn made the fight in Saudi, AJ signed and they were just waiting for Fury.

or,

2) Was it because Fury made out he wanted the fight, but had actually signed another rematch clause with Wilder, meaning the WBC belt has been held hostage since 2018?


Is your memory particularly bad, because you also seem to have forgotten that Wilder was offered $100m which included 2 AJ fights, but he ‘bet on himself’ instead and got the shît battered out of him by Fury.

Oh, and Fury fought McDermott twice, Chisora twice, and Wilder 3 times.
AJ’s only rematch was with Ruiz.
Whyte has rematched Chisora and Povetkin.

Therefore using simple maths, Fury has had more rematches than both of them.

I understand promoters use rematch clauses but Eddie takes the pl5s.

My point is that it can't all be on Eddie's head. Usyk didn't have to sign it. He was due the shot no matter what. He could have opted for less financially attractive terms without the rematch. Usyk chose to take the better terms bundled with the rematch clause.

[tritium_arma]

Warren isn't wrong about this but he left out the part the reason they asked for more money is because Fury wanted to add a warmup fight at the last minute.
