Comments Thread For: Report: Fury-Usyk Targeted For February, Super Bowl Weekend, In Middle East; 50-50 Purse Split 'Is A Given'

Really like Usyk , but Fury is the A-side on this one as far as promoting and getting the people to pay.70-30...the question always is who are the people paying to see?

If it’s in the Middle East putting it on Super Bowl weekend it is irrelevant.

awesome can't wait

Hopefully the contracts are written up and signed shortly, may the best man win.

It will be sad if this is anounced earlier than Spence vs Crawford. Usky vs Tyson is a much bigger fight worldwide.

I hope fights in the Middle East don’t become a regular occurrence and is just a Eddie Hearn thing. Usyk vs Joshua 2 felt like it was during semi open pandemic time compared to other Joshua fights.

Fury isn’t and shouldn’t be giving Usyk 50/50. And I don’t t think it’ll happen in the Middle East. Fury said that last night.

These big fights should be accessible to the real fans and not the Middle East , we all get the money but this is a bad turn for our sport!

Usyk has more belts, and Fury can't get much without Usyk.

That’s an interesting idea holding it that weekend. With the time difference I wonder if it would be the day of the Super Bowl. Lots of people getting together for Super Bowl parties. Lots of potential impulse PPV customers.
