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

[Oregonian]

Fury doesn't want any part of Usyk! He will remain retired, at least for a while

Wilder will win the vacant WBC (possibly against Helenius) then beat Usyk by knockout!

End of story

Yep! Fury is scared of a guy 6 inches shorter than him.

Why is it a 50/50 split ?
Usyk has little to gain if (WHEN) he wins.

Not too fond of bodybuilders either.
Would only fight AJ if there was no money involved

lots of americans overseas filling bars to watch the superbowl. don't know any others beside canada that watch gridiron. no one in australia watches it.

Many people in the UK don't really care about the Superbowl. More an American thing. Boxing still gets interest especially when it comes to a Brit fighting at the top.

The fight actually happening in a timely fashion would be great, but please not in the middle east ffs. The crowds are dead and neither fighter is from there. If its going to take place in a neutral market then do it in Vegas, NYC or Cali.

Fury needs an interim fight of some kind - too much inactivity when confronted with Usyk's hyper-frenetic style

Lol
Oldskoolg is happy to spend all his retirement days trolling and Hating Hearn
Thing is Eddie Hearn doesn't even who this guy is"
Heh

He actually does. Eddie Hills kept a logbook of all his sales of second hand cars in his early 20s, though ofc, he had to pretend he didn’t know who his customers were way back when in case they returned to ask him why their exhaust was leaking or why their engine housed several families of shrews

Geezus. The way you hate the guy I wouldn't doubt he personally went to your home and slapped your mother.

It's truly pathetic to have so much emotion invested in somebody who he's likely never met, never will meet and couldn't give a shit about him.

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?

well, they're not seeing anyone if fights don't get made - so there is that to consider. Fury says he wants 500 million and at 50% thats a 1 billion fight - I don't think even the Saudis are that spendthrift - so lets wait
