Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Offers Anthony Joshua 60-40 Purse Split

What did I say many times before UsykJoshua rematch? I said Fury could bypass undisputed & go for the big payday defending against Joshua… here we are just as I said. The Usyk fight will still happen only if Fury gets by Joshua… I’m 90-10 Fury wins but just like Ali losing to Joe Frazier but besting Foreman while Foreman destroyed Frazier twice I believe. Just because Usyk beat Joshua doesn’t mean Fury will 100% do the same…

Nice to see Fury make a generous offer
We all know what’s up though , this will be his swan song
Big money and big exposure

Why is 60-40 fair? I would’ve expected 50-50.

Probably because one of them is a world champ, and the other is a domestic bodybuilder with 3L’s in his last 5 fights.

How will AJ handle all the verbal insults during the press conferences?

We're finally gonna see him completely snap and throw a table like Chisora did.

I don't think Joshua needs the fight to be honest, apart from the WBC belt what exactly is Fury offering Joshua? Nothing.

Joshua and his team can still make many many big fights, his journey from this point on wards is still going to interests people.

This is actually the most captivating time in Joshua's career. Because we are truly venturing into the unknown, as a contender 'No longer Champion'.

I do like the way in boxing titles and belts have prestige.

But if we keep this on he real? People just want to see fights, match ups, competition.

Joshua vs Wilder, Joshua vs Ruiz Junior, Joshua vs Joyce, Joshua vs Joe Bloggs, Joshua vs Charlie Brown 'They are all big fights, it does not matter'.

Me personally, if Joshua is really game for it 'I think he should take the fight'.

But if he is still not quite right, and is suffering from the Usyk fall out? Then he should just carry on doing his own thing. There is a opportunistic reason as to why Fury has thrown this offer towards Anthony Joshua right about now.

Tyson Fury even before Joshua fought Usyk, would of been favorite to beat Joshua. But maybe now Fury senses Joshua could still be shook from his recent loss, so therefore he is jumping at Joshua now.

I don't really think Joshua should be shook, because there are positives to take from his fights with Usyk. He has just had two high level fights, with one of boxing pound for pound best fighters 'And he improved, hung in there and endured against whatever Usyk threw his way' Joshua did not win, but he did achieve all those points.

Skill for skill Joshua vs Usyk was also a higher level fight than Fury vs Wilder etc.

Because Fury wouldn’t get close to the numbers he’d get with Joshua? Joshua has done over 1.5 mil buys 3 times. This fight could hit 2mil easily. Who can Fury get close to that number with besides Joshua? Loss or no loss, the guy is a massive name.

Cope harder hater! Lil pathetic body builder Joshua is 2-4 in his last 6 fights. Dudes not even close to be deserving of 40% at this stage of his career, let alone 50%. Cope harder? Cope!!!

[Duran1333]

It has to be utterly pathetic and cowardly to be a Joshua fan at this fight, what a complete and utter joke of a fighter! Fury smokes him, but Joshua should take the deal regardless. Not like he’s ever going to be anything other than a glorified body builder with ****tt footwork, and horrible balance, anyways!

60-40 is a very generous offer from the Gypsy King. Especially for a guy who has lost 3 out of his last 5.

Since Usyk is ducking that smoke for December this is a nice consolation prize for the fans.

Usyk is the one who is bypassing the fight in December.

Fury doesn't want to sit around until next year so this AJ fight is coming at the perfect time.
