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

[elfag]

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

AJ is 2-3 over the last 3 years. His only wins in those 3 years are a geriatric Pulev and an obese Ruiz

This is quite a good curve ball by Tyson Fury to be honest. I have been pondering and thinking about this match up since the offer.

I am amused the way, nobody really knows what Tyson Fury is up to. Pundits, boxing experts you name it.

Very engrossing situation. I don't even think the fight is right for Fury, it kind of goes against his record 'You would expect him to go for the biggest perceived challenge in Usyk'.

If the Kiltschko's champion reign was one of complete control and dominance.

Tyson Fury's reign is one of unpredictability, and chaos.

I think Fury is serious, but as I have stated before? There is opportunistic reason why Fury has jumped at Joshua now.

If Joshua is game, I think he should take the fight.

60/40 is absolutely fair. Lets get this fight made.

Fury is in no position to offer anything, especially with his low ratings.

He just did 94000 in UK against Whyte… where the *** you been?

[joe strong]

Joshua should still be the A side despite getting his ass kicked by Usyk. Fury can't even fill small venues without Wilder or Joshua.

94000 in Uk against Whyte… before you shoot yer mouth off make sure yer brains are loaded…

We'll see what the excuse is for the fight not happening, when Joshua accepts.

[joe strong]

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.

I have stated that a bunch of times but i said well before there fight Joshua losing the rematch we could still see Fury going that route before Usyk due to the money. If anyone thinks Fury cares about glory is obviously delusional. Joshua with 3 losses still generates way more money than an undisputed with Usyk. The Usyk fight will still happen if he beats Joshua but say he doesn’t thrn Usyk will retire & all 3 belts vacant & winner of Ruiz vs Wilder/Helenius is the mandatory for the WBC belt. So we could get Wilder/Joshua, Ruiz/AJ 3 or a hightly unlikely AJ vs Helenius… Fury must beat AJ because Usyk said he would retire if no Fury but then again we could get Usyk/AJ 3 for undisputed if the bodies don’t start stripping…The HW title picture is getting crazy with all the angles that could happen if say Fury were to lose to Joshua… I’m 90/10 sure it doesn’t though…

If this is legit, and I am AJ, I take this fight/deal. Train my ass off, and hit Fury with everything I got like I have nothing else to lose (because I dont) and hope for the best. The upside is immense, immediate redemption and a huge chunk of money. The downside.... a huge chunk of money and I lost to what most consider the best heavyweight in the world, but better that than another Ruiz, or worse a journeyman.

Love to see the fight happen and 60/40 is very fair, however if Fury was really serious they would be offering it to Joshua from mid December not November they know full well he won't be ready for a fight of this magnitude without a reasonable time to prepare. I like Fury and hope he keeps on top, but his endless stream of bs does get tired after a while I just wish he would talk straight sometimes. There is no reason in the world this fight isn't made in December and no chance of it happening in November.

What happened to only fighting aj if all money went to charity? This guy fury is so full of ****
