    Well He had Andy Ruiz and couldn’t explode him or get him huge fights and make him known. The biggest fight he got him was Joseph Parker at Parker hometown. Al Haymon came and exploded Ruiz and made him world champion and world known. Arum had Terrence Crawford and nobody even knew who Crawford was outside of boxing. The list goes in and on, that’s why De la Hoya, Mayweather, etc leave him.
    Haymon had nothing whatsoever to do with Andy Ruiz getting his title shot vs AJ.

    Eddie Hearn was desperate to find a new opponent for AJ's US debut after Big Pharma Millar failed a PED test. Hearn sent an offer to Andy Ruiz himself and Andy showed Hearn's offer to Haymon and told him .. "Al, I want this fight. "

    This was widely reported at the time.

      60/40 Fury if it's in the UK.
      Usyk got huge purses for his last 2 fights against AJ, possibly more for the rematch than Tyson has ever earned for any single fight.

      If the fight is in the UK he will be putting his 3 world title belts on the line and giving Fury home advantage. This is a 50/50 fight, wherever it happens.

        Well, as Bread said Usyk usually fights the fights he wants to fight, and makes them happen. It would be strange for this fight to break down because of money. Fury may be the modern Ali, but Usyk is the modern Holyfield. Both already legends.

          Don't get your panties in a twist. You act like I was making a comment about a great sports athlete and boxer instead of the big rolly polly goofy-azz lumox that fury really is. In other words calm yo ignorant azz down, before I cut into yo psyche you imbecile.

He's the Muhammad Ali of our time! Usyk should be cool with 40%, because that 40% fighting Fury, is more than 65% fighting anyone else.
                Usyk earned $30million+ in his last fight against AJ. Some estimates put his cut as high as $75million. He has decisively beaten one of the biggest names in combat sport twice and earned massive respect from fans all over the world for the way he handled himself before and after those 2 fights, as well as for his performances in the ring. The days when people could say, "nobody knows who Usyk is" are over.

                  Fury should be lucky to get 50.
                  He only has 1 belt.

                    Thats a fact.

                    But Fury's not de la hoya A side level
