If Fury ducks Usyk and fights Wilder again i'm DONE with him

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Warren should keep his word if he said that..

But promoters lie and greed comes into play, that’s why I posted what I did in my last post, that Fury and his team will feel they have an upper hand financially if the fight is in the UK and there’s no way they’re not going to try to use that to get more money in this fight

Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s irrelevant. It’s peoples jobs to negotiate fights, and that’s what they’re doing now.

As a fan, I’d say split it down the middle and get in the ring, but I’m not the one with a promotional business investing millions into the fight.

The 50/50 was based on the fight being held in Saudi. In the UK I expect Fury to get slightly more.

I hope you're right, but remember that Malik Scott was talking about a 'mystery opponent' a couple of weeks ago...

No chance in hell it’ll be Wilder mate.

It might not be Usyk sadly though and it’s on Fury if that fight falls through.

Not sure why Fury couldn’t agree a deal with the Saudi’s. That’s what prevented it from getting agreed weeks ago as Usyk had sorted out his end of the deal.

For it to happen over here both fighters are going to have to take a pay cut, they’d still earn crazy money, but I’m not too optimistic they’ll be willing to.

Just give Usyk 50/50 and make the fucking fight.

Fury beats any HW imo, but this Floyd Mayweather playbook he appears to be following is pissing me off.

Mayweather playbook?

Floyd never fought the same person 4 times, let alone 3

How many champions has Fury fought in a row??

IDK... I rather like the sound of Fury vs 50 Youtubers.

We'll know when we know. Fingers Xd it comes together but it's boxing and we seen this bullchit happen 100 times before. I barely even get pissed off with it any more just enjoy the good fights that do come along.

I thought the Saudi thing fell through because it was meant to be in new stadium in Jeddah and now the Saudis can’t confirm when the stadium will be finished, especially with Ramadan coming up, which left all parties were not wanting to wait around for some vague date. That’s why they booked Wembley

considering the money available in Saudi, I think they would still be pushing to get the fight there if it was possible. So it seems like it’s off the table for whatever reason, but I did hear is was down to them not being able to give a concrete date, not because of anyone’s deal.

But that could mean this fight isn’t next. Maybe they think the Usyk fight should still happen in the Middle East, so are willing to push it back until this stadium is done and fight someone else in meantime. I really hope not.

This fight needs to happen next, I’ve no interest in seeing them fight anyone but each other.

Fury is calling the shots. He fights who he wants.

Nah. Fury is a boxer and he's too dumb to be a businessman.

I mean all the messing around with negotiations and all the A side B side stuff.

I'm convinced that this fight won't happen now. Fury won't do 50/50 in a million years and Usyk and his team are too proud to have their pants pulled down.

Not so. That Frank Warren quote I linked is from August 2022, before the Saudis or anybody else had even bid for the fight. I remember listening to an interview with Warren around that time, maybe the same interview that quote came from. What he said was that the date and location hadn't been set, but the most important part of any negotiations, which was the money, had already been settled, with both men agreeing to a 50/50 split.

I looked at some of the comments in that twitter thread, btw. A lot of jokers talking crap about how quick and easy it is to make an undisputed HW title fight when Eddie Hearn isn't involved.

What do you think about that, mate? They've only been negotiating 7 months and they're already expecting an important announcement in the next few days ... maybe, fingers crossed ...

At least Robbie Barrett had the decency to quit NSB when his hero got exposed, Juggernutter still posts on here like he's some boxing guru

There was a guy who was an even bigger Joshua stan. He always called him "Josh" like they were best mates. He literally stopped posting here completely unlike Robbie. That or maybe he just got banned. I can't even remember his username but he was a massive tool. Had a Mike Ehrmantraut/Jonothan Banks avatar if I recall correctly. Wait I remember now it was ****'Em or something like that

Fury - Joyce would be a great fight. But I guess that means it won`t happen.

Joyce and Joshua should be the only acceptable choice for Fury, if he doesn`t fight Usyk.

I'm with the OP. it's got to be Usyk next, or to hell with Fury. He says he doesn't care about money, that he's fighting for the fans, etc, time to prove it. Like Frank Warren said in his interview today, Fury vs Usyk is the fight that everybody, everybody wants to see. Let's hope the Gypsy King doesn't let us down.
