Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter Responds to Fury's Demands: This Is Sports; Go to Hollywood If You Want That Kind of Money

[Nash out]

I guarantee that Fury hasn't given a single penny to charity his entire life lol

I agree. Fury is a tremendous boxer and a great personality, but he is, and always has chased more and more money for himself, like most people, but the charity thing, I think he shouldn't have brought that up, as once he dug that hole, he had to go through with it, but did he hell. Lmao. Even Eddie "Earn with Hearn" is always giving him stick for it. Nash out

The funny thing is Fury will go to Hollywood!

Fury can fight literally ANYONE and make the same or MORE money than Usyk

UNLESS the Saudi's are involved

Usyk & his team keep trying to bluff Fury and he hasn't made a peep! totally rattled them. I wouldn't be surprised if Warren is offering Usyk 70:30 not the 60:40 we've heard.

Usyk has no OPTIONS FURY DOES!

Usyk also wants to retire....now basically. Fury wants to keep fighting.

It’s 50/50. Fury already ruined one undisputed fight when he pulled out of the AJ fight because he somehow forgot he’d signed to rematch Wilder yet again (and there was so much money involved with that AJ fight in Saudi that they could have just paid Wilder to wait and fight the winner). If this fight doesn’t happen over money then it’s a Fury duck I’m afraid.

And that’s the thing with Fury. He’s either up for it, like the Wilder fights, or he can’t be bothered and he’d rather fight bums most of the time. If he’s not up for it the fight doesn’t happen.

Could Usyk make money fighting Filip Hrgovic? Tyson Fury can! That's the difference!

If we accept it on a 'because you said so' basis, then yes. If we use the rules of actual real-life evidence, then no. Which Fury-Hrgovic fight are you basing it on? The original fight or the rematch?

In a lot of unifications, the bigger financial draw is often entitled to a bigger split.

This is not one of those times - they both have massive leverage over one another.

Fury needs those belts - if he beats Usyk, Fury-Joshua in an all-English undisputed heavyweight title fight would be the richest fight in the history of the sport. Ever.

Usyk Joyce? They'll bore everyone to death in the press conf. And no it won't sell anywhere close to a Fury fight

No one is saying it will sell as well as a Fury fight. Obviously. The question being tested was: does Usyk have any other options besides Fury. Joyce or Wilder would still generate lots of money. No, not as match as the undisputed fight, because they aren't for undisputed... But they would do well enough to put lie to the suggestion that Usyk has no other options.

Fury is the draw and should get the bigger slice of the pie if they fight in England. Anywhere else, then they gotta find a way to hash it out. Usyk, as great as he is, really isn't a draw anywhere like that despite having 3 belts. Somebody at some point is gonna hafta give in a bit if this is to happen bc there is too much money and history on the line here for this not to happen.

My take is that it should be a 50/50 split. Usyk is a three-belt champion and Fury a one belt champion, so Usyk has more to risk. Both fighters will make many millions each from a 50/50 split, so why should Fury get greedy. It's my belief that Fury sees this fight as a very possible loss and that is his real reason for quibbling over the purse split.

45/45 winner gets the remaining 10

That truly makes it a prize fight, with first place getting the blue ribbon.

This fight will probably not happen.

I guess Fury fights Ngannou next, or hopefully Joyce.

Usyk will probably drop some belts and fight Wilder next if he wants a big money fight.

If Fury doesn't fight Usyk, it will be Wilder again. This has been reported in the news and Wilder's people say that Wilder might possibly not fight Ruiz next but a "Mystery man". That fight, odd as it seems would do very well at Wembley. On the other hand Usyk might be the Mtstery man, one of the two for sure if he doesn't fight Ruiz next.

Joyce has a fight. Wilder is not fighting Usyk. The point is if no Fury then Usyks options are only mandatories Dubois or Hrgovic . That is the point. Neither of those make close to Fury fight money
