Comments Thread For: John Fury Says Usyk 'Not Worthy of 50-50' Split, Tells Him To 'Fall In Line And You Might Get The Fight'

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

I agree with him BUT the fight is too important with too much money to be made now and after. Just get it done you loudmouth.

B side with 4 belts?

Yes.

Example....hopkins vs de la hoya

Make Wilder vs Usyk already in Saudi

Belts don’t sell out stadiums

Fury sold the biggest ever attended boxing event in Europe, and could have sold it 5x over considering the amount that tried to get tickets, I was number 220,000 in the queue on the ticket site when I tried to get some, it was impossible.

Usyk wouldn’t sell a quarter of that stadium without someone like Fury or AJ standing in the opposite corner.

Give Usyk 100 belts and he still isn’t filling a stadium without a bigger name A-side opposite him.

It’s business and Usyk simply doesn’t bring the same money to the table on his own. All he brings is belts that Fury has already won before and he said he doesn’t need them twice.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? Unlike everyone actually involved in the fight, 9-5 toilet scrubbers in an internet comment section have NOTHING to lose.

Boxing is a business. Some idiots can’t seem to understand that. At this day and age it doesn’t matter what belt you have or how many you have. Whoever sells more deserves more money. Usyk needs to learn his role, so does Terrence Crawford. They ain’t sellers

Well, you're right about Fury moving the needle more than Usyk can, unfortunately. But, you're tripping if you think that Spence is more known than Crawford.

haha the furys are scurred , thats clear, this is the talk of scared people, i knew this was on the cards with the delay, usyk was right he looked tyson in the eyes and tyson ran away looking for excuses, now usyk has to show respect and he might get the fight, this is the talk of that diva boxer that has been created, usyk should call these guys out and take 45% and if they wont take that well....... call their bluff i say

The outspoken John Fury recently offered a blustery two cents......
Geez, does John Fury ever offer anything else?

50/50 seems fair to me. For Fury it means unification of belts that will aid casual fans in their confusion.
For Usyk it means an opportunity to fight for the Heavyweight championship of the world, the oldest and most important title in sport.

That (real) heavyweight title is obviously NOT something that you can obtain by beating the contender who won belts by beating the modest likes of Charles Martin, Joseph Parker and the long since dethroned and Retired ex champion Wladamir Klitschko.

Fury should accept the 50/50, train hard, blow away the cruiserweight and be done with it.
Then, he should make more money with a KO of Joshua, toy with Francis Ngannou using MMA gloves and retire.

[Willowthewisp]

Just throw your WBC belt in the trash and be done with it

Where was all this complaint energy with making 3 wilder fights in the 'away' turf?

[Goatintheboat]

Yes but with an undisputed fight who the two guys are is less relevant. It is the fact that all the belts are on the line that is key selling point of the fight.
