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'

B--CH azz cowards lol I knew fury is scared to fight Heavy Weight King. He can fight Chisora then for the 7th time. Usyk gona be alright

Ahhhhhh, but, Chisora, soft touch though he may be; is the only meaningful win at Heavyweight that Usyk ever won, and he won barely. Well, except for two nods over Joshua of course; but pretty much everyone beats him nowadays. Fury is the man who beat the man and that's the only heavyweight title in Fightsport that is of any value at all (Ask Francis Ngannou who just tossed the UFC strap in the bust bin).

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.

The WBA title, held by Usyk, is the oldest boxing title.

Which is the most important? Depends who you ask.

If Fury and his dad thought that blowing away the cruiserweight would be easy work they wouldn't be arguing about the money.

We should compare Usyk’s and Fury's results against Chisora before going off on a whimsical tangent, No?

Usyk vs Chisora sold more PPVs in the UK than Fury vs Chisora 3

Yes.

Example....hopkins vs de la hoya

If you think Tyson fury is as big of a star as Oscar was at that time you need to find another sport to watch kid.

Usyk accepted 20-80 split for the first AJ fight. He only got 50-50 in the rematch because he had all of AJ's belts.

He doesnt have Fury's belts and he doesnt have fury's fanbase.

He needs to be realistic 40-60 here. That is double the split of his first AJ fight. But hes being greedy, he now wants more than double.

Usyk was entitled to 25% for the first AJ fight because it was a WBO mandatory defence. And he agreed to a rematch clause, so he obviously would have got more 25%

And it makes no sense to talk about how much he got paid before he won any world titles at HW. You might as well say that Fury should be happy with $4million because that's what he got when he fought Klitschko for the WBA, WBO and IBF titles.

Having 3 of 4 belts at a weightclass is not worthy John? Are you really that much of a simpleton.

Unfortunately there's more action outside the ring these days!
Imagine 'the thriller on twitter'
a boxer caller 'media mauler' ....
all very sad!

John Fury is telling the world that Ukrainians aren't equal to the rest of Europe. Ukrainians will never get 50/50. They will always have to settle for the short end of the stick.

This is what proud English gypsy John Fury told the world. Zelenskyy won't like the sound of that.

50/50 for Usyk!

I disagree.

Fury needs to Usyks belts if he’s going to fight AJ for undisputed and make the biggest, richest fight in boxing history happen.

They both have leverage over each other. 50-50 is appropriate here.

usyks manager egis (good current name) & frank warren need to pimp their guys out better like hearn does AJ
