Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter Says Fury Rejected Proposal of 60/40 Split With Winner Taking 60

[Jab jab boom]

For all the winner take all or winner gets the bigger cut proposals we’ve seen over the years, has anyone ever had that stipulation officially included in a contract? I can’t remember 1 time it’s actually happened.

He's already getting the lion's share. Are you mental? Stop making excuses for him. Usyk was undisputed at cruiserweight and now holds 3 of 4 world titles at heavyweight. He deserves 40%.

I'm fine with 40% for Usyk. The proposal here is isn't fixed though, it's variable which I'm not fine with. If Usyk wins he doesn't deserve 60% imo, he deserves 40%. Fury is the attraction, he's the star of the show, and with the better record. Suggesting this derranged proposition is just finding a way to make the other side mad. Making the other side mad and creating impasse, just shows you don't want it.

40% for usyk is 2x the biggest payday of his career with bigger paydays otw if he wins. Asking for more money is essentially pricing himself out of the fight as no one really cares to see usyk fight anyone other than fury he already lost to chisora. On the other hand if usyk wins he’s essentially a made man 60/40 in his favour for the rematch maybe more

Usyk should be more then happy with 40%

Yeah, let's be real, Fury's not as confident as he makes himself out to be.

I'm starting to believe that he's the common denominator behind fights that don't happen.

We never got Klitschko II

We never got Joshua

We never got Usyk

Now, I'll give him credit for fighting Wilder, but he had no choice but to fight Wilder because Wilder held all the cards and Fury was desperate for some cash & an opportunity.

Once he saw that he could outbox Wilder, he was happy to take on 2 more paydays against him.

Now, I have no doubt that he's the best HW in the division, but he needs to be about what he says he is.

Fury is getting owned by a ''MW'' without a punch being thrown

He wasn’t exactly happy to take the Wilder paydays. He tried to get out of the third fight and he was close to being stopped in that fight. He knows he is vulnerable, we saw that against Wallin too who has no power but still has some technical skill. And Usyk has much more.

For a large part Fury is quite unproven. He has Wlad and Wilder. We still don’t know if Wlad had a bad night that night bcs the rematch never happened. Wilder has not proven himself either as his best wins are Oldtiz and Hasbeenius.

It sure looks like Fury don’t want that middleweight smoke.

"Winner takes 60%," No Bueno! Winner becomes "Undisputed!" That should be Usyk's only concern! Just take the 40% without strings! Team Usyk is overthinking this!

Of course they are. Fury should be getting 60% anyway. There is no upside to that offer for Fury, only downside - and as Sicko pointed out - you just need some bad or corrupt judging and you lose multiple millions

[BodyBagz]

Fury vs Whyte 2 ( )
Usyk vs Ruiz

The winners MUST fight each other or be stripped

[Tonyu]

I always had a gut feeling Fury was causing the delay. All ths talk about happy to be in a council house, giving his purse away to the homeless etc is just bs. Fury is becoming a laughing stock and frankly the sooner him and Joshua retire the better, they are holding the division up by fighting once or twice a year anf insisting on these rematch clauses. Warren is representing both Fury snd Joyce and he keeps delaying Joyces title shot.
