Comments Thread For: Hearn Rips Tyson Fury: 'Joshua Fought Usyk Back-To-Back, No F---ing Problem, No Long Negotiations'

[Corelone]

So it's OK to **** around in negotiations because he has "merit points"?

Hearn is a clown but Fury is acting a clown too. Don't let your hatred of hearn take the heat off of Furys antics.

I'm not going to let some English guys Mutt and Jeff me, if that's what you mean.

Truth is win or lose AJ has fought the best opposition overall at HW. Usyk has won all his Cruiser/HW belts in other countries. If he’s accepting 30% and it still doesn’t happen Fury simply doesn’t want the fight.
However, I think the fight will be announced soon ..

If Usyk agreed to 70/30, and Fury still doesn't take this fight, he's quite possibly the biggest duck of all time. At a 70/30 split he's almost guaranteed $50million USD. How much money is it going to take to get this guy to fight?

We all know the money is a smoke screen though. The truth is, is that Fury knows he can't beat Usyk.

Which is why Usyk is willing to call his bluff. A 70/30 split is a total slap in the face. 60/40 is reasonable. Especially if the fight is in England where the ref and judges will most likely be in his pocket as well.

They can stack the deck all they want; Fury can't beat Usyk. Just like AJ couldn't. :P

Usyk will take the Fury fight, because the Daniel Dubois is a very tough out for a lot less money, and that’s the mandatory.

Fury is a diva
All he needs is a tiara and wand with sparkles.

Usyk took 20-80 for AJ

he was demanding 50-50 for Fury

Fury generously offered him 30-70 and Usyk was wise to accept.

The term is 'Mutton Jeff.' It's rhyming slang for deaf.

I recall that Joshua explored other possible options, rather than agreeing to fight Usyk straightaway, eventually agreeing to fight his WBO mandatory.

The WBO mandatory, and the whooping in the ring/forced contractual rematch clause aside then Eddie

[Bob]

Oh do shut up Eddie of rematchroom, it took you & your hypejob 11 month's to make an immediate rematch.
Then there's how you kept low balling Wilder in 18 ducking undesputed & even running away from the 50mill flat fee that was offered to instead fight shot old man after shot old man.

Wilder did the same with Aj & Eddie with the 14 mill flat fee, accepting the offer to call they're bluff & sure enough they ran off to fight old man Pov on the same date they said they couldn't fight Wilder.
