Comments Thread For: WBA Prez: Fury-Usyk Reach Tentative Deal, Ask For Time To Work On Contracts

[Nash out]

Still doesn’t mean much

Usyk accepted the offer but only if Fury donates a million to Ukraine

that’s not exactly accepting the offer that Fury put on the table

We all know that Fury loves to donate money. This won't be a stumbling block here. Fury will probably double it. Nash out

Boxing is based on selling. Whoever sells more deserves more money. Not who holds more belts, just like Devin Haney has all the belts at lightweight but he sells nothing. Usyk has most belts at heavyweight but sells nothing. Boxing is a business

Where’s all the wilder nuthuggers from the last thread who claimed fury was too scared and this fight would never happen? Happily go back into obscurity.

Even though the two Ukrainian boys will be underdogs in their fights, I would like to see both of them pull it off and become undisputed.

Same. Real fighting men unlike Fury. Haney is cool though.

Should have been 60/40. Fury was playing games.

He wouldn’t though

His team offered Joe Joyce 7%

Remember he never accepted the first offers for the AJ fight and he was making videos saying “more money Eddie”

Don’t get it twisted, he’s in the business of making money too. He knows the reality is 30% v Fury is still a LOT more than he can make as the A-side v Dubois or something. and the truth is Fury knows they know that too, that’s why he held out for a bigger percentage.

Fury is a cunning guy, he knows Usyk and his team still want to make the most money. so he can get 30% and still get big money or he can fight Dubois for a few million. Boxing careers can end at any moment, so they’ll go for the bigger money when it comes down to it.

lets be real, Fury isn’t the first one to use leverage to take much bigger/unfair splits and won’t be the last.

It’s tedious watching it play out as a boxing fan, but fighters have been doing it for years

Oh that's true and Fury picked the right guy. I still have to respect Usyk for his willingness. And Joe Joyce? He already beat him. And Joyce will lose to anybody with a punch. The guy inhales every punch that's thrown. A guy in the back row could punch the air. Joyce would run back and eat it.

I’ll believe it when they step into the ring.

Rooting for Usyk. I don’t dislike Fury, but this back and forth from him quacks hard.

Tyson Fury does an incredible job of promoting his fights. I find it hilarious to watch people call him names and get angry and whine for hours.

This has all been promotion. Now Fury has a million people hoping he gets beat. Usyk had almost assuredly accepted 30% earlier, and this is a way for them to make it news. Brilliant.

And to those hoping Fury gets beat. I love Usyk. He couldn't drop chinny Joshua, he ain't dropping Fury. And it is very unlikely that he is going to outbox a guy who boxes incredibly well and is also 6 inches taller than him with a big reach advantage and 60 pounds on him.

Usyk could pull off the miracle. But I am pretty sure he will get beat up and possibly stopped. And Fury will make 60 million and unify all the belts at HW.

I'm glad. One champ!
