    That's not what I mean. Fury and his team are pretty lazy or slow. I wouldn't be surprised if they're putting it off or reviewing it.
    If that is the case and the fight does happen on April 29th then Usyk and his team were just being babies.
    If it doesn't happen then Fury is a coward and Usyk's team was right.

    I'm just waiting for the reliable crap to come before claiming one was right. Same way I wait until a fight officially happens before getting excited about it.

      It's looking like negotiating through the media can now be a legit way to say "We did everything in our power to make the fight happen."

        .
        What a terrible way to do business if thats what it is and fury finally gets his act together, nobody can confirm anything about the fight without an agreement signed, everybody is in limbo waiting, thats just diva stuff right there, or scared

            Usyk agreed to all of Fury's demands, including a big cut in his purse split. That is doing everything in your power to make the fight happen.

              I'm not dis*****g that because Fury's team is lazy. There's a reason Fury's fights moved quickly with Top Rank.

                if fury does eventually agree april i would say he is in training for the fight and just trying to put usyk off in some way, could be completely wrong about this, dont think it would work against usyk anyway, looking at the situation i would be surprised if april goes ahead, but this is fury we are looking at, who knows really

                  nah that’s also a false narrative. Usyk saying April 29th or 50/50 again giving Tyson an ultimatum. The “b” side doesn’t make ultimatums and set terms and try calling all these shots like usyk and his team are. They are playing up the Ukrainian sympathy angle so much it’s literally disrespectful to the people of Ukraine. If they really “did whatever it took” they would have negotiated behind closed doors. I gaurantee they would have got more than 30% too.

                    WTF?!

                    It was Fury who started negotiating in the media by posting on Instagram telling Usyk that he had to accept a 30/70 purse split, or no fight. All Usyk did was respond to that ultimatum and accept the deal that Fury offered him.

                    So what are you saying ... that because Fury is the A side he doesn't have to stick to the terms of his own offer? GTFOH!

                      b .. b ... but ...why did he wait for Fury to offer him 30% before he accepted it?

                      He's the B side, so why didn't he tell Fury ... "I'm not worth 50/50, gimme 30/70" weeks ago?
