    Both teams

    Fury said lets do it without the rematch, Usyk's team said no

    Fury's team offered them the rematch with the same split Usyk got for the AJ rematch...Usyk's team said no.

    That's basically the sticking point confirmed by both sides

    Usyk wants two paydays out of it

I guarantee you he goes in to damage control to try to protect his str8 shooter image. Especially since most blame him for the fight falling thru
      Fury knows his hardcore fans, will agree with his actions 'Even if on principle deep down they disagree with him'.

      His fans are fanatical, and will betray their own values to align with Fury 'I sense they behave this way to protect him'.

      They know that Fury is the major factor as to why this fight deal has not been made 'But very few will admit it'.

      Tyson Fury does not care what his fans or the public think about him, as much as people would expect 'And I personally don't think this is a bad trait'.

      I believe Fury has always much preferred being the underdog, and he excels in a hostile environment.

      Fury for the most part of his career has been a villain, he has played the heel 'Anyone who has truly followed his career from the start will know this'.

      Tyson Fury in this match up vs Usyk, for me he deliberately made himself the heel 'And it has added depth and a greater meaning to the fight, beyond the Undisputed titles'.

      This fight between Tyson Fury & Usyk, is a bigger fight now than it was last year.

      Last year this fight was just a fight for the Undisputed titles, which is still awesome 'But now the fight for me has a story and theme beyond the titles'.

        Just saw that this morning. Well I do at least agree a 70/30 split for the rematch makes no sense. A 50/50 split is fair. Although I don't agree with the 70/30 split for the first fight. Some culpability is on Usyk for that rematch demand. But hopefully they can still make this fight happen.

          Everyone saying fury holding it up? I don't know who is. All I know is usy k agreed to 30%, so only reason fight is being held up is usy k has backtracked and now wants 35% at least? Other than that it fury don't want rematch clause

            If you look online, everywhere all the comments are stating fury is ducking, and I’ve seen so many fury fans say they can’t support fury anymore if he doesn’t take the Usyk fight.

            He will get disowned by 95% of boxing fans all because he wanted a little bit more money
            NO! not really. To me he needed 2 guys to complete his legacy. One was Wilder and the other was AJ.
            AJ got whipped buy far weaker fighters not once nut 3 TIMES. As far as I'm concerned he has nothing to prove. He wins “whose the best” contest. He should just retire. He doesn't need the money no more but I think he wont and will fight till he's beaten to a pulp and forced out. Sad

              Fury never cared about legacy. He is the guy that would beat all Wallin`s and Chisora`s he can find, claiming that makes him being the best.

                Coppinger said they want 70/30. Also it was obvious from when Fury said no rematch clause. Usyks team amd everyone made it a big deal like fury duckin. When reallly it should have been no rematch? Even bettetr ets get it on. But no they didn't say that not once have Usyks team since said we are ok with no rematch

                  I don't think I've ever seen such nitpicking. Jeez. Just. Fight.

                    No rematch might be ok... No rematch and 30% of the split is crazy.

                    Usyk is a three belt world champion!

                    Some people need to wake up. No-one of us really know how this has gone down, but if it's what has been reported then Fury is **** to rights here.
