I won't even reply to your ******ity...

You won't reply because facts have slapped you on your face.

Fury must stop this 'I'll fight for free ' and then demand the lions share , that is un-defendable rubbish .Like all fans I'm sick of these business politics , it' was only last December that Fury v Joshua was put on ice for one of the reasons being that Joshua's high paying sponsors didn't agree with it , among one of the vague reasons for it not to take place The other that it was a bad time for Joshua .The dreaded rematch clause (which should be banned!!) seems responsible for the latest cancellation as all other matters from both have been resolved. So a fight somewhere down the line , the so called 'rematch clause' has put the brakes on a unified Heavyweight title fight because some promoter and boxer wants it guaranteed they get paid twice ......that's the sad reality!

All you do is talk politics on here if Furys the topic and include Hearn or Joshua in it . You were dead wrong again about this fight and did everything in your power to convince yourself it wasn’t Furys fault from the get go trying to justify every action he did which indicated he didn’t really want this fight but you don’t actually know much about boxing because Hearn lives in your head which is up Furys ass 24/7 on here .

“Truth is 30% is about right and makes Usyk around £20m ..apparently , Uysk is not ****** and knows this is not Saudi Arabia , it's England Wembley Stadium and Fury is the draw . Fury's just made around £8m by not accepting parity .Thankfully it wasn't silly Eddie Hearn (who been shouting all over the place for him to accept parity) doing his business.”

Sadly Hearn admitted y'all pulled out of the fight because you weren't mentally ready after getting dominated by Usyk.

I'm pretty sure the reason why Fury was denying Usyk a rematch clause was because he wanted to get a bigger paycheck with Fury vs AJ.

Another possibility is that Fury isn't all that confident that he would win against Usyk.

AJ should fight someone who can't punch and has a glass jaw.

[OldTerry]

Wilder doesn't enhance anyone's resume at this point

Maybe or maybe not, but a Wilder fight against either AJ or Usyk would make a lot of money for everyone concerned, so business wise it makes sense. While I believe a Wilder-Usyk fight can be made, I don't believe AJ wants any part of Wilder out of fear of losing badly by knockout.

[OldTerry]

The theory is always... why would Fury do what fight fans want when he could instead fight [Big name 1], [Big name 2], [Big name 3] in 12 months and then retire as the best ever?

Look at Fury's history. Tell me that's a guy who is ever going to go from one big fight to the next.

2018 Fought Wilder in an accelerated comeback
2019 turned down ordered rematch with 40% split to fight Schwarz and Wallin
2020 Fought Wilder... spent the next 18 months talking about big fights and trying to swerve the rematch
2021 Forced to finally fight Wilder after 20 months
2022 Mandated fight against Whyte after petitioning the WBC for more money. Then loads of talk about big fights again before fighting Chisora, who we already knew he was negotiating with!

History tells you everything you need to know. He's not going to suddenly fight back to back fights against Usyk and Joshua.

Say what you like about him, but he's pretty consistent in what he does. He might say the opposite but you're not supposed to actually believe him!

My money is on Ngannou for his next fight. Then protracted negotiations over a mandatory. Possibly Ruiz or Wilder. Odds on he retires again. And through all of that he'll talk about Usyk, Joyce, Joshua, Wilder, Ruiz and say he doesn't care who he fights as he would beat them all.

It's what he's always done.

Great analysis. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a DUCK, anyway you look at it.

Not really considering Fury gave him the rematch and then Usyk got mad when Fury allegedly stated he would still be the A side in the rematch.

If Fury wasn't confident in beating Usyk why would he want zero rematch clauses, win or lose? Also if he wasn't confident he wouldn't have given Usyk the requested rematch.

Then there's also the fact the fight would have happened in a couple weeks. Fury's team said that's enough time, Usyk on the other hand decided to abandon the fight for no reason.
It says more about Usyk than Fury.

What a lot of ****e. He's agreed to the 70-30 purse split, which was the biggest hurdle. That on its own should have been enough to get the fight done. Fury has the lions share of the money and home advantage, and yet they still can't get it made. At the very least he should have made some concessions in good faith to get the fight done.

Can you not read? Usyk made more demands after accepting the 70/30 split.

I still believe what I stated is the case. Why else would Fury demand a rematch clause where he still gets a 70/30 split? He's doing everything he can to prevent the fight.
