Comments Thread For: Fury Blasts 'Coward' Usyk After Negotiations Fail, Tells Him to Fight Dubois for a 'Couple o' Bucks'

[Citizen Koba]

Ahhhh ok! I misunderstood as I thought it was 50/50 win or lose. Regardless Fury seems pretty upset that he had to give a rematch to Usyk at all. Oh course that is if Usyk was the one who actually demanded the rematch. Say what you want about Fury but if it was Usyk then I think Fury offered 70/30 & was cool with one & done. I have a strange feeling Fury was Joshua’s biggest cheer leader during the Joshua/Usyk rematch. He was thinking all British undisputed fight. He could be more annoyed than scared. I really think he is looking past Usyk. He isn’t the least bit worried about him. He sees greener pastures ahead. Tyson has that Lennox Lewis arrogance & that got Lennox beat twice by opponents he took lightly.

Krasyuk says it was team Fury that originally stipulated the rematch and I've yet to hear a denial from Fish-eyes or Fury although he contrives to suggest it in his rants without actually making a flat denial. I think what maybe happened was that a rematch clause was being included in the original negotiations but when Usyk called Fury's bluff on 70/30 Fury then wanted to remove the rematch clause

Krassyuk said Fury wanted 80/20 if he won.

Correct. I made a mistake there. I also believe Krassyuk.

You're thanking tank with the conditions he put on Garcia? No, he can f3ck himself as he's one of the biggest cowards out there.

Teo is only taking on Taylor as he's been out far too long, coming from a lopsided loss and struggling to make weight. Don't thank him either. They're full blown b1tches of the worst kind. Won't fight unless the usual conditions are at play in their favour. Anyone with substance who's ready to go, they put on their running shoes. I hope both get violated and knocked out cold.

I'm thanking Tank because he's giving us a good fight! Ryan gets what he deserves because he's too obsessed with Tank! He should've fought Haney 2 years ago @ 135, so I'm still mad at him for that! He could've chased Teo @ 140 too! I'm happy for Teo! JT was talking about Crawford, but he stuck around for Teo, because he knew he couldn't f-k with Bud! So yeah, I'm glad we're getting that fight!

Damn Bruh, not Spence, he didn't run away from negotiations to fight a crash dummy for a big check. I feel you though!!

Spence is there because he could've chosen Boots over Thurman, and he didn't! Unacceptable! I would've even been happy if he fought Fundora @ 154! F-k Keef, and for that F-K Spence too!

Damn, legit?

31 October 2020 Oleksandr Usyk vs. Derek Chisora Sky Box Office 1,059,000 3 December 2022 Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora III BT Sport Box Office 500,000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-pe...United_Kingdom

Sky numbers can be found at the Broadcaster's Audience Research Board, if you know where to look, but you can't link to the relevant page, the site doesn't work like that.

BT numbers are not published anywhere. The 500k for Fury/Chisora 3 came from Frank Warren. He claimed not to remember the exact number and when asked if it was over 500k he replied, "somewhere around there"

tbf, Fury vs Chisora cost around double the price of Usyk vs Chisora and Sky has a bigger UK reach than BT Sports. But Usyk is clearly more than just "some gappy toothed little nobody from East Europe who nobody gives a **** about" in the UK.

He isn't a household name like Fury and AJ. But anybody in the UK who would even think about shelling out for a boxing PPV knows all about Usyk, and 99.999% of them like and respect him very much.

Classless, the mask has finally slipped and the real fury has shown up. Didnt seem too long ago when he was preaching about mental health.

Hes done everything he can from deterring usyk from taking this fight and now the fans have seen through him his ego cant take it.

Such a shame was looking forward to this one

And his Brick Top impersonation intimidates interviewers so much that they don't call him out and press him to be specific about what he's suggesting. Classic Frank Warren tactics. Simon Jordan at TalkSport just rolled over and played possum when Frank went into Brick Top mode. He had none of the confrontational energy he directed at Eddie Hearn earlier this week.

Or maybe Usyk's team wanted to renegotiate the rematch terms so that if their man won he could recoup some of the money he lost by accepting 30/70 for the first fight?

Whatever, asking a 3 belt world title holder to defend his belts on the opponents home turf, on a show promoted by the opponents side, without a rematch clause in case of a controversial decision in the opponen's favour, is bull****.

And, if you think about it, that would amount to a one-way rematch clause in Fury's favour. If Usyk won, of course Fury's side are going to offer him a rematch, irrespective of contractual obligations. And of course, Usyk is going to accept it. Where else could he earn money like that fighting a guy he already beat? But if Fury won - especially if it was a close and/or controversial decision - it would be, "Bye-bye Rabbit. You had your chance and you blew it"

The next logical step for Fury is luring Frank Bruno out of retirement.
