Usyk took 80/20 vs Joshua, but 70/30 vs Tyson is a bluff?

Not one response from war room LOL. That dont happen often.You don’t understand context and circumstances at all so you?
Usyk took the short end in the first Joshua fight when Usyk was a challenger and had no belts. He beat Joshua twice in two PPVs that sold very well in the UK. Add to that he’s had UK PPVs against Bellew and Chisora. Thus when he was heading out into Fury negotiations he now had 3 belts, and 4 UK PPVs under his belt. He wasn’t an unknown challenger with no marketability.
Im sure theirs a good reason for this. Probably ran out of Pamprin and had to go to the store.Comment

Yet Chis Usyk sold more ppvs than chis Fury. What does that say?Do remember that Chisora was the A-side when Usyk negotiated with Chisora where Chisora was to get 6.9m vs Usyk's 2.2m (later changed to 4m vs 1.5m as guaranteed). Those claiming Usyk has 4 PPV events in the UK need to remember that in all 4 of those events, it was a Brit that was selling the PPV (Joshua, Chisora, Bellew). In Usyk vs Bellew, they both made around £4m because Bellew brought in all the £££ and it wasn't even a rematch clause that Usyk "had" to fight. On his own, Usyk made £1.2m against Chazz Witherspoon.
So let's be honest, a 30% against Fury would probably be greater than his lion's share against his alternate fights with Dubois and Hrogovic combined... maybe even twice as much. And if he wins and gets a 50% in the rematch, it would be more than his entire career earning (except AJ's rematch).Comment

Usyk/Chisora did 1.5m buys compared to Chisora/Fury III which did 500kDo remember that Chisora was the A-side when Usyk negotiated with Chisora where Chisora was to get 6.9m vs Usyk's 2.2m (later changed to 4m vs 1.5m as guaranteed).

So...Did Chisora's star power just fizzle out?Comment

Isn't that if it goes to purse bids. Before that a deal can be done between the teams.the wbo have a champ challenger split of 25% and the wbo mandated the usky joshua fight
"In fights between the Champion and the first available
contender held in the country of origin, residence or nationality of the
Champion, or a neutral venue, the latter (Champion) shall receive
75% of the total purse, and the Challenger shall receive the remaining 25%"
Regarding the split of the first fight, Eddie on IFLTV recently said first fight was "something like 70/30" he pays the fighters and the promoters he knows exactly what the split is so was probably less than 30 to Usyk but didn't want to say exact, if we go off what Krassyuk has said he left a comment online, and wrote the split was 78.5/21.5 so that is probably the most accurate figure.Comment

never saw that comment, i heard that because usky agreed to a rematch clause as a mandatory, which he didnt have to do and which joshua wanted, he got a better deal off hearn for doing that on top of what was originally offered, that makes sense to me too, joshua wanted a rematch clause, he had to get usky to agree to that and couldnt demand one as usualLast edited by Smash; 03-29-2023, 08:49 AM.Comment
