Comments Thread For: Usyk's Promoter: Even if Oleksandr Got Zero, It Would Still Not Be Sufficient For Fury

[removed]

Anyway, the draft dodger got greedy, that's why this fight didn't happen.

Correct. He doesn't want fights he could lose. No Usyk, no Joshua. Plenty of Wilder and Chisora though. He can win those.

[War Room]

They know they blew it and it's so obvious they ducked they're desperate to convince the world through the media. 100% damage control.

Fury didn't want a rematch regardless of the outcome so he could move on with his career and get a AJ mega fight. All Usyk had to do was beat Fury once and he could move onto his retirement fights.
Usyk was the one begging for a rematch, not Fury.

It looks like Usyk is trying to cash out lol

This is not true. Frank Warren, in a TalkSport interview, admitted that it was Team Fury who asked for a rematch clause in the first place and the terms they wanted were 70/30 to Fury if he won the 1st fight and 50/50 if Usyk won. Usyk refused that and said the rematch split should be 70/30 to the winner, whoever the winner was.

Fury would not agree to that. He was insisting on getting a 50/50 split in the rematch, even if he lost fight the 1st fight..

It's obvious that Usyk was more confident of winning than Fury.

If Fury was confident of winning, why was 70/30 to the winner in a rematch a problem for him?

Usyk needs someone on his team who knows how to negotiate. Klimas used to wash cars and Krassyuk used to breed chickens. Both are complete idiots who should have been immediately fired for agreeing to 70/30 split.

enlighten me? Fury’s 3x victories over chisora were more impressive than usyks debateable win over good old war horse. Usyk also debateably beat Bredis who just got schooled by one armed jai opetia(who?). Fury is the premier HW of this era until someone can beat him. You can hype usyk all u want but 2 narrow points wins over AJ is his claim to fame. Put him in vs ruiz wilder ortiz Joyce fury dubois he will lose AT LEAST 2 probably 3 or more of those match ups. Beterbiev drops him with a body shot. Go watch usyk Vs glowacki too. Glowacki drops him with shots to the body too but it’s not counted. Had AJ crowded usyk and roughed him up made it a phone booth fight he could’ve done a number on usyk but his fight IQ isn’t high enough and it never will be. Usyk is the most overated fighter but tbh there’s a few of those in boxing rn usyk and bud crawford are at the top of the list.

Could not agree more.

From what I heard, Usyk wanted Fury to give $$ to the most corrupt country on the planet. Also, Usyk is not a draw, especially in the UK. Honestly it should be 70/30 for both fights. Nobody is gonna pay to watch Usyk pop shot guys he cannot KO. People want KOs. That is why Fury/Wilder was so good. There is a reason SA passed on this fight. Usyk does not draw. Fury does. It's as simple as that.

i thought fury was a bigger draw than aj, yet the saudis could pay for joshua vs usyk but not fury vs usyk for undisputed?

usyk vs chisora did 1m ppv buys..and chisora never does those type of numbers on his own eg he didnt do that against whyte.
where did that 1m ppv buys come from then? because joshua vs pulev did less.

we have a lot of eastern europeans in the uk, millions of them. think about it.

usyk was ppv against bellew too. that one did over 800k ppv buys.

meanwhile, fury vs wiad did about 600k ppv buys (and aj vs whyte did better numbers than that). Fury vs wilder (all 3 of them) did less numbers.

Articles on here say otherwise. Someone else pointed out your point as well and after reading the article again it turned out that Frank said Usyk's team wanted the rematch.

I don't care what articles on here say about it.

I'm telling you what Frank Warren himself said about it an interview on TalkSport.

The articles here are just the interviews in a written form. I don't care what you say when the articles say otherwise.
