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

[bullydean]

Riddle me this, Fury super-fan...

If Usyk is only worth 30 as the undefeated unified champion of the world, and then Fury wins the first fight, why would Usyk then be worth 50 after he loses?

Because Usyk wanted 70 to the winner in the second fight. If Fury wins the first fight, under what Usyk wanted, Fury would be entitled to 70 in both fights. Instead, Fury wants to have the second fight be 50-50, when the loser will be a defeated contender, and the winner is the UNDISPUTED heavyweight champion. Why, if he's worth so much, is he turning down an extra 20%? Fury is literally throwing a tantrum over being offered more money... Unless he thinks he's going to lose...

Because Fury is still a bigger name than Usyk. Even after losing Fury would be one of or the biggest reason the fight would sell. Same reason Usyk accepted a 50/50 rematch deal against AJ.

How is Fury throwing a tantrum for wanting 50/50 in a rematch he doesn't want?
You do realize the reason Fury didn't want the rematch win or lose is so he could move on and cash out against AJ and potentially Joyce. If Fury has to rematch Usyk he's not going to make as much money as he wants to. Fury is almost out of his prime or already on the decline.

I'm not a superfan I just happen to actually read the articles.

My point is they didn't lie or change their plans like you said they did.

When the deal was announced they said the split would be 50/50. How do you get from 50/50 to 70/30 without changing anything?

You clearly don't read well...

If Fury is a bigger name, why is he turning down a bigger split in the second fight if he wins, and insisting on a 50/50 split instead of getting 70 in both fights? If he wins under Usyk's proposal he'd make more money in the second fight than under his own proposal. If he's confident about beating the "middleweight" why's he turning down more money if he's such a big star?

You do accept that AJ was the bigger draw which is why he got 50% after losing badly and being a contender?

I'm asking you again ... do you understand that the split for the rematch was agreed and written into the contract when AJ was the champion and Usyk was the challenger?

Do you also understand that Usyk was not legally allowed to change that split after he won?

Because it's not a guaranteed win lol. No matter the bravado any fighter has they're not ****** enough to accept a bs deal.
If Usyk was sure he we could win he wouldn't want a rematch.

Why didn't Usyk just accept the 50/50 rematch deal?

Again the mandatory isn't forced to accept the 75/25 deal. Usyk could have negotiated the rematch split in his favor before the first fight but he didn't because AJ was the A side regardless of the belts.

Lol ... what do you mean, regardless of the belts? He didn't have any belts then, you idiot!

Do you think the split would be the same if they fought again, with Usyk as the champ and AJ as the challenger?
