Why didn't Usyk agree to the no rematch clause terms?

I don’t disagree but the point is the belts don’t mean anything here. What matters is who is the bigger draw which is obviously Fury.Fury didn't negotiate in good faith. The gap in popularity between Floyd and whoever he fought was much larger than Fury and Usyk. Furthermore, Usyk has most of the belts. Fury still is lineal and a bit more accomplished, but even resume wise they are not that far apart.
But tying back to Floyd, Floyd was much more accomplished and much more popular than whoever he fought, but his demands were far more reasonable than Fury.
I don’t think 70-30 is a fair offer but Uysk accepted it so its irrelevant whether it is or not.
Maybe it wasn’t in good faith maybe it was but we’ll never know will we because Usyk walked away from the table. He should have accepted it as far as I’m concerned.Comment

How does that make sense when Usyk’s team whole argument was it was Fury who asked for the rematch clause and not them?
If Usyk’s wins the fight without a rematch clause he gets a bigger % in the rematch than any rematch clause they would ever realistically agree to.Comment

He accepted it but then he slapped a 70% for the winner in a rematch demand which he knew would not be accepted by fury since fury was getting 80% apparently if he won anyway lol
that means to me he did not really accept the 30% possibly and made the calculation i can do much better than this in saudi next year hopefully he says & probably a lot better, it was 50 50 says frank warren for saudi, thats a huge huge bump in pay for usky if greedy belly will agree with them that is

Well if that’s the case, which I think you’re probably right about in all honesty, how is Fury at any more fault than Usyk?
He accepted it but then he slapped a 70% for the winner in a rematch demand which he knew would not be accepted by fury since fury was getting 80% apparently if he won anyway lol
that means to me he did not really accept the 30% possibly and made the calculation i can do much better than this in saudi next year hopefully he says & probably a lot better, it was 50 50 says frank warren for saudi, thats a huge huge bump in pay for usky if greedy belly will agree with them that isComment

he messed up saudi by the looks of things, all evidence points to that, then he made the unreasonable demand of 70% for the uk gig leading usyk to make that calculation, i can do much better than this next yr in saudi so he walked away, fury i think even said he didnt expect usyk to take the 30% and hes an idiot for doing it, then usky slapped his 70% winner thing on, there is a pair of them at it i thinkComment
