    He rejected 60/40 initially right?
    never heard of that, fury offered 30% and thats all as far as i know

    if fury offered 40% the world would know about it i would say, he certainly made enough noise about his 30% offer

      The 70-30 came way way later (days before the negotiations broke down).

      Before that the offer was 60-40 which was rejected as Usyk wanted 50-50, but then made another bogus offer of 60-40 to the winner which was obviously never going to be accepted.

      The initial offer was 60-40, which Usyk turned down. The 70-30 offer came after all the shenanigans.

          never heard of usyk being offered 40% to be honest

          the fight was in saudi, fury couldnt agree his terms, fight moved to uk, fury demanded 70%, thats all i know

            I could be wrong then.

            I was of the understanding that Usyk requested 50-50 to which Fury said no 60-40. To which they then said no, but they will do 60-40 to the winner (which was a bogus offer that wasn’t going to be accepted)

            To which Fury responded with his own bogus offer of 70-30, and then the circus began.

            Thats my understanding of what happened.

              nah doesnt sound right to me

              the fight was saudi and then uk, that was the serious stuff, if there was anything else it was just posturing i would say, i never heard about anything else to be honest, why would they be going into uk numbers like that when the saudi deal was on and they make their own deals with them

                I think he'd rather fight Hrgovic than Fury.

                I don't think Usyk is too keen on fighting Fury to be honest, despite popular belief.
                If one looks carefully, it would stand to reason. The stiff Croat has some talents but I can't see him cornering a smaller heavyweight. Fury has that reach, he can keep Usyk away all night really... It is like when (I think it was Naples) moved up against one of your favorite fighters: Monzon... Bread mentioned it on his column... I think it was Naples who was just too small to avoid a physical guy with a jab and the skills behind it.

                Good big man beats a good little man lol.

                  Well I know for a fact that Usyk requested 50-50, and Fury said no, then I know for a fact that Krasuk said Fury wants 60-40 and they will accept that but only if the winner gets 60%. So it sounds right to me

                  Well I agree about the UK and that neither team overly wanted it in the UK but that includes Usyk aswell who was playing his own games.

                    I agree with you.

                    I don’t see Usyk beating Fury.
