there was a thread here not long ago about that, im sure u can find it its not that old
the end result as far as i could make out was that usyk had agreed a deal with the saudis but fury was unable to agree a deal with the saudis because his financial demands were too high, there was a quote from a saudi guy saying one of the guys (fury usky) was demanding more than the entire even was forecast to generate but usky had agreed his deal, so it wasnt hard to figure out who that guy wasComment

This fight is a 50-50 split. There is no A-side or B-side, both men need each other equally and the fight itself is bigger than any one name.
Usyk's side agreed their terms with the Saudis, Fury didn't. God only knows what kind of obscene figure you have to be demanding to price yourself out with the Saudis. There are many ways to turn down a fight and the easiest one is to price yourself out.
Usyk's team have stood firm on 50-50 and rightfully so. When Fury wanted a larger split, they proposed 60-40 to the winner. Seems fair to me. Then when Fury got even more outlandish and demanded 70-30, Usyk accepted--on the condition that should he win, the rematch be a 70-30 split in his favour. Again, can't say fairer than that.
I'm not exactly sure what it is Usyk is supposed to be guilty of here. Not letting Fury mug him off? It seems abundantly clear to me that Usyk's side were operating in good faith and trying to actually make the fight, where as Fury was putting up one obstacle after the next.
It's funny how when Fury's fights with Chisora and Ngannou got made, there wasn't a peep to be heard. No split demands, stipulations or ultimatums. Everything went through without a hitch. Weird...Comment

50-50 was for Saudi, not the UK. Usyk is never getting 50% in the UK nor should he.
60/40 to the winner seems fair to you? That is operating in good faith? You cannot be serious. How can that be seen as anything but an obstacle?

The split should be 50-50 regardless of where the fight is held. Not every fight has an A-side. This isn't a Tyson Fury fight, it's a fight to crown the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and Usyk is every bit as important to the equation as Fury. Not to mention he holds three of the four belts. The only fair split is 50-50, whether in Saudi Arabia, Wembley Stadium or Timbuktu.
You agree it should have been a 50-50 split in Saudi, yet it's entirely Fury's fault the fight didn't happen there. So what, Usyk should be expected to take a 40% split of a much smaller pot all because of Fury being an arse? And if he doesn't then he is equally as culpable in not making the fight? Can't you see how ridiculous that is?
How is 60/40 to the winner not operating in good faith? It's a fair compromise to Fury demanding a larger percentage of the split. If he wins he gets it. Or what then, you think that anything less than Usyk bending over and accepting a 40% split (or worse) outright is him not operating in good faith to make the fight?
Bottom line, if Fury wanted this fight to happen it would have.Comment
