Comments Thread For: Fury Warns Usyk To Be Reasonable on Money: If He Fights Hgrovic, He'll Get Hardly Anything

[James]

Ali fought and beat the best of his era...Zhang and Filip are second-tier fighters. Usyk needs to fight the likes of Fury, Wilder, Ruiz, Whyte (if he isn't banned) to come anywhere close to Ali. Ali also never needed 5 minutes to recover from a shot whether it was head or body.

Zhang and Filip will make a statement in the ring about them self. It is to early to claim that they are first-tier or second-tier fighters. Time will tell not we.

Usyk already agreed to 70/30 and Fury says this.

Fury just doesn’t want to fight Usyk. I guess he will fight AJ first for the payday and hope Usyk loses.

Sure..Joshua is bigger name and brings more money to the table. And he is damaged goods because he lost few fights so he is easier to beat.
But if they fight I hope Joshua wins and takes all the glory

The worst thing, even worse than Fury's behavior, is the fact that the WBC allows him to keep the title even when he fights an opponent of no significance.

People still support this jack a$$$? Ped using coke head trash.

But Fury's going around saying Usyk is an easy fight. If he's such an easy fight, why not become undisputed?

Because he doesn't care about boxing, only money.

In yesterdays interview, he was asked if it was still his priority to become undisputed and he said, “Has it ever been my priority? Did I ever say I wanted undisputed? It’s always been some little *****’s dream, ain’t it.."

If he is not interested in being undisputed then why hold on to the WBC belt and keep going around calling yourself the champ.

Fury is a joke and history will not be kind to him.

[turnedup]

It is weird - Usyk claims his only aim is to become the undisputed, yet he truly never sent any offer to Fury, but complains of things we can't even be sure a true. Saying all that, Fury has his fault as well for not having this fight, but it isn't 100% as many people think.

Fury is the only one trying to negotiate through the media. Send him an offer? From what you’ve read do you honestly think fury would even accept one? He’s dictating when a person is dictating they aren’t negotiating, they are telling you their stance. His stance is I will tell you and you will take, so again what offer does he need?

[Jsrr]

From what I understand there will be no negotiations. Each fighter will make they're own individual deals with the Saudis, no cuts or percentages.

Fury really has become an it's all about me diva. Doesn't sound to me like he wants to undespute.

Seriously what a pathetic money before legacy heavyweight generation.

He clearly doesn't want to be undisputed.

In yesterdays interview, he was asked if it was still his priority to become undisputed and he said, “Has it ever been my priority? Did I ever say I wanted undisputed? It’s always been some little *****’s dream, ain’t it.."

I don't get it. He obviously already has more money than he'll ever need, why not dare to be an ATG and chase legacy?
Usyk has the right mindset and that is what he is trying.

Even if Fury looses to Usyk, I'm sure he can still make money doing his **** shows with ex MMA fighters or WWE.

"If Usyk is a good little boy, he might be an option but if he isn't, he will just be another foreign middleweight that stays out in the cold," Fury told Sky Sports.

Fury has issued a warning to Usyk, that he needs to lower his financial demands when they negotiate the terms for a second time.

"He can go and fight someone else for [hardly anything] again like he did against Dubois. If he

This kind of talk all but confirms that Fury will never fight Usyk. He will always find an excuse to not get the deal done.
He tells Usyk to be reasonable about the money, Usyk had already accepted a 30% split earlier in the year. What is Fury wanting.....80/20?

Usyk got more than $6 million for Dubois, I wouldn't call that "hardly anything". 95% of boxers will never see a purse that big and I'm sure he will get something similar if he fights Hrgovic or Zhang!

I don't know how Fury's fans keep defending him. Fury is so full of ****. I seriously hate this guy. He is a cancer to the sport, the sooner he retires, the better boxing will be.

Want to fight Chisora for the 10th time and washed up ex MMA fights, thats fine! Just don't do it while holding a World Title going around calling yourself the champ when you won't even defend the belt and are openly saying you never wanted to be undisputed!

So far, the only offer has been from team Fury to Usyk which he rejected based on rematch percentage and 1m to Ukraine. Fury offered him a slightly better deal to what he got in his previous match against AJ. Perhaps this time team Usyk should offer Fury the match with something similar or slightly higher than what he is getting against Ngannou.

What happened to the Saudi take-it-or-leave-it offer that was "soon" to be made? It seems they never came up with the offer and are even struggling to get it done with AJ-Wilder which has been in negotiation for almost a year now.

What belts did Usyk have when he signed to fight Joshua as a mandatory that he got a better deal from Fury ? How did he get a better deal from Fury when he was offered less money as the unified champion please enlighten us ?

100%

Consider as well that the fighter in question is the titlist in 3 of the 4 organisations.

And Fury's main challenger (arguably).

Those belts come and go and get bestowed, stripped and passed around to everyone with a well connected promotor. Usyk is a good contender and a one body shot KO win for Fury, but the bigger money is in Francis Ngannou right now.

Usyk can wait, and maybe slide in a tune up performance where he isn't taken out by a belly punch.
