Fury not being undisputed doesn’t make him the best that’s a fact and certainly not fighting non boxers and Derrick Chisoras . Lol
    You're delusional here if you think the mere holding of belts is going to give Usyk a higher percentage if he doesn't bring substantial revenue generation to the table. And I have given you ample examples of their purses to show that. You have given me no counter argument.

    Its all about revenue and Fury is the massive A-side in this fight. 30% is a good offer from Fury relative to each boxer's commercial worth.

      Has Bob been paying attention during Fury's career? When has a Fury fight EVER been easy to make?

          Fury is not a disgrace, he's the face of boxing. Bend the knee lad.

              Usyk was already offered way more money in Saudi a lot closer to what Fury was getting himself. It’s you who are delusional. Offering 30% is a duck and why Fury was visibly upset on social media when it was accepted . Fury himself was getting more in Saudi before he said there wasn’t enough money but mentally challenged posters will still try and defend that .

              Like I said no one expects anyone to hold on to that many titles it’s the fight that matters and whoever gets undisputed will be called the best ,I guess that is to hard for you to understand ? Lol

                Exactly my point... Fury doesn't want to make the big fights. He's explicitly said he doesn't care about fighting AJ or Usyk and only wants money. I suspect Jake or Logan Paul are more likely opponents.

                  You've probably nailed it. Fury did defeat Wilder, but he took some serious punishment and no longer wants to face the risk of more. If I'm right Fury's fear of suffering permanent damage has changed his money-making career from being a warrior to that of being an entertainer.

                    LMAO... what Saudi money?

                    They guys who were supposed to come up with an offer but never showed up? the guys who had Wilder-Joshua as a "done deal" but disappeared? The Wembley offer from Frank was a real fight based on real revenue being generated. If someone in Saudi can come up with the money, they will deal with each fighter separately and not talk about a split. Team Usyk kept telling us that Skills Challenge will soon make a take-it-or-leave-it offer but we all know those guys are no longer in charge and so that money is merely fantasy money right now.

                    Did Eddie tell you that Fury rejected an offer when no offer was actually made? even team Usyk has accepted that no actual offer was made, just promises to make an offer.

                      Tyson has the personality of a guy who could be an entertainer that doesn't get hit in the head so idk about this. I think if he was legit worried this much about damage he'd not be fighting at all.

                      I do think he's going for the money in boxing, but I also think he's in a spot few are in to be able to do it like he is now with this Ngannou fight. So its not like every boxer is turning down novelty fights for 8 digits putting boxing first. Most ppl don't get offered these types of opportunities, but would take them if they did get offered them.
