100m??
I absolutely do not see that being possible

Are you new to boxing?

Saudi Arabia is one of the greatest nations on the planet. I love that they are borrowing the blue print of two of the greatest ********ic and capitalistic countries - The US and the UK.
Meanwhile a socialist nation like France can eat a bag of ….

One of the greatest nations of the planet using which metrics?

Saudii Arabia has a lower GDP than Indonesia.
If you are look at the OECD's list of which countries have the highest percentage of university education, Saudi Arabia doesn't even make the list -- and the list includes countries like South Africa, Chile, Costa Rica and Brazil.
In a list of "quality of life" by US News which attempts to take into account things like political stability, income equality, public health and education, Saudi Arabia comes 30th.
If you look at US News' list for human rights, Saudi Arabia comes in at no.79. Worse than Algeria, Kazahkstan, Qatar and Myanmar...

It's a desert ruled by a despot who likes to torture and murder people for bizarre crimes, such as being a wizard.

Damn sad

That’s what he and AJ were both guaranteed before Wilder forced the third fight and killed the undisputed match.

Saudi’s don’t care about making a dime. It’s a propaganda campaign to improve their image and holding an undisputed heavyweight championship fight is a step towards that to them.

100 mil? Sounds good...

anyway i haven't been paying attention but is this fight getting made after uysk getting dropped with a lowblow/bodyshot a coincidence?

Pretty green with envy, some of these posters here. I have no idea why, though. I have been around this sport for decades and I could never grasp the concept.
I've known many (most) of the top boxers dating way back, and they are without a doubt the most pleasant and down to earth people in the entire entertainment industry in my experience. Usually better people than the clutching fans, in fact.
Most fighters never make it big. For those that do, many lose it all then suffer the effects of a concussion trade by the time they're 50. Knowing the realities of contact sports, I ALWAYS celebrate someone's success.

Tyson will beat the UFC champion in a clean fight. $ 50,000,000 - 75,000,000

Tyson will fight and beat Usyk wide to reclaim the belts he already won and never lost.
$ 110,000,000 - 135,000,000

Tyson will fight Zhang in China and symbolicly win for Western civilization.
$ 130,000,000 - 165,000,000


Lookat.....

If Sting can make 230m for performing fairly crappy 80s songs in 2022, and Tyler Perry can drag in (see what I did there?) 175m last year, and Brad Pitt can get 100m for acting (you ever meet any actors? Jeeezoos), and Taylor Swift can make 92m for belting out light pop songs written by somebody else......what do YOU think the Champion of ALL The Planet in the only weaponless combat that has Ever been globally important deserves to make????????

Drop your envy. Fury risks his life against trained killers every time he goes to work. The very best ones in the world.

He can't kick them in the shins, he can't choke them out, he can't bend their elbow and he can't call a cop when things get rough. He fights upright like humans have evolved to be, and he fights them like a MAN.

He earns every blessed penny he gets.

If anyone else in the division can manage to earn a fight with him and defeat him, they'll earn it too.

This is the BIG LEAGUES kiddies.

Based on what I read and heard so far:

Fury was offered 80m at first, for last feb/march date. Then the offer was increased to 90m for april. Still wasnt enough

Fury first demanded 150m, later lowered his price to 125m.

Now he is making somewhere 30-50m for Ngannou and somewhere 80-100m for Usyk. Thats the price he originally asked.

There seems to be a rematch in place as Arum mentioned Fury should be making a total 200m in purses by june 24.

Cong**** to Fury, massive paydays

Where is it coming from that this fight is a done deal? Just seems like promoters talking out of their arse. Till they are both in the ring I won’t believe it

Why not? Enjoy the ride. Failed negotiations are common. False reporting about negotiations is common. Hyperbolic statements are very common. This fight is signed. Breaking such a contract is quite rare.
