Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury To Make Over $100 Million For Usyk Fight, Says Arum

[max baer]

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.

spot on willow. I agree 100%

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

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

Of course it is, have you got any idea how large the Saudi public investment fund is?

Fury has signed a $200 million deal with them

[soul_survivor]

This is not true in any way, shape or form!

Fury doesn't make that type of money and yes, I'm sure the Saudis will throw silly money to make undisputed but it won't be that silly.

Plus if Tyson is making 100m then whats Usyk making? Fury apparently only wanted to offer Usyk 30% lol

Usyk in the Joshua rematch made a minimum of $40m before PPV revenue, I can't see him taking any less than that...meaning this is a $200m fight. Nah, thats May/Pac or May/McGregor levels of money. I call bs on this lol

The Saudis don't deal in percentages, each fighter negotiates their own purse. The Saudis also don't care about making any profit, they just want to host the undisputed fight for the publicity.

£200+ million to the Saudis is a bit of loose change

That is crazy. Funny how the last time they went back and forth and you heard Tyson making offers, Usyk making videos accepting....and out of nowhere it just gets signed for less money than Fury asked for in the beginning. I'll never understand this part of the business.

That was back when they were talking about fighting in the UK, and i don't think Fury was serious when he was asking for 500 million

[Willow The Wisp]

Anyway, the fight is signed, it's going to happen and the mony is real.

[Smash]

great fight at last

id say quite likely fury chanced his arm last time the fight was due in saudi and demanded more than the entire event would generate is probably a fair reflection of what happened, he may have actually taken an 80% paycut in his demands to make it happen, although i do doubt he stuck to the 500 mil demand he made in public

these guys at the end of the day are so lucky the saudis have gone mad in their era

Amongst Western nations, guess where the US ranks in every aspect of any kind of measurement? The bottom.
So, I’ll say Saudi is doing just fine.
As for a despot that likes to torture and murder people, the justice system in the US does the same exact thing mostly to poor people and people of Color.

Not everything has to be compared against the US. I don't live in the US.

BTW US ranks no.1 out of every country for GDP, so you're off the mark saying it's bottom.
