    Of course Arum thinks his fighter deserves the bigger split, but thats not true. Its 50/50 and i hope Usyk sticks to his guns.

    Francis Ngannou leaves the UFC and ever so conveniently just as he does so they start putting roadblocks in the way demanding Usyk takes a big pay cut. Big Frank pulling those you better sign on the dotted line real quick or we're moving on shenanigans too. I see you Gypsy King. I see you Big Frank.

    Yes, good point. I don't think that is just a random coincidence

    EDIT: Time stamped an interview with Ngannou's stablemate where he mentions the fight from two days ago:

    He’s not the A side because he’s not the one brining in the money. If it takes place at Wembley Fury will generate like 90% of the profit so he deserves more.

    Its 50/50. Usyk has the resume and 3 title belts, no way should it be any less than an even split.

    That’s not how money works. It’s about popularity and generating money. Usyk may have the resume and the titles but if Fury fought someone else he would make wayyyy more money than if Usyk fought someone else.

    Easy solution...

    Fury 60/40

    Rematch after Fury loses 20/80 .... And put that in the contract now...

    Fury's PPVS in the states all flopped. Hes only popular in the UK, Usyk deserves 50/50 hes got 3 of the 4 trinkets and is considered the number 1 p4p by many. For Arum to say Usyk doesnt deserve 50/50 if it went to Wembley is a dumb statement.

    This is a mismatch. Usyk deserves every % of his 50% since he is basically selling his titles and undefeated record. If he doesn't get atleast 50% then why on earth should he sell anything to Fury?

    The fights happening in the uk :lol: so what does it matter if it flops in Americas?
    Also you just keep showing how ignorant you are in the world of business.

    Hes not a draw so theres no argument for Fury getting the bigger share.

    But Usyk isn’t a draw either. Usyk is the B side in every fight he is ever in. When has Usyk ever been in a fight where he is the main attraction?

    Against Bellew everyone in that arena was there for Bellew. Against Chisora the people buying that PPV were all buying it to support Chisora. Against Hunter he was little known and most people watching were wanting a Hunter win. His undisputed cruiser weight fight wasn’t even broadcasted here in the UK.

    So? What does that mean? Fury cant draw on PPV and his biggest win is Wilder. Like i said Usyk deserves 50/50 across the board, anything less would be uncivilized!:deal:
