    I'm on the fence as I like both fighters. Fury is clearly the money man out of the two and 60/40 would be reasonable.

    In America, Fury is more known than Usyk, so it would be Fury getting the lion's share. As far as accomplishment, Usyk deserves the bigger split I guess.

    As far as all these 'titles' that are able to be won nowadays.....well, that's just an indicator of the quality of 'champions' that we have.

    You were saying??? If any deserve more its Usyk. Fury is nowhere the draw his fangirls making him out to be.
    Fun part is Usyk name is in 3 out of top 10 UK best PPV in the history. Fury is nowhere to be seen on that list.
    Funny how Fury fangirls was claiming that AJ somehow doesn't deserve the supposed 40% split, cause Fury have belt, and AJ not, but now they are turning comple 360 twist. Typical for his fans.
    Funny how Fury and Warren said he would fight Usyk in January or February, and February is coming, yet the fight is not even close to be made....
    Quack, quack, quack.

    Usyk would deserve at least 20% for any belt he holds.

    Fury has only one belt even if it is the most prestigious.

    So..Usyk 60% Fury 40% imo.

    Those percentages also represent the chances they have to win.

    Usyk isn't fighting his opponents in his country

    You think Fury would be the main attraction fighting Polish, Russian, Latvian, British, German (adopted), and American world champions, darlings, and top contenders in their home countries?

    You think Fury is bigger than Usyk in Ukraine? :facepalm:

    You think he'd fight Usyk over there for anything less than 50-50?

    Fact is Usyk is way more accomplished both amateur and pro, is the current P4P King, is one belt from becoming the first two-weight undisputed champion in the four belt era and there's a huge weight gap between CWs and modern HWs

    Has beaten more world champions in 20 fights than Fury and his second best win The Dosser have in 90 combined fights

    Like Fury, is one of the sport's greatest characters and entertainers and he's also very popular over in Britain too

    Sells wherever he goes

    And his star and future earnings have not only skyrocketed since beating AJ the first time (Baptism I) but so has his earning potential and purses and they should have risen again since Baptism II as well.

    Fury couldn't sell out a tearoom (exag) prior to The Dosser fights but now he's a big player and we didn't find out how much his star had risen until he came back home and sold out Wembley

    Usyk is a big player after whooping AJ x 2 as well

    He's Mr Big Time

    If its at Wembley, and Usyk turns down 40%, thats a duck.
    Usyk can't draw flies to sh*t.

    It'll be 50/50 in Arabia anyway.

    No, Usyk more than deserves his shot at undisputed HW champion. He has well earned it.

    50/50. It's the event itself that will generate megabucks. Neither of them would make anywhere near as much money fighting anyone else, except maybe Fury v Joshua and that's debatable.

    Funny how many people who said this fight will never happen are now in here acting like Usyks manager PMSL.

    Usyk fans up in here making excuses ready to duck Fury.
    "B-b-b-b-but he deserves 50%"....

    Get it signed Oleksander!!!

    Fury is the one setting the stage for the duck by putting roadblocks in the way at the last minute which ever so coincidentally coincides with Big Frank pressuring team Usyk to sign quickly or they're going to move on again (like they did with AJ) and Ngannou leaving the UFC.

    Ask anyone who has worked with Usyk and his team and they'll tell you the process is smooth like peanut butter and that they're no nonsense and easy to work with. The same cannot be said about team Fury.

    That's right. Eddie Hearn said it was easy to make the fights against Joshua and they were agreed very quickly. Obviously this is an Undisputed fight but it seems like Fury always has problems when it comes to negotiations.

    50 50 is fair both aren’t big draws. Joshua vs wilder without any belts on the line would outsell this by miles.
