    Usyk, Olympic gold medalist, undisputed cruiserweight champion and unified heavyweight champion.

    Fury, he has only 1 belt. His resume is too weak.

    Usyk deserves 60/40.

    60/40 Usyk LMFAO. That would be the biggest duck in history.

    I am going by what I see & hear - Fury is more well known as far as I can tell - no one I know who doesn't follow boxing, have never even heard of Usyk, but a lot of them know of Tyson Fury - mainly because of his name Tyson, and because of his size.

    I am no Fury fan, and will be rooting for Usyk if & when they fight. I don't know much about the business side of things, but I feel Usyk should get half, at least.

    I think Fury doesn't want to go 50-50 at the Saudis. He must want 60-40 at Wembley.

    Fury only goes to Saudi for a Roman Reigns match. For a real fight against the best p4p fighter he needs homefield advantage, or no fight.

    Homefield advantage? Nonsense boxing is corrupt to the core from every angle. The officials are scrutinized and cherry picked by BOTH parties and the organisations. It's actually probably the most complex part of making this fight because no matter how well "vetted" the officials are you can still never trust them. What people would regard as Fury's "home" judge in the first Wilder bout scored it a draw. This fight is different because there isn't really a true B side although Usyk will take up that role.

    Ultimately Usyk wants to retire this year and so will Fury probably...the orgs just want to make money being biased in this fight actually has no real benefit to them and they are the people who rig it. These belts are being fractured very soon. If Fury wins as he should do he is getting stripped out of the gate. In the grand scheme of things Fury losing is MORE beneficial to the orgs to make big rematch money. Which is why the first Wilder fight was a DODGY draw.

    The fighters are a product. If the right circumstances occur even the fighters who you'd expect to have the bout rigged in their favour because they always do can get screwed. Canelo Floyd is a good example.

    To summarize as i've just touched on it's actually probably more likely that the judges score in favour of Usyk!

    The referee is the real big deal in this bout if I had to put money the referee is going to let Fury do what he always does not protecting Usyk heavily but the judges will be probably be Usyk biased. If it's close over the distance Usyk will get the nod... I'd put money on it.

    The Fury judge will probably be a corrupt American. The Usyk judge will be a corrupt Ukrainian and the "neutral" judge will be ME! MUHAAHAHA

    LOL at ignorant Americans who think that it only counts being a draw in their country. Fury is a household name in the UK and has been paid significantly higher than Usyk has throughout his career.

    If Fury is the one that brings in the revenue, he deserves a 60-40 in his favor.

    Fury is probably waiting for his injury to heal. That's probably reason for the major delay.

    If the fight can’t be made in the Middle East and they have to make it in the UK at Wembly, I think USYK would agree that Fury’s gonna be the bigger draw in his home country.

    I think Usyk and his team are reasonable and would agree that Fury would deserve a larger percentage than Usyk in England


    But we don’t know if this is even a factor or not

    but if it is certain that it can’t be made in the Middle East, and the next best business decision would be made at Wembley….. I guess we shall see what Usyks response is to getting less that 50%
