Fury now wants 70%

you said it...

 

Krassyuk said it himself that the Saudi's deal was not 50:50 as many here claimed for months, but on a personal agreement level. Whether that was used by any of the fighters to procrastinate or duck the fight - I doubt we'll ever know (for those of you who don't get it how, as the spravedliv guy: accept a low amount of money, so to make the Saudis offer a lower one to the other fighter). But it seems it wasn't the best the Saudis could do. Then the negotiations started and it's been for a while Fury stated he's willing to go to 60:40 - greedy or not, it was his proposal. Then we've Krassyuk constantly saying Usyk is not about the money, but the legacy (which he did in his last interview few days ago), we add the fact Usyk accepted 40% against Chisora and 20 or 25% against AJ in 2021 - how come his fans don't see the gap: he's a boxing knight, he's not about the money, but it's actually the money that stops him of accepting? Sure, I said it before: might not be fair from Fury's side, boxing rarely is, but Usyk had the strong hand to put him in the corner by saying "60:40 isn't fair, but I'll fight you". Now he has even stronger hand by accepting the lower 70:30 just to prove the people Fury's all about the money, eventually coward if however the fight doesn't happen and on top of all that, if Usyk wins he'll seriously humiliate Fury. We're about to see if he'll do it, again, as being "for the legacy, not for the money". Because even if he loses in case of 70:30 he'll always have one positive over Fury for accepting, no matter the offer. I know the blinded fans of Usyk won't get a word from what I am saying, but it is not against him, it's against both. Does Fury has more guilt here - he does, it's still not 100% with him. Plus, if the fight doesn't happen Usyk will probably face some mandatory - possibly Hrgovic, Dubois and later this year Joyce eventually, but the first two bring him nothing, as he easily outclasses them, not to mention, financially won't go to close to what is Fury's 70:30.

Just forget for a moment any personal bias or other forum member's one, I'm disappointed this fight fails, as I'm sure it will. While I am a fan of both fighters and regardless of what some **diots here think, they can't show me saying anything bad about Usyk.

Having this fight failed, Usyk can retire if not facing Joyce or Wilder, but I hope he'll do one or two more top fights, as being 36 I don't see him still that old. Whatever he decides it'll be fine. It becomes **ittier for Fury and he has only himself to blame - his path is fighting only any other top, as retiring or going for some other B-class is shameful and I doubt the fans will be excited to see it.

It'll be back to 60/40 after their next fights, and Usyk will sign. That's unless to Saudis come in and give them both what they want in full.
Either way, roll on the summer.

 

But it won’t be Joyce next, it’ll be a Kabayel or at best Ruiz

 

You need to update that picture to reflect today's percentage split offer. And maybe have a 80/20 version prepared just in case...

 

He's going to dooducked

 

One Fury fan lost.

Not interested in any other fight.

 

What a dosser.

 

I wanted this fight, I really did, but the damage-control from Frank, Bob etc. will be a delicious consolidation prize

70-30 is baffling. I've been very pro-Usyk lately, but I do admit there's some logic to 60-40. 70-30 though?

Devin Haney, WBC champ (sound familiar?), fought George Kambosos, WBA, IBF, WBO, Ring champ (sound familiar?).......... on foreign turf, twice, and took small money in the first fight. But Devin, and this is DEVIN HANEY we're talking about, not Roberto Duran or Manny Pacquiao, was confident enough in his skills that he could mollywop George and go back to doing his thing in the US

Tyson Fury, Mr. Spartan, People's Champ, Mental Elf advocate - all of this shite, clearly isn't confident. Usyk is the best heavyweight of this era until proven otherwise. Just need a Joyce or Wilder win or something to cement that. Fury is a deluded too-big-for-the-sport diva just like his mate Francis Ngannou. Bollocks to these clowns. The fans always win. The house always wins. Fury's stock gonna plummet to levels not seen since 2018

So glad I've got the next few days off work. Gonna be getting the popcorn for Simon Jordan, Hatman, Kirk and so on. Maybe see what Dwyer's doing these days

 

Usyk just fought AJ twice. He deserves at least 40-60 for first fight and then 60-40 for the rematch (if he wins).

Why would team fury mess around a real fighting man like this.

 

Furys next fight is going to be an impossible sell.

The Chisora fight was bad but it was accepted on the understanding that it was a warm up fight for a real fight in March. Now the real fight isn't happening and we're going to have another silly bout against somebody he's already beaten or somebody who has 0 chance of beating him.

It's all very tedious now.

 

The F#@k is wrong with this guy??? He's one step away from an Undisputed fight (where he'd be the favorite), and he's throwing it away. Sorry, Team Fury, you bottled it.
