    This "wide report by various athletes" seems different by what Benson says in terms of how both fighters get satisfied when negotiating.

    We've no idea what were the offers the Saudis gave to each fighter, but I don't think this was the best way to proceed in that case. I mean, what makes you think a better or equal one was given to Fury, but he denied it? That's what, I think, most of the fans dislike: we've no idea how the negotiations are going and so... We only see how they fail.

    Tyson, I don’t care about money, I drive around in an 07 Passat (has anyone seen him in a Passat) Fury, holding this up because of money. 5hithouse.

    Yup, yup. I did think it may have been too much reading for you in one sitting.

    Good to know that anything that opposes your view to which you have no response is a "wind up".

    I'm not disagreeing with you. Like I said, I've barely read your post. No need to spit your dummy out.

    Anyone that is invoking the poverty of multi-milionaire athletes when times are genuinely hard for regular people is quite obviously one of two things, a wind up or a thicko. I gave you credit and called you a wind up, take the compliment.

    I can only assume your subsequent replies to me are you staying in character and hoping you get a bite or two. Good luck

    Where is the deadlines from Fury?

    Was quick to lay down artifical deadlines to AJ.

    As for both men deserve £100 million lol.

    The Saudis are not doing it for free. On what planet can the fight guarantee £100 mil for both? Certainly not this one!!!

    Let's be honest, many of us said Fury doesn't seem to want anything to do with Usyk. Everything going on seems this could be correct.

    They are not getting anywhere close to those purses. Saudi will over pay but want to recoup some of the revenue of the fight. AJ vs Fury would have likely split £100m. Usyk vs Fury would not get close

    The original offer was a straight split. Both knew what they were getting. Fury was offered £10m more than AJ got for the Usyk fight. He wouldn’t take it. Usyk decided he would accept the money offered as a flat fee. Fury can then negotiate whatever makes him happy without having a determined split with Usyk. He is asking for very silly money given he will get half that for Usyk.

    Could be so, but where's the proof?

    This is a fight everyone wants to see so given how boxing works this fight won’t get made.

    Sadly I think Fury will want to try and pull this off.

    Guessing having donated so much money too Manchesters homeless he needs every single £ from the Usyk fight

    I believe that Fury vs Usyk will become a reality.

    What we are experiencing right now is the usual round of trouble leading up to a big fight / huge event.
