    What do you guys think the split needs to be in that fight ? And what try to get split would be a outpricing yourself out of the fight, aka Tyson Fury may try to do this, as well know Usyk and his team are not full of ****.
    What you guys think ?
    50-50 ?
    55-45 ?
    60-40 ?
    65-35 ?

    55-45


    in Usyk's favor of course.


    To be fair, if it happens this will probably take place in the UK. Which most of the support and the PPV money comes from the Bri'ish fans.
    So, despite Usyk now being the unified champ and Fury being a mere beltholder (if he would still have the WBC belt at that point), I guess the split should be slightly in favor of the big dosser.

    Usyk - deserves the bigger split really. Has 4 belts (IBF, WBA, WBO and Ring) . Does Fury still have the WBC after WBC president confirmed that Tyson told him he is retiring.?

    WBC have given Fury a time till Friday to take a decision. But they will not force him. He may decide to take voluntary or time off and WBC won't do a s****. He nees to aay though is he retired or not.

    Anyway i think 50-50 is a fair split and rematch clause is a must. Winner take 60-65 in the rematch.

    No bull****, just give them 50/50.

    Fury is a bigger name than Usyk. He's bigger in the UK and the USA.

    50/50 no b/s, no stalling or tactics, just ****ing make the fight happen.

    Usyk is a money man now and he's finally earning purses worthy of his talent and accomplishments. It's criminal how little was being paid down at CW

    Usyk won't ask for more than 50% but if Fury does that will be incorrect and wrong of him

    Should be no problems with 50/50 since Fury is a fighting man who doesn't care about money. He said he'd be as happy as he is now if he were working on a farm in Salford as a nobody.

    The revenue should be divided to number of belts. 4 in this case. Then the quotient should be multiplied by the number of belts each side holds. So:

    • Revenue: 100
    • Total number of belts: 4 (not counting Ring magazine title, and there I'm doing Fury a favor)
    • Revenue per title: 100/4 = 25
    • Number of titles Usyk holds: 3
    • Number of titles Fury holds: 1
    • Usyk's share: 25*3 = 75
    • Fury's share: 25*1 = 25
    So, it should be 75 - 25 in Usyk's favor.

    Usyk is an Olympic gold medalist, a World Amateur gold medalist, and a European gold medalist

    He went undefeated giant slaying up at SHW in the WSB

    He was undisputed CW champion

    And is the current three-belt unified HW champion

    His credentials are impeccable

    Pay the man!

    That won't be fair towards Fury. Boxing should absolutely have stricter rule. I would love to have structure like UFC, but the payment for the fighters should be a lot higher. But promoters will be pretty much out of business, and it will 1000% be better and there will be a real ranking and the top will fight the top. There won't be more diva stuffs. Anyway i digress.

    So back on the topic, maybe extra 5% for the guy that holds more title, but then Fury should get an extra 5% for popularity and we are at 55-45.

    I think 50-50 will be perfect, as Usyk team won't push for more, but i they should absolutely not be happy with anything less.


    Usyk is well known in every country already, and has made huge fanbase around the World. UK fans loves him, and also Saudi will give him big money for his next fights, so it's not like he doesn't bring anything to the table.
    And as much as it's hard for Fury fans to admit it, even with this 2 extra loses, AJ is still bigger than Fury.
    I'm still waiting for that Whyte numbers, but we knows why they are not coming .....
    And let's not forget that Fury is banned in US, so he doesn't have much choice.
    If he wants more than 50%, then he can go f**** himself.

    It's 50:50

    Belts and drawing power mean nothing when the Saudis are paying

    We all know Usyk should get more

    and

    we all know Fury will price himself

    So give Fury more and burn all the bridges.
