Fury and Arum Holding Up Fury-Usyk, They Don't Think Usyk Deserves 50%

The longer it drags on the more I smell a duck.

 

Is that the official standpoint of the congregation?

 

Absolutely he should give Usyk 50/50 out of honour, champion resume, 'fellow Christian family man' etc. Especially when he's always trying to give POS Chisora a 'pay day'.
We have the slime Arum and Warren element that could be making that split more difficult, but Fury should still be able to override them.
But we'll have to see what the facts are.

 

Fury knows he is almost done, will be climbing in with head and shoulders the best opponent he has ever had.

 

I actually agree that it might not be Fury's personal demands per se, but a combination of them alongside those of Arum, Warren, and other invested interests. I suspect the issue with the Saudis would have been one of TV rights, and then throw in Fury (according to his dad) wanting to be paid more (probably demanding a purse of similar magnitude to Joshua).

Whilst Joshua got a large purse from the Saudis, we need to remember that DAZN didn't get the broadcast rights for the UK. Usyk will likely have just asked for the TV rights for the Ukraine alongside his flat fee. In contrast, Fury is attached to not one, but two networks: ESPN and BT Sports. That will definitely have been a sticking point for them given they have basically been financing Fury up until now. And who knows how much MTK are still involved.

I think this is what the Saudi negotiator was hinting at the other day when he suggested that there were too many parties, that had been promised too many things, to make it workable.

 

So Fury is great and the future of boxing is a 37 year old.... And both happen to come from the same country as you ... Ha Ha....

It is a duck and if he ducks this it will be part of his legacy....

Future of heavyweight boxing is more likely somebody like Frank Sanchez.... And not an old man

 

Remember fury bragging about how quick you sign for a fight and it really is that easy
Wilder 1
Lol
And here he is with his half still not signed
Tells you all you need to know

 

Jump onboard the Fury bashing bandwagon. I personally could care less about this fight, it's a mismatch.

 

Actions speak louder than words.... And he is taking now aciton

 

AND.... I used to be a fan of Fury... But at the moment he makes it really hard to be a fan....

 

What? Dude you are completely over selling Usyk. How many Usyk fans do you think would go to Wembley? If he fought Whyte tommorow, Dillian Whyte would draw more fans to Wembley than Usyk. Stop dreaming mate. Would you be going to Usyk Fury??

If Usyk is such a draw, wheres K2s offers to Furys team? They managed to pull Fury to Dusseldorf in 2015, right?? Usyk has three belts FFS and still doesnt make any counter offers. Krassyuk has said he wont move from 50%, check the vids/interviews with him.

C'mon boy, talk some actualy sense. In the UK, Fury could fight Wilder again and it would sell out 90k+ at Wembley, just like the Whyte fight, and just like the Usyk fight would. I'm not saying its the bigger fight at all, undisputed is the real purists big one, but it is what it is. If you dont like it buddy, maybe try to get Usyk some more fans yourself, cos' the AJ clowns in here are doing a terrible job so far.

 

Casual fans just fuel the Fury train.

 

The sad reality is, Usyk v Bellew did more PPVs than Fury's best effort against Klitschko. His last Wilder PPV doing around 300k in Britain.

Fury can certainly fill Wembley, given the right opponent, but outside of Dubai and Vegas (in a country he can't enter), the real money is in PPV. So logically, for him to make demands based on a live gate, he would have to make up one heck of a short fall. The only way to do that in a British venue would be to charge fans a premium on the idea that this is an Undisputed fight... and that needs Usyk.

 

How old is Usyk ? 36 ? Not old enough for Fury.
