  2. No, Arum is right, he doesn't deserve 50%, he should accept less

    This post is so cancerous and ESPN hot take I don't even know where to start.

    First belts are not the big issue. The issue was Joshua was coming off back to back losses and lost tons of value. No one thinks he can beat Fury now including you.

    The Fury fights didn't draw much because he was fighting people who everyone knew he would destroy. No one cared about Wilder 3 because we already seen him beat on him twice.

    AJ vs Usyk 2 draws money because it was a revenge fight for AJ and competitive, it mattered.

    You can criticize Fury for not making the Usyk fight happen. But this is Skip Bayless levels of trolling. Slow down and use some context.

    Has Joshua sold out the O2 for his next fight yet?

    You think that more people in the world know who Usyk is than Fury or that he would draw more money? Just say yes so I can move on knowing I'm talking to a moron.

    Walk down any street and ask people if they know Fury and Usyk and see the response you get.

    Tell Usyk that Whyte got 20% and he'll sign that contract faster than you can say "AJ is a bodybuilder"

    From a boxing fan perspective it should be 50/50.

    From a draw and marking perspective it should be 60/40. Fury is the bigger name for drawing in casuals. This shouldn't be hard to understand.

    My feeling is that even if Fury didn't want the fight, he knows he has to take it for his reputation, that the fallout would be all against him if the fight fell through and AJ would look like the guy who 'took the challenge' in comparison, which Fury would hate.

    He's not stupid (by boxer standards), and knows there is pressure on him not only to take the fight but also to win.

    I would be very surprised if he let it get away.

    When you state something, you need numbers to be backing that claim.
    I'm still waiting for the numbers.

    And yeah Usyk is known everywhere now. Especially after the War, and the 2 AJ fights.

    And i'm not a 15 years old noob like you, to even thinking of doing stupid things like suggested by you, aka walking on the street asking if anyone know who Usyk or Fury is. Like this will actually prove anything, but if you actually have a brain, you would have known how stupid that is.

    The reality is Fury fans is just copy/pasta what their fat Hero state. This is his words. Can't you think of something by your own ?

    Even your hero best friend Chisora exposes him that he was greedy, and there was great offer from the Saudi, that Usyk signed, and Fury is greedy and didn't sign it, cause he wanted more money.

    It's all over the internet, use your brain.

    Here we go starting with what you don't do - use the brain. Show me credible info, not rumours and speculations. As "all over the internet" are things you won't like.

    By the way, how about your crying "new breed of heavyweight not fit for 12 rounds" Joshua? Did you masturbate while both of your beloved fought? Did you cry along with AJ?

    Just look at yourself - what did I ask, what was I replied by both.

    Muhahhahahahhaa. U-turn completely when Fury is in AJ shoes, typical Fury fangirls approach.

    How can you prove that AJ has lost value dummy? He just make 2 back to back top 10 PPV numbers against Usyk, how exactly he has lost his value? Try to explain it, but not with your typical fanboysm b.c., but with numbers, yeah exactly you can't.

    Why you even talking, when AJ name is in like 11 out of 15 in the top 15 UK PPV, where Fury is no where near top 10, and he doesn't have a single match in top 15.

    You know what this mean ? That AJ is a clear draw, and Fury is simply not. You can cry all you want that Fury is a name, draw, etc, but the numbers is what's backing this claims, and AJ is back up by the numbers, and Fury by his own words and your blubering, nothing else.

    He is a paper champion, as he is a paper draw.

    Nice try with no one thinks that AJ can't beat Fury, including me, but ain't working. If Fury was so confident, he actually would have made the fight and not ducking it twice already. Same story with Usyk actually.

    You can claim as much as you do that Fury will beat them, and bla, bla, bla, but action speaks volume, unlike words, and Fury action is clear, he ducked both of them, not once, but twice already !!!

    And this is facts!

    Has Fury ever had top 15 UK PPV fight ? Just checked, and the answer is no!

    Anyone with more than 2 brain cells knows that AJ is the far bigger draw + the big money comes from PPV.

    AJ has no problem sold out arenas, he has done it in the past, and he will continue doing it in the future.

    There is a month+ time for his fight, so the arena will be sold out.
