Fury reportedly declined 60-40 for the winner

I still think this happens by the end of the year. Fury knows how damaging this will be if he doesn't take the fight.

 

I think Fury doesn't give a **** what people think, or worry about people calling him names. Yea he looks like crap after all the things he has said and now things dragging out. That's him though and his personality is all contradictions. Don't let that fool you though that he's scared of Usyk or that it will be an easy fight. He knows time is on his side and can jerk Usyk and us fans around.

Another thing, he will not let Usyk dictate things, too much ego, and team Usyk need to stop with the clown offers of "We'll fight for free", "Winner takes all or 60%" or other BS. Things are not usually done that way for the biggest fights. They all want to get guaranteed pay. Hi promoter Assyusyk or whatever his name is just need to take that 60-40 Fury, or counter with 55-45, etc.

Lastly, Usyk needs to stay active and fight by April, Fury or no Fury. Don't waste whatever is left of your career.

 

I agree that it won't be fear per se. Personally, it looks like Fury has made a calculation of what he believes he is worth. He has a figure in his head of what he wants in order to risk the gravy train he is on.

Fury is keeping very quiet because he knows anything he does say will be used as a stick and has the potential to damage his future earnings.

He wants Usyk to basically buy the final belt. Otherwise he thinks he can squeeze out a few more A-side pay days against easy opponents, maybe throw in the bumper Joshua fight too. It's no skin off his nose if Usyk ages in the interim and loses his titles, he can just keep saying, "I'm lineal", "of course that guy wouldn't beat me", and never even fight.

It's basically The Money Mayweather approach, but without the Pretty Boy Floyd period to fall back on.

 

Assuming Fury degraded in behavoir and got greedy, I've no problem with that. Unlike you, I am not spiritually (or **exually) attached to any fighter, as I don't give a f*** about them in the end, but how abot the entire content of the interview and in particular the below:
6:20 - Krassyuk says there was no split, but personal agreement. This is poor on Saudi's side and can trickily be used as a way to lower the other fighter's amount, thus intentionally failing the fight. But in any way, Usyk agreeing on something doesn't mean Fury has to agree or the other way around.
7:10 - he says there're some other reasons that led to this fight failing on Saudi's side.
10:38 - Krassyuk confirms he has to work for the best, not the biggest option for Usyk. True, that's why he's a manager, can't blame him for that. Then he says that this means even accepting poor split as in the 1st AJ fight. Then explains how they fight for legacy, for glory. Suddenly, now they however aim for the biggest option, not the best - how about that, but not quoting selectively? I know you've tickles on behind and you'll reply me with something very smart, deep and bla-bla-whatever, but here are the words of Krassyuk and their actions. Sure, I consider Fury's ones as well. Sorry.

By the way, I never start insulting a forum member because of a fighter's preference, that's childish and stupid. Ask yourself why people don't argue over the thread of the most beautiful dark hair girl - surely what I find pretty is sometimes ugly for others and the opposite, right? So peace, if you like.

 

In true Fury cult member fashion, self-contradictory statements a few sentences apart. Absolutely brilliant, keep it up, mate.

 

70/30 it is then ......Well this thread ended up being a bit silly didnt it.
