    Belly should have zero problems accepting a 60/40 split to the winner offer. Zero.

    He already holds massive physical advantages over Usyk

    Like 50lbs in weight

    6'' in height or a significant amount if not quite that much

    And a 7'' reach advantage

    An age advantage

    And home advantage

    They can't fight in Usyk's homeland because there's a freaking war raging over there

    Everything is in his favour and against Usyk and they combine to make it far more difficult for Usyk to win

    The deck is heavily stacked in Belly's favour

    Even if Usyk does enough to win fair and square the chances of him getting robbed are way higher than they are Belly getting robbed

    Belly has the luxury of knowing if trying to outbox or knock Usyk out via the use of legal tactics isn't working he will be allowed to maul, hold and foul the crap out of him

    He told us it's an easy fight for him and that a good big man will always best a good little man

    Usyk stands to lose 3 belts and only win 1

    Fury only risks losing 1

    Usyk is 36 and even Father Time is Belly's corner

    Again. Everything is in Belly's favour but he wants Usyk to bend over backwards and spread his cheeks for him :facepalm:

    They agreed on 50/50 and then just as I predicted Belly started putting roadblocks in the way

    Pay the man you big greedy ducking shithouse :facepalm:

    So, you acknowledge it's a genuine offer. :eek:

    So Fury is not only ducking Usyk, but Ngannou too?
    Wasn't Fury fighting Wilder? Or was it Ngannou? Or was it Joyce? :eek:

    :eek:

    Miniq is shook to his boots.

    Boxing in general is a joke at this point. And people wonder why MMA gains more interest nowadays, the best boxers will never fight eachother!

    To be honest I don’t see why Fury is opposed to 60-40 in favour of the winner. Fury thinks he is worth 60% of the purse and he has the potential to receive it if he comes out as the winner, so it doesn’t sound like he’s quite as confident as he’d like you to believe.

    Purse splits are usually based on a combination of merit and popularity/fame. In terms of merit Usyk has the edge, with 3 belts to Fury’s 1. Some may argue they have achieved an equal amount at heavyweight, however. Nonetheless the belts are important here and I’d still say Usyk has him in this regard.

    It’s true that Fury is the more popular fighter (although not as big a star as some claim). However the fight will make a lot of money not because of Fury himself but because of the fact that it’s a unification bout between the two to decide the undisputed heavyweight champion. So in terms of who is generating the money in this situation there isn’t that much in it.

    Combine those two factors and 60-40 is the most generous you can be with Fury. If he wants the fight that much then I’m sure he’d accept a slightly lower split or even this 60-40 split for the winner. As it stands it does indeed look like a duck from Fury which doesn’t actually surprise me.

    Not just MMA. Even the YouTube boxing scene gives their fan base the fights they want to see. Boxing (real boxing) is the most broken sport in the world. It feels like it is still in the dark ages compared to other sports.

    You cant fix it if nobody is forcing them to fight the fights we want to see.

    There we have it. Thank you, good sir.

    See you later @MAD_PIGE0N :chuck:
    Take ol boy Miniq with you for ducking the ban bet.

    The thread may be gone, but @bandeedo can confirm that @miniq is to pack his belongings. Fury tapes and all.

    I already have a ban bet. A ban bet I can't ever lose if Fury never fights Usyk. 200IQ.

    I can see Joshua getting another tilt at this rate or Joe Joyce. Fury is just too cowardly sadly.
