    50/50

    Fury is a bigger star. Usyk has more belts.

    Put the egos away and split it down the middle.

    50-50 is fair, 2 undefeated champions, ego's need to be put aside.

    Hopefully 50-50 in the sense that the fight just gets made quickly, but I could see Fury being stubborn.

    In fairness Fury took the crown from Klitschko, and has the trilogy again Wilder.

    Usyk at this moment had two wins against Joshua.

    It's not really all that comparable. And if you did compare an opponent they had in common: Chisora, it's again to Fury's advantage.

    Add to that Fury is the second biggest earner in the division after Joshua, and whilst I personally think 50-50 is fair...will team Fury/Queensberry be that flexible?

    Fingers crossed the fight gets made sooner rather than later, but ultimately it's not my money

    It's funny how the belts don't matter until it's Usyk.

    Usyk has three belts. Actually four now because he has The Ring belt. He's been in the strap season business forever. It was gold medal season before then. Usyk, as a non-gypsy cannot contest his King of the Gypsies title so Fury is bringing a Pot Noodle to a banquet.

    He annexed his WBC/Pot Noodle belt from a dosser who forged an entire career off of crushing cans and assaulting senior citizens.

    The three belt holder gets a bigger split doesn't make sense here, Fury is the longer reigning champion, the belts around Usyk were actually Fury's originally that he never really lost, and Fury technically has already held all 4 belts in the division already, and they both only beat one single person for their belts.

    The purses should show parity (50/50), or slightly higher to Fury as this would likely be on UK soil

    Hopefully they can agree on 50/50 but let's be honest, Usyk will be the opponent just like he was v Joshua and even Bellew, he's not the draw so if anything it will be Fury who gets the bigger cut, no more than 60/40!

    Ali-Frazier 1 was 50-50
    Ali-Frazier 2 was 50-50
    Ali-Foreman was 50-50
    Holmes-Cooney was 50-50
    Wilder-Fury 1 was 60-40 (Wilder's favor)
    Fury-Wilder 2 was 50-50
    Fury-Wilder 3 was 60-40 (Fury's favor)

    People want to know how big heavyweight fights get made, it's when one guy doesn't play the "I'm the A-side ... I get everything and you take a flat fee" bull.

    50-50 all the way.

    Whilst boxing is a sport, the money comes from the show business aspects. Fairness doesn't really come into it. The split should be whatever it takes to get it made.

    Fury's not going to take less to fight Usyk than he could get to fight someone else
