    And some of us are trying to discreetly read the board during a zoom meeting.

    When a pattern begins to develop of fights falling through due to money, they don't want the big fights. Fury fought Wilder as he could always blame it on 'one right hand' from Wilder. When it's a genuine boxer vs boxer, and the winner is the better boxer, then he runs a mile

    Usyk - Has a better resume, has more belts, and has beaten the better opponent.

    Usyk is a very poor commercial draw. There is little interest in him outside of hardcore boxing fans and the revenue he generates is peanuts. Hardly surprising him and his 'handlers' want a fair split.

    Yes there's a pattern with Belly. I been a big fan of Belly longer than most of the other Belly fans on here have and if this doesn't come off I will hold it against him forever. He's earned a goddamn fortune with his $100 million deal with ESPN and he should stop being so greedy.

    Without any prize money means that neither of them get paid anything. Nobody would fight for free whilst allowing their opponent 100% of everything (especially when that opponent is already demanding to fight at home)

    As 'Big John' said it's about principles. If you concede to one everybody will want concessions so he is right to stand his ground and seek his worth. The more money you have the more people will try and take it from you.

    Usyk is standing firm on his principles to stick to 50/50 out of respect.
    I have been watching Fury for almost 15 years now. You can tell by everything that he doesnt fancy this fight.
    If he does its all suddenly no problem no more very quik.

    By this point its probably better if he retires. Have others fight for the belt and go fight wwe fights or a youtuber rather than keeping the belt hostage and waste everyones time with Floyd tactics.

    He might get more.

    And any opponent would be easier.

    But then could never claim to be the best of his generation.

    He's beginning to resemble Floyd circa 2010....the slight favourite, but just not sure he can win, so delay, delay, delay.
