    It shouldn't just be about commercial value though, it should be principle of being a unified champ that has beaten the better opponents.

    Usyk was undisputed at another level, and has the better victory.

    Since Wlad win in 2015, Fury has -

    1. Ducked the Wlad rematch
    2. Claimed he's still rightful lineal champ despite having one decent opponent since Wlad almost 8 years ago, Deontay Wilder.
    3. Has one decent opponent since Wlad

    In those 8 years -

    - Usyk has beaten Joshua, Breidis, Gassiev, Glowcaki, Huck
    - Become undisputed CW Champ
    - Become unified heavyweight champ
    - Everything he did, he did away from his home country.

    Usyk has done more than enough to earn a 50% pay cut against anybody, it's not just about commercial value.

    Yea, but have you ever seen Tank stand on a chair and punch? It raises his power to their level.

    Nobody cares about cruiserweight.

    It should be about principle I agree however this is professional sports entertainment not the Olympic boxing tournament.

    It’s an undisputed bout, while I agree Fury is the bigger draw I believe there should be a rule that states any undisputed fights should be split down the middle.

    The fight is for the books, whoever wins is declared the undisputed champion first time in two decades and will be etched in history.

    At this point I feel the only way Usyk draws Fury into this fight is by calling him a coward and straight up humiliate him for ducking to the point where casuals mock and laugh at Fury so he will feel forced to fight or drop the belt in a bin.

    How about Usyk and his money grubbing team taking the only real offer which is 60:40?

    Perfectly good offer

    otherwise they need to shutup and get to the front line. all talk no action. Fury is all talk all action.

    :meparto: Gone from trolling to being in your feelings, Usyk beating the gypsy out of these bois.
    You know what's what when Fury's cucks are concerned about his cowardice.

    "we must defend nandrolone at all cost!!!" :wanker

    Didn't Krassyuk just confirm that Fury turned down the most recent offer of 60:40?

    "Alex Krassyuk, promoter to Oleksandr Usyk, has claimed that

    Next it'll be Usyk must accept 20% and complete his 3 week training camp in Russia.

    See what you've still failed to compehrend is Usyk isn't the one making offers and "winner splits" is total rubbish and has never been implemented.

    Krasanov and Usyk should stick to crying on twitter...or maybe skip Fury and get chinned by Joyce or Wilder...but nah they are yapping away crying for a better deal which they'll never get! Fury should drop it to 70:30 for his whining.

    Cluck, cluck, cluck...

    Let's play a game:
    1. Which of the 2 fighters has a history of failed fight negotiations?
    2. Which of the 2 fighters is approaching UFC fighters to avoid a competitive match up?
    3. With the winner getting the bigger purse, why's 'the favourite' running? Shouldn't a middleweight be easy to beat?
    I'll give you a hint, it's the fighter that failed PED testing.

    :SimpHomer:

    Fury is certainly Ducking

    It’s very obvious now.
