    Usyk when he realizes he's only getting $5m instead of $30m to slap up another bodybuilder:

    So who will be the last minute replacement if Dubois gets injured close to the fight? Because he looked injured during his last fight.

    Why Poland ? Seems a bit random.

    Because Poland is Ukraine’s most fervent supporter. It’s for propaganda purposes.

    Closest thing to a Ukraine home fight for Usky.

    Poles are divided, if they want to support ukrainians or not. If you know the history, you know why.

    Usyk will have pressure on him for sure.

    Because he cannot fight in Ukraine. Ukrainian football teams play in Poland also.

    They see it as a well deserved and long overdue home fight for Usyk. Obviously they can't actually stage it in Usyk's actual homeland now but there are more than 2 million Ukrainians living in Poland and apparently over 200,000 living in that region

    Firstable it's Fury who rejected 60m. to fight Usyk in Saudi. The Wembley fight was never going to generate 30m. Also Fury first say it was 17m. then his father claims 20m., aha they are typical like you lying and twisting reality.

    But didn't you and your hero claimed that Usyk will fight Dubois for less than 1 million?

    And now are crying that Usyk is getting 6m. ? Typical from you.

    Also this is the guarantied purse. Usyk is not tied to any Network, so they sold the TV Rights to BT, which means more money for Usyk smarty.
    The point of winning Purse bid is to win it with the least amount of money, so the money you get on top are going to be for your promotional company and your fighter, not for the opponent.

    This is logical, but ...

    Fury has nothing to do with my joke. Not sure why you're talking about him.

    At least they were smart enough to get it out of the UK, so it's unlikely Usyk can get robbed.
    His manager isn't the most astute guy though, or just corrupt. Because if your fighter almost gets robbed twice by a Hearn fighter and then you claim to 'have a good relationship with Eddie', there is something going wrong.
