    He was changing the criteria. Still plenty of time for him to dream up a new problem.

    Agree. This man is one amazing fighter, and an incredible person, on top of it

    His asking for Fury to pay the Ukrainian people, instead of more for himself…..that says a lot about the kind of compassionate, commend individual he is

    No way Fury donates a dime to Ukraine. It will end up Fury stiffs them and Usyk has to decide whether to still fight at 70-30.

    He parrots the same bs in every post. Even in threads that have nothing to do with Fury.

    Why are you and so many Usyk fans on here seemingly so annoyed that Fury-Usyk is going to happen?

    The fight has basically been confirmed now, yet you’re still complaining?

    Are you guys fans of boxing, or are you just fans of Usyk?

    So, I gather this means Usyk has just said he accepts the 30% and his own terms are that Fury pays £1m to the Ukraine. Further to that for every day Fury delays accepting 1% comes off Fury's purse and again goes to the Ukraine.

    i.e.
    Fury donates £1m to Ukraine, plus:
    10/03 Fury 70 - 30 Usyk
    11/03 Fury 69 - 30 Usyk (1% Ukraine)
    12/03 Fury 68 - 30 Usyk (2% Ukraine)
    13/03 Fury 67 - 30 Usyk (3% Ukraine)
    And so on,
    until Fury formally accepts...

    Fury is a classless SOB.

    yeah, i dont have a problem with people doing their thing, and being who they are. but me doing my thing, being who i am, im gonna tell you what i think about it. his posts, for the most part, are just a repetition of every other post he makes. it may have been tolerable the first few dozen times, but years of it is just asking too much. everyone got the joke long ago.
    not saying he should be permabanned, its just me saying what i feel about the situation. he could come back saying im an *******, and i wouldnt argue it. but i also contribute some positive things to this here community. i would love to see him offer something different as well.

    I'm not being funny, but if Fury accepts the terms and then doesn't donate to Ukraine, that would be a very dangerous thing to do.

    Of course he might just not accept the terms at all, and the fight will be off, and with it, a lot of Fury's fanbase.

    Big props to Usyk. I think 60-40 Fury was fairer. Even 50-50 was reasonable. What can we do? Not much.

    We seem to be in an era where most fighters, and it seems HWs are among the worst, only care about positioning themselves to maximize the $$$$$. Some of these HWs are mid 30s and older and they fight once per year. While not as old as it was 50 years ago, it's still getting up there.

    Fighters act like Father Time might lose a fight. I think he'll remain undefeated forever.

    I’ve always considered Fury to be a greedy and full of **** person, so this offensive offer doesn’t surprise me at all.

    Not a financially smart move from Usyk but my respect for him increases nonetheless.

    Fury is getting more than he deserves so props to him for winning the business battle. Respect to Fury for deciding a lot of money is better than no money and not turning this into any more of a waiting game.

    Terence Crawford and Errol Spence ... this is how it works. Which one of you really wants the fight?

    Crawford will never concede.
