    There is at least one Fury topic per week, like at least 10 times more than those for Usyk who is supposed to be so great in every aspect in and outside of boxing. So his sectarians should have a lot to discuss.

    Where I am, there are 0. 0 regarding both. Actually there's no HW talk at all except for Anderson (he's from only 3 hours away)

    Yes Fury should get the lion's share in a fight between him and Usyk. However, Usyk is not wrong to try and maximize his value.

    I don't understand hoe holding 3 of the main belts gets you 20% of the pot. That makes no sense to me.

    Simple, how many PPV buys does Usyk bring? Usually the guy with the belts is the same one as the PPV seller. This is a rare exception to that norm.

    Both of their next fights will be a very good gauge for their next round of negotiations.

    Well the public isn't buying into Fury-Ngannou, that fight will fail massively, and if it does happen to be a tad bit successful in the buy rates, it will be because of the UFC fans. Is Usyk-Dubois a PPV fight in the states?

    Mate, when even Shane Fury and Frank Warren talked about backlash, you have to be trolling to say Fury has not lost popularity and it’s only forum talk. Have you not heard Fury’s deranged father talking about how Usyk “sneakily” swayed public opinion against his son? So uncle Fester was talking about this place, he is a member here you reckon, is that it?

    You are overestimating your personal emotions . Not being a fury fan here but the fact is his silly ngannou fight will bring way more popularity than usyks 'champions' fight against mighty dubois .

    What on Earth are you on about, what emotions, mate? I repeat: Shane Fury, Frank Warren and John Fury all talked about how the public turned against Fury. Were they lying for some reason? Because that’s pretty much what you imply when you state what they said is not actually the case. What a weird point you are trying to argue.

    Don’t know yet. The A.J. rematch was made available if you had DAZN, no PPV.

    And you like the way Fury has conducted himself as champ? We can sit here all day, and go back and forth, but Fury is the man as you stated. The deal is made or broken by him.

    It's beginning to seem like Fury has a LOT of fans who follow him for no other but homosexual reasons. Thus he still has a fan base.
