I agree with this article in general

Fury can't just do what's right and box. He has to try to control things before the outset and make unreasonable demands.

"How much more serious could Usyk have shown himself to be when he accepted the smaller half of a 70-30 revenue split? That's practically unheard of. Go back to 1971 when Muhammad Ali, who in his career was 100 times more popular and well known than Fury will ever be, agreed to a 50-50 split to fight Joe Frazier in New York on March 8, 1971. That remains perhaps the most iconic bout in boxing history, but it wouldn't have happened had Ali made grotesque financial demands."

Indeed. Fury is no Muhammad Ali on a global cultural or societal level. Not even a fraction of the icon that was Ali.

Add to that boxing isn't even the prevailing combat sport in this era, and it's widely known there are plenty of guys walking around who are 5"8 170 Ibs who could take Fury down, break his skinny legs and there's nothing he could do about it. And yet he is acting like he is considered "the baddest man walking the earth".

He needs to take a reality check, check his ego and take these fights rather than taking easy meaningless bouts with his mates like the Chisora 'trilogy'.

Greedy Belly done fucked up.
i get the feeling some Fury fans are now Usyk fans.
ill always enjoy his boxing and admire his skills as a fighter, but as a person he has shown an ugly and miserly side of himself that is really off putting. i do not see how he regains all of the fans' goodwill after this. and thats probably the most crucial and fragile resource to manage as a famous personality.

None of those guys are taking Fury down. The Jake Paul experienced proved that.

watch when Joshua knocks this guy out in a round tomorrow and then sets up a fight with Fury

It will be the biggest thing since sliced bread, and Usyk will be an afterthought
 
He's not the first, funny thing is, whenever a guy like Fury, or Hopkins or Mayweather piss off the fans, funny thing is, someone still shows up pay for their next fights. It's kinda the Ali school of promotion, people want to see them lose I guess. Lots of fighters went from popular to hated. Sugar Ray Leonard never again got to his status before he started dicking around his opponents. His lawyer resorted to just saying, "the fans should just enjoy Ray while he's still around". Very unpopular and still is.

I don't even see Fury fighting Joshua. I really don't. Unless his stock has truly hit rock bottom he might be forced to but I don't think that has happened. The general public is really disappointed and rightly blaming him but I don't think he gives a rat's ass about that. He just wants easy fights for a nice payday nowadays. Why take the tough fights when he can get paid well to fight lesser opposition? It's the Bud Crawford method.

eddie hearn's been saying he and george warren have a deal ready to go, providing joshua performs tomorrow?

Funny. Just the other day I read that Warren said Eddie was full of shit. They did talk about making the fight again but the conversation was only for like 30 minutes or less. I don't see it happening. Fury just had a chance to fight Joshua a few months ago. He wasted their time like he did with Usyk and his people. Could that change if Joshua beats Franklin? Perhaps. But, I wouldn't bank on it.

Edit. Here. This is only from a few days ago. ‘Absolute b****cks’ – Frank Warren dismisses Eddie Hearn’s claim about fresh Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua contract talks

Yeah, seems crazy but money makes fools of us all. Thats it, the foundations of the deal are in place, from the last time. tbh after all the bullshit who could he fight? Gonna have to be either AJ or Joyce or he's getting laughed out of town.

Check my last post. I edited it and added a source with Warren saying Hearn was full of it. Both are dishonest but Fast Eddie seems to be the one bullshitting here. He'll likely fight Joyce next. It's already been rumored for the Summer at Wembley provided that Joyce beats Zhang.

I know. They hate working together because they're bitter rivals within the same domestic market. George does seem like a decent chap. I don't really know much about him. Eventually though he'll be the one running Queensberry Promotions full-time once Frank steps down just as we saw Eddie take the reins from his father Barry.
 
Boxing need these kind of mainstream big fights. Unfortunately, they are not happening anymore.

But besides Bud anybody banks on his fights? Maybe its promoters problem paying too much for stupid fights?

If Usyk was offered 70/30 imagine what AJ is being offered, no belts and 3 losses.

You could be right. The way I see it is AJ-Fury would sell really well, so he should get similar like 70-30. Both parties are money hungry it seems, so I don't think they meet in the middle and find a deal to agree on.
