They might try and squeeze as much juice out of this lemon as possible.

OmegaGene

18/1 on odds checker

Fury 19/20

Usyk evens

OmegaGene

this interview was done just after the morecombe press conference, fury seems to be relaxed and his normal self without the bravado

Fury arrived to Riyadh yesterday I think. Warren says he’s in great shape physically and mentally.

OmegaGene

videos of him accepting gifts with his team on Friday night came out on Instagram

OmegaGene

U.K. price here so I’m guessing €30 for us

OmegaGene

planned date for the fury v Usyk rematch

And Canelo-Crawford Dec/Jan looks possible.

Dazn promo out tonight, it’s not great so far

Anything could happen with the Saudi crowd, look how quickly skills challenge was scrapped, if we can get fury v Usyk 1 and maybe 2 I will be happy 👍🏻

walshb

Any accurate idea on what Fury and Usyk will earn for this fight? So, do they get a flat fee for fighting, and a PPV cut of the sales? We looking at 75-100 million? And, are they both 50-50 here as regards money to be made? Or is it 70-30 Fury…?

OmegaGene

deals done directly with turki for each fighter there’s no split as such he just said fight for x amount ? They say yes or no

Rumour fury is getting 100m but wether that is £ or $ nobody knows

OmegaGene

interesting how the money rises for Usyk when he’s fighting fury, I thought he would have got more for beating Aj, Usyk will have to pay more to the ibf etc they all want a slice of the pie

Part of the rise is as much to do with the magnitude of the fight as it is to do with AJs name and Fury's name. Both undefeated and both holding ALL the belts; for the unification….this a big factor in the enormity of the fight

I really hope we get Fury-AJ. That likely even does bigger financials…..be an absolute sham if AJ and Fury never fight, both pros years and years now

eagle eye

Why do we need a second Fury v Usyk fight before the first one even happens?

If Fury knocks him out that should be the end of it. If Usyk wins by landslide decision that should be the end of it.

The rematch clause is a fooking nonsense here.. as if they’re not getting already an obscene amount a money

Its standard in any fights of this size,

Anything can happen in there , you can lose in the strangest of circumstances & the through judges cheating

You don't want something out of the ordinary to happen & then the winner decides not to fight you again ,

OmegaGene

the rematch clause would need to be activated by the loser, they are not obliged to rematch if they get hammered, there will be a date to apply and if not they move on

If the fight is crap turkie might sack it off anyway

Zhang didn’t bother with the Parker one so far

Judges cheating? As in proven cheating, or just "we don't agree with the decision?"

Anyway, I realize rematch clauses happen, but it's pathetic that these two have yet to even fight (with all the delays) and they're on about fight 2…..

We all know judges cheat ,

Like Glenn Feldman in the Usyk v Aj fight , you can't possible believe he didn't try & cheat,

You may not like it but its part of the sport its not new , its part & parcel of big fights, lets not forget massive fights haven't l happened because terms of the rematch can't be agreeed before the first fight ,

Cheating must mean deliberate corruption. Unless you have clear evidence, then no, we can’t always know.

Sounds like you’re one who claims “cheating” anytime there is a “controversial’ decision.

Teddy Atlas always at it.

There is controversial decisions & decisions you might not agree with & then there is judges that are clearly being paid off,

Ones like Eugine Williams in Lewis v Holyfield fight m In one round think it was 5 ? she gave it to Evander when he landed 11 shots to Lewis 43

I am not saying cheating doesn’t happen. But it’s not as common as some people try to bandy about

squinn2912

some judges are either cheating or incredibly inept. Either way there’s far too much riding on it. Any word on who is the ref?

walshb

Only 9 days left. Think we should throw out our predictions.

Usyk split decision: 116-112, 113-115, 115-113

Draw very possible: Split, majority or unanimous!!!!!

alan partridge aha

Fury in 8 TKO

Panthro

Head says Fury to win.

Heart wants Usyk to put Fury on his backside.

So Usyk!
