The very public nature of these negotiations have made the split a huge issue. Usyk does deserve 50% but as always the alphabets have remained passive. When Usyk fought AJ he recieved 20% first time around and 50% as defending champion, Andy Ruiz Jr recieved less than 20% as champion. Holyfield held Lewis to almost 70:30, so this degree of bargaining is not new. The public profile has allowed all the fan boys to pour scorn on every exchange. Its not right but its nothing new. This fight will go ahead, the latest rematch nonsense is Fury getting Usyk unsettled and wound up, which is exactely what Wladimir warned him about. Wembely Stadium booked, Fury biggest purse of his career and a chance to make history, he will not blow that.
A 30% split in an undisputed fight to someone like Usyk who has 3 of the 4 world titles, and the background he has as an undisputed cruiserweight champion, is a total disgrace. Warren & Fury have not treated Usyk with the respect that he deserves.
Usyk's promoter emphasised that this agreement was only for April 29th at Wembley Stadium - which I presume means that any change to this date, and/or venue, will cause a re-negotiation of the split.
What’s up w Haney and Loma??

Great break down of the events that led up to the agreement.
The Twitter world was a disaster zone yesterday reading tweets from individuals with no real knowledge of the fight or the circumstances behind it.
All of the sudden a couple of pots are coming off the stove!!
