At this point in time I really don't give a shit what he does. He put a valid offer out to AJ several months ago offering a 50/50 split if the fight could have been made by late last fall that fell through after AJ lost his prior 2 fights to Usyk and holds no belts.

Then he offers Usyk a ridiculous 30% split and the guy is the reigning current champion having beaten AJ for the title. Makes no sense.

I think he will fight on but it will be something disappointing and not even against a pure boxer. I thought the Chisora fight was pretty awful as choices go, but the next Fury outing might make me think it was a great and competitive matchup. Biggest problem for Fury's legacy will likely be Fury.

Could it be AJ? Arum and Hearn are said to have had a little chat about it.

Maybe the powers that be realize AJ won't pull down as big a payday fighting pretenders and their best option is to try to negotiate a fight with Fury and get it done.

Going by AJ's past few performances, he'll get KTFO by Fury and take that last big payday and ride off into the sunset of his career.

Even one of AJ's biggest ass kissers Tony Bellew is now saying he suspects Eddie Hearn is planning on cashing out AJ in December. If he fights Fury or Wilder it will result in a final big payday and likely an ugly end to his career.

"Tyson Fury does not want to fight Usyk. But, for a price, he will fight Usyk" - Eddie Hearn

Hearn talking in riddles again. What the heck does that even mean?

There will certainly be a price involved-----as in multi-millions of dollars for each fighter, so how much more of a price does it take to get that fight negotiated and signed????

I can't see Fury being afraid, or even concerned about fighting Usyk since he brings most of the advantages to the ring-----height, weight, reach, great chin. While I think Usyk is a superior boxer, I can't see him coming out on top if this fight is made.

Man, how I long for the old days when guys fought more than once a year----twice at best and wind up doing more talking about fighting than actually fighting.

You don't get to be a two time world heavyweight champion being scared.

Hearn is also a hard negotiator and knows full well the money has to be right to make a fight worthwhile. He is ever the hypocrite.
