Fury has to realise that once the Saudi's pulled out then the money would be a lot less, back to realistic values like they have been for the last 30 or 40 years( lets be honest he's still going to make 50 million plus i believe if it goes ahead), tbh the Saudi's have inflated the money to simply try and sportswash boxing.
For me its looking like Wembley is the only place they can put it on, Fury being British and Usyk has a decent following over here also, 60/40 to Fury is fair across the gate and pay per views. After that it's clear to me Usyk wants this fight more than Fury, which is a shame as i think Fury will win the fight quite comfortably even as good as Usyk is (a good big un beats a good little un).
Hopefully they can make the fight as there have been too many instances in boxing's past where top fighters have ducked each other, current one i want to see is Crawford v Spence but again it just isn't going to happen until its too late.
