Bob Arum, co-promoter of the WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury, spoke about the financial nuances of the deal between his ward and the world champion according to WBA/WBO/IBF versions Alexandra Usika.
“There is no distribution of fees. Prince Turki negotiated a fee for Usik and Fury. They were both pleased with the money offered. They are not stupid. They don't look at how much their opponent earns, because they don't care. They are happy to receive the amount they originally expected. That's how it should be.
Is it correct to say that Fury will earn more than a hundred million dollars for this fight? No. I said that for this fight, for the fight with Ngannou and what awaits him next, he can confidently count on 200 million in the relatively near future,” Arum said in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
