Dunno why people get so worked up about all this nonsense but they do and that’s why Tyson acts up for the cameras.
Take it all with a pinch of salt and be assured that while Tyson is in full panto mode his advisors are diligently trying to reach an agreement behind closed doors.

Would love to agree with you , and selling the fight would be a good arguement , BUT and theres always a BUT ,, Look at his history of fights not happening or falling through and it always seems to be the other guy

We don’t really know what goes on in private though. There are so many stakeholders and so many nuts and bolts to put in the right place that I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that one man is responsible when negotiations fall through.
Call me naive but I’d like to believe that the lineal champ is happy to take on all comers if the price is fair.

Hope so, let's wait and see, it's a fight I'll definitely pay for.

Well, he has certainly done a very good impression of someone not being terribly keen to box Uysk. It was interesting to see Ian Darke and Al Bernstein's thoughts on the matter; both respected journalists.
I hope this fight happens, for boxing's sake, more than anything, but I won't be absolutely confident of it going ahead until I see them both in the ring.
Interviewer: " Is the rematch clause issue resolved?"
Uysk's manager: " We expect Tyson to go live again and offer two rematches because he likes to have three fights against the same opponent"

People forget that Tyson Fury has always been a showman and more of a pro wrestler with his mindset instead of a boxer much like Muhammad Ali.
Nowadays people would tell you that Muhammad Ali was the most beloved sporting icon in history but for most of his career that was not true because he talked so much crap that you had half the world cheering whenever he lost.
And the antics were even worse when the fights were a hard sell. And even when the fights were not a hard sell Ali would do outrageous things like pulling a gun out in Manila firing blanks at Joe Frazier's apartment. He could be a downright aggravating prick and a half.
It's these kind of things that ultimately had people rattled, and Fury does it all for the same reasons. Not only to gain a psychological edge but to also draw more interest to the fights. And how can you sell a match between two baby faces? You can't. Not really.
Somebody has to be the bad guy. Somebody has to make the noise. Somebody has to put the butts in the seats. You can pretty much guarantee all of these antics over the passed 2 weeks probably created 50,000 ticket buyers easily.

Fury knows, that his standard mind games won't work against Usyk, who doesn't understand a half of it and doesn't give a f8ck about the other one. So, Fury tries to bring an illusion of sabotage of the fight.
Usyk is extremely motivated to fight only against Fury, only for the undisputed championship. Fury believes, that f8cking around purses, clauses and terms can disorient Usyk. Yet Fury ain't gonna miss an opportunity of such important fight.
Anyway, only the bout itself will show, how Tyson's strategy works out. I hope it will be entertaining. For now, let's find entertainment in the salt of the frustrated fans.
Remember, how these polls look about a year ago?
How they look like now?
What changed since then?
Lol at "I'm no longer a Fury fan" and "Fury is scared" whinings and pickings of Usyk due to personal principles instead of the objectivity.

Fury has been talked to following the insta video negative feedback. People around him have seen its backfired .. so here he is fully reigned in .. it was all a joke to sell the fight (a fight that didn't need any help at all to sell out Wembley)

I’m embarrassed now. Turning on Simon Jordan, one of his biggest supporters… “no wonder you lost £100m”. He’s completely lost the plot.
He needs someone to get a grip of the situation and make him stay off social media and/or push the fight back. He’s at his best when he’s got his head down and is kept away from the nonsense.
Properly seems to have lost the plot.
Whatever Peter’s shortcomings as a trainer, there would have been none of this. Probably why he isn’t still around.
The 2016 video about Jews and bestiality?

Agree.
But it would have sold at least 44,500 of those seats to the gypsy/traveller community alone we were reliably informed even before the Fury Instagram meltdowns.
Fury clearly been talked to. The Simon Jordan rant served no benefit to ticket sales .. but of course the pro-Fury fans not see that.

Absolutely. It's all to generate interest, how many times have we seen two fighters slag each other off and then high-fiving each other after the fight. Sometimes all this trash talk stuff is discussed between camps beforehand. Didn't Fury say he'd slap Usyk if he came near him and then done nothing when Usyk faced him after the Chisora fight. All pantomime.

If this fight does get over the line, a huge amount of respect should go to Uysk: Fury has put so many barriers in the way since Uysk beat Joshua the first time.

It seems that all it did was to remind people how full of sh1t Fury is .. not sure how that helps especially when Wembley would have sold out anyway.
*Either way of Fury's genius at lowering his reputation or Usyk skill at cornering him. Just very glad if this means the fight is going ahead.

Maybe because he knows Simon Jordan will talk about it on social media and his show, it’s all free publicity for the fight. I’m sure Fury doesn’t give a toss what people think about him
would absolutely love him to do it.
Awesome news, if true.
