    Yep.£15 million has been quoted. I know I sound like a prick saying AJ shouldn’t take step aside , easy to turn down £15 million when it’s not you being offered it and all that. And would I truly turn it down?
    But it’s not about the monetary figure, it’s what stepping aside means mentally and professionally.
    It’s a step closer to admitting that you can’t win . It’s not a good look.

    Even Diane Abbot could do the maths on this one, £15m for doing bugger all, a warm up fight against an acceptable stiff, and a megamoney fight against the Fury/Usyck winner. Pension plan nicely sorted, then media training for life after boxing.

    This offer is relatively low for AJ to step aside. AJ generates far more money than that and he should only consider it if they triple it.

    AJ will be losing control and power if he takes the money.

    Arum and Fury will get that money back and more when they win the title and negotiate a fight with AJ. They will effectively bend Anthony over and give it to him good.

    Do not take the offer!
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    As said above. 15 million to step aside then fight the winner anyway. Why not.

    I've never really looked at purse splits over the years so no idea what Fury, if he beat Usyk, could potentially demand?
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
