Dunno what the alleged split is but I'm telling ya Die- Hygovic has zero $$ appeal so it's a split of sweet FA.
Dave Allen has more appeal in UK
All risk for little reward.
The reward is possible mandatory for IBF .... a title fight which could still be 15-24 months down the track.

Split is 75-25 to Hrgovic

They're treating him like a CHAMP

No wonder no-one will fight him

That split is re'dick
Maybe they don't want a competitive fight ...

Yes, a stupid, re'dict split for sure. What is the IBF's problem? No one but a fool would go near that. All this is is the two highest ranked fighters in the IBF fighting for a mandatory. Nothing more.

When something doesn't make sense, there's always more to the story. Now I understand. Can't believe the IBF is that stupid. Don't they want a competitive fight? Thinking about it, what does the IBF have to gain by a re'dict split? Not like money is going into their pockets from the split? Or is it?

IBF Champ-=Usyk

1. NOT RATED

There is always more than meets the eye. 
Nothing is done without someone getting a slice of pie, who is it though??
Keeping Hygovic protected species... telling the public he is the most ducked/feared HW on the planet.....

It must be some rule they have about an "eliminator"

Weird - I don't get it

[bart]

should be dam near 50/50
60/40 at most - its not a title fight

[Kiwi]

I think it is only 75-25 if Hrgovic is ranked 2nd
with the IBF

Which should be the case as of this month

[diehard]

Kiwi, haven't seen the split on any ESB articles. Are you finding your info in the forums from people in the know???
