TYSON FURY and Anthony Joshua could split a staggering £60million in pay-per-view wages alone.
Talks are officially underway between the heavyweight pair for what would be an unlikely Battle of Britain.
Fury’s promoter Frank Warren, who claimed an offer will be officially be sent in writing, backed the super-fight to sell 2MILLION PPVs.
And if the box office price point took an expected hike to £30, that means with two million sold, at least £60m is generated already.
Fury, 34, took the unusual step of publicly revealing what he offered Joshua, 32, by claiming he would give the challenger 40 per cent.
So if Warren’s numbers are correct, the champion would walk away with £36m and AJ taking a handsome £24m.

Usyk called Fury out in what would be the heavyweight division’s first four-belt heavyweight unification.
But the Ukrainian hero has ruled himself out until next year after returning to his war-torn home and family for the first time.
Whereas Fury is not willing to wait around and wants to return by the end of the year and therefore turned his attention to Joshua.
