But boxing aspect aside... You gotta remember, Hryunov is a rich, rich man... And you can also just look at this as a bunch of Russian billionaires having a good night out with friends/ladies... Watching a HW championship fight, win or lose it's going to be fun to watch such a big fight and not only is their fighter getting a career pay day... But. All these man are watching this fight with the small possibility that their Fighter, A Russian Olympic gold medalist, could make for the upset of the decade in the division and go home the HW champion. Hell even a brave performance where he makes it interesting and shows heart will make him a national hero (maybe not that extreme, but you get what I'm saying)
I see how you see it as a sheep being thrown into a lions den, but I think for everyone this is a win-win. Promoters, fans and Povetkin. Win or lose. IMO. (Assuming neither fighter suffer serious, long term injuries , health issues of course)
