Dibella said it's happening even if it's in Russia.

On #WilderPovetkin, Loudibella: 'If they put fight in Russia then I hope Mr. Putin can personally attend so he can watch Sasha get KO'd'.. im already excited

[-PBP-]

Povetkin team wins Wilder purse bid: $7.15 million. DiBella only other bid offered $5,101.00.42. Wow! #boxing

Less than half of what I guessed

That's a weird bid on Dibella's part. Sounds like they got bad information. Boxtime must have texted him that Team Povetkin was going to bid $5,100,000.

Well Wilder gets 70%.

Interesting. I expected DiBella to go higher.

I do not think they cared about winning the purse bid, knowing Wilder would get 70% of the purse.

Well Wilder gets 70%.

Wilder will get around 4.5m if he loses (63%)
Or around 5.2m if he wins (73%)

[ИATAS]

lightweight shocked the winning bid was only $7m. For some reason i thought it would be in the $15m-$20m range
