Ryabinskiy has far more money then Hearn so I wouldn't bet on it
nobody has more money or intelligence than hearn are you out of your mind? hearn is the modern day Jesus Christ!
Joshua will drop a belt before that happens and Povetkin will be out of his huge payday so theres not going to be any struggle who has more money .
Hearns not going to agree to fight in Russia under any circumstances .
Good point, didn't really consider him just dropping the belt
It's interesting... I do think there is more money to holding the fight in England... BUT... there is no way Povetkin gets a fair decision there.
In Russia they would be far more fair.
It really ought to end in a KO and I think that would happen anyway.
Ryabinskiy is not opposed to having the fight in the UK either... but his preference would be for Russia.
Would be awesome if they get it for Russian Boxing Day for middle of July... even better if they get it to pair up with WBSS Gassiev/Osyk.
Who you picking?
I don't know what Povetkin is worth, especially without PEDS,
but based on the eye test and opponents shared with others "elite" HW:
-he did a lot better than Miller and even Wilder versus Duhaupas, offensively and defensively.
-Povetkin also put to sleep Takam wich Parker and Josh couldn't.
I guess he was full roided for those fights.
But dude brings something to the table, at least power and aggressiveness.
He looked garbage in his only loss vs Vlad but I got a feeling he's a more dangerous fighter than Parker.
In London, I think AJ takes a decision by fighting conservatively. In Russia, anything goes...
I'm not trying to belabor a stereotype, but they had STATE MANDATED doping FFS. Anything could happen.
I thought Povetkin would catch Wilder and KO him and the same could happen to AJ very easily. However, Povetkin does seem slower and more vulnerable now. Even in Russia, I'd favor AJ a little based on youth. If he gets caught though, I have no faith in his chin.
There's a reason Wlad smothered and held Povetkin relentlessly the whole fight. The dude is very dangerous.
You think that fight is going to Russia? Bet it doesn't. They'll fight in London, they make more money that way.
Yes, especially if Hearns cuts some of his cut from tickets he scalps from AJ fights and gives them to thw Russians to keep them from taking it to Russia plus on top of still making lots of money where AJ and Hearna of course prefers!
I can see it that way cuz if it goes to a bid, no way Hearns is beating the Russians!
Hearn already said Joshua isn't fighting in Russia.
We'll see about that, look like your still worshipping every word Hearns utters out his lying mouth!
He must be paying PEDvetkin a pretty penny under the table to disallow Ryanbinsky from wanting a bid since we all know Hearns ain't got nowhere near the pockets that them Russians have!
Let's be honest if it goes to a bid, Hearns is sending AJ to Moscow like it or not!
In his fight vs Wlad he was a different fighter... conditioning was not present.
If you watch any Russian media or his trainer's interviews, Povetkin's core is year round conditioning.
I think started take some PED after that loss too, his body, face, neck changed.

Ah okay.
I do think Hearn and Ryabinski already have a deal on the table... but Hearn is under the gun now to make something happen with Wilder and I bet Wilder's folks are waiting it out...
Although Wilder's folks are risking if AJ does fight Povetkin and loses belts... AJ vs Wilder still a great fight.. BUT AJ's worth a lot less now as Wilder would be defending.
Quite interesting.
The bid will be pretty damn big by both guys and no matter where it happens, Moscow or London... it will sell out 80k.
It is a really dangerous fight for AJ though... Povetkin has nothing to lose... his only loss is to Wlad from years ago, and even if he does lose to AJ, he is still #2 or 3 HW.
I'm really, REALLY curious what happens here. Boxing stars have a way of making inconvenient mandos go away but I know Povetkin's people will out bid just about anyone and won't step aside.

That pressure is looming. I pretty much assured that these guys have a bunch of plans. If it gets to hairy they will vacate. I don't see Hearn giving up control from his star
Not sure but i do know AJ is fuked when he has to fight in Moscow, LOL them Russians aren't gonna let him leave with those belts!
