[Mr. Philadel]

Reports in Russia suggest that Alexander Povetkin wants to fight WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in Moscow's Megasport Arena. The venue can hold over 14,000 fans. Povetkin's manager Vladimir Hryunov was quoted in a few reports stating that Alexander wants a Klitschko fight in Russia. [Click Here To Read More]

so in other words Povetkin doesn't wanna dance!!....there's a million ways to ***** out, Povetkin just showed us one of them!!!

Bring it to Wembley stadium and watch it get packed to 100,000+ even without any Brits fighting. :laff2:

Povetkin don't want this fight. First it was the drug testing demand now it's he wanting the fight in Moscow. Baby bro does 60,000, why would he want to go to his opponent territory that's only sit 14,000. I bet you Povetkin was praying that the Haye fight would of came off.

I could still see klit being the crowd favorite in Moscow too

[Mikhnienko]

Has this dude forgotten that he's the challenger? First he demands drug tests and now this.

plus the 2 year avoidance.

lmao 14k? damn thats pathetic

better than most Vegas fights....

14,000 people?

Can't Wlad get over 40,000 in Germany?

14 thousands? That's 6 times more than Ali vs Liston!

In Germany Wlad easily will make another 60.000 stadium filled. A fight in Russia in front of just 14.000 will be disgrace for the best boxer in the world. Sasha and his team must to shut up with their ****** demands, he is still nothing in H/W category to demand anything.

It doesnt matter where they fight as klitschko will score a knockout either way. Its going to be hilarious watching Teddy Atlas act a fool when Povetkin starts getting his ass beat and can't do anything about it but take more punches.

[Phirsole]

I think it would be very interesting in Moscow. Both are well known there and have a huge fanbase (even if Wlad is Ukrainian, and the two states have issues).

But 14,000 is not enough. Wlad sold 60,000 in his two last fights in Germany, and any arena smaller than 50,000 would mean skipped gate money. Even if the 14,000 tickets in Moscow would be sold for a steep price, it cannot compare to a full stadion.

Further, why is Povetkin - a mere challenger - is a position to make demands to the Ring champion?
