Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Povetkin is Heating Up, Purse Bid is Likely

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A mandatory fight between WBA heavyweight champions Wladimir Klitschko (59-3, 50KOs) and Alexander Povetkin (25-0, 17KOs) is likely heading to a purse bid. Since 2008, the match went to a purse bid on two occassions. Both times K2 Promotions was able to outbid Povetkin's promoter, Sauerland Event. The World Boxing Association gave both sides until January 17th to reach a deal or a purse bid would be called.

I have a bad feeling Povetkin-Klitschko won't happen because of the conflicting TV contracts.

Almost as good as Mayweather-Pacquiao not happening because of drug tests.

That would truly suck.

Given K2 wins a purse bid I suppose RTL will own the tv rights, it would then take some time to put the fight itself on its feet, maybe early summer 2013.

Exactly. Another pathetic excuse.

It shouldn't be a massive problem. It's only a matter of throwing ARD something like £50'000 to insure the fight is shown on RTL. Haye had a contract with ARD at the time of Klitschko Haye and yet that fight happened on RTL and we all know just how much of a stroppy **** Haye is.
