So Wilder turned down 10M for Povetkin.

[Canvas]

I just went into the Hatton/Witter thread.

Hatton didn't fight witter. you didn't call it a duck. Why didn't you label that a duck? you then gave financial reasons why it was ok to wait for the fight.

In my 1st post I suggest deontay can wait to fight Povetkin for possibly more money down the road and you criticize me for it.

why the double standard?
why the difference?

Classic ****rider tactic....the diversion. Always trying to turn the tables with some contrived inconsistency. Usually phrased in the form of a question.

Sounds like a racist Mayweather zealot.

It still is. Deontay made a long term business decision, not a short term one.

Oh. Long term business decision eh? Deucktay won't be around long enough to make 10 million.

Maybe, maybe not. We will see.

excuse making rather than label it a duck as you have in every other instance a fighter doesn't take a fight. Its clear why.

I made a similar point that you did in that thread- sacrificing a short term payday for the potential of making more down the road.

Its really not that big a deal. as for the post before this, Ive been as critical of wilder as any poster on NSB despite him being a Haymon guy.

If you didn't label hatton/witter a duck then you shouldn't label this one either.

Once again, I don't label every instance a fighter doesn't take a fight a duck.

You're desperately trying to make this a general argument when it pertains to a very specific situation. And you're not doing it very well.

now im not trying to give any ideas but is there any possibility that if wilder fought fury first for less money and to get more experience/exposure, could there be any chances that wilder can fight povetkin in the US for 10mil on the next fight or even next fight in Russia for more than 10mil?
The reason I ask is because some would excuse a duck today as long as they fought eventually.

You don't label it a duck when the subject is an English fighter, its about the long term money. when the subject is a US fighter, then its about the immediate payday. hatton and witter can add fighters to their resumes to make a fight between the two bigger but deontay can't add a another quality win to his to make the povetkin fight bigger because povetkin's backers offered him $10 mil right now.

Man, GTFO.

Damn, Bat's rumor is already almost 300 responses deep.

Why the F**K would he fight in Moscow. Wilder is the A Side, He is the Champ, He calls the shots.

.

In the US, no way, there would be no way to recoup that money. The guys in Russia I don't even think care about a profit, they just love the spectacle. As for him getting more in Russia, sure, he'd have more leverage because he has another big win but it's possible he might not even get the chance as well if he loses.

It's about the long term money when it's 2 domestic level fighters who wouldn't be earning much more than they were getting.

How can you compare that to a fighter being offered TEN TIMES his highest purse?

And you can keep playing the nationality card but I've already roasted you on that front.
