So Wilder turned down 10M for Povetkin.

[bigjavi973]

No they don't. In no way am I protecting wilder. you just wanted to argue.

Or, wait and take a lesser step up fight and then fight Povetkin later. It really isn't a big deal.

Dont bother with dirk... hes the same dude that says frampton shouldnt fight rigo cuz it makes no financial sense

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

Why the **** wouldn't he when wlad went there? Get off that a side **** man it's childish.

[The Big Dunn]

In this case, that would be Povetkin. He's bringing the money. He's the A-side.

Agreed. Povetkin's backers have shown a willingness to overpay for fights so Povetkin can have the home advantage.

In my 1st post in the thread I explained IMO it was right for Wilder to not take fight at this point.

Right because he's afraid of getting his ass kicked?

Povetkin isn't even that good.

IMO it was a better long term move to take the fight he did instead of the Povetkin fight now. He can eventually fight Povetkin for the same or more money and the fight will be here rather than Russia.
Deontay is still a developing fighter IMO given his lack of quality opponents. Too often fighters in his position make too big a leap for their skills. They end up losing in the long run. Wilder isn't Floyd or Lomanchenko. I think he and his team made the right decision.

I went back and checked. I made the same point you did dirk regarding hatton/wiiter-fighting povetkin for more or the same money. you felt deontay wasn't taking the fight because he would get his ass kicked.

when the hatton/witter fight was discussed you gave no opinion about winning or losing, just long term earnings.

why didn't you give an opinion on winning and losing with regards to hatton/witter?

Mate you are literally one of the biggest mongs I've encountered on this site. What are you even talking about? You're just saying random **** and hoping that it's relevant. There's no structure to your retorts.

Shut the **** up.

Apparently Wilder was offered a 10M payday to face Povetkin in Moscow.

He turned it Down.

Thoughts?

He isn't ready to cash out just yet..
Haymon got plans to milk dem udders.
You know it. I know it.

[bigjavi973]

Exactly, that guy needs to be banned for ******ity. How he cannot see that fighting a lesser opponent for 1/10 the money isn't a duck is mind boggling.

Im also in that train of thought that if povetkin wants that belt, he needs to come over here and come get it.

[The Big Dunn]

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.

I explained that in my very 1st post-my boy glenn tapia. he took the bigger step up, bigger money fight with Kirkland and got a beating. he wasn't ready.

IMO, wilder needs another fight before povetkin.

I'm not playing any card, I am noting the difference in application of the word duck. it just so happens its hatton/witter. you tried the Haymon crap but everyone knows I im no deontay fan.

Its clear that you are using duck because deontay is an American. had you called hatton/witter a duck you'd have some credibility here. But you used the same reasoning I did for not fighting yet you label one a duck and not the other.

Hatton and Witter not fighting for a few hundred thousand at domestic level is not the same as a world title fight for 10million. Am I actually having to explain this to a functioning human being?

If Hatton or Witter was offered 10 times their biggest purse to fight each other in a domestic fight and they rejected it, I'd call them both ***ing spastic duck f@ggots.

Doesn't make geographical sense doe

stop justifying dude. what if wilder can get 15 mil for a povetkin fight down the road? you don't know anymore than you knew what hatton/witter would get.

but they never fought and you still didn't call it a duck. yet you will label this a duck when the possibility exists for a fight this year for more or the same money should he beat fury. you are so full of ****.

Out of curiosity you ok with Floyd not fighting cotto way back because he ended up getting 5 times as much 4 years later?
