So Wilder turned down 10M for Povetkin.

[DeadLikeMe]

Wlad biggest purse came in Russia

Then why doesn't he fight there all the time? Why do all the heavier division Cubans go to Germany?

Even Wlad went to Moscow to fight Povetkin.

Wilder is too good for that though.

Klit be making bank in Russia!

Promoter Vladimir Hryunov won the right to promote the October 5, 2013, fight between Klitschko and Povetkin with a purse bid of $23,333,330, one of the largest in boxing history. Russian businessman Andrey Ryabinsky put up the money. It dwarfed bids made by K2 Promotions ($7,130,000) and Povetkin promoter Sauerland Event ($6,014,444), and it allowed Ryabinsky to dictate the location of the fight and guaranteed the fighters the biggest purses of their careers. Based on being entitled to 75 percent of the winning bid, Klitschko got $17,499,997, while Povetkin received $5,833,333 (25 percent). [4]

He's had 33 fights. He's 29 years old. He's just beat a world champion but you want him to go back to fighting soft opponents...lol.

I doubt Wilder's first defense will be against anyone as soft as Mormeck, Wach, Pianetta, or Leapai.

I'd like to see Wilder defended against an American contender like Tarver or Arreola to set up a mega fight in the fall/winter vs. Fury.

Let Povetkin earn his mandatory WBC status vs. Perez and he can fight the Wilder/Fury winner in 2016.

who said anything about fighting there all the time? That is just a product of your faulty logic. The discussion is Wilder possibly ducking a career payday.

[Pain~Lucy]

he's with ****** hymen, what can we expect, even if its a guaranteed 30m if they're not sure to win they'll turn it down, lsc said 3m to face rigo so wilder might want 100m for this fight

He's already the WBC Silver Champion.

Perez couldn't even get past the guy Povetkin KO'ed.

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

He turned it Down.

Thoughts?

Well woop de fookin do!

Tarver is a 50 year old blown up Light Heavyweight and Arreola is a fat bum.

Why not take the $10m?

[bigjavi973]

Excuse no. 1:

It's ok for a champion not to travel for his first defence even if he's offered a gigantic purse.

Really? So its ok for calslappy to stay almost his entire career over there cuz "he was scared of flying" LMAO no he was scared of a prime RJJ and a younger hopkins. How about that dude that RJJ supposedly was "ducking"? That dude hasn't even fought outside his counter lmao double standards.
