So Wilder turned down 10M for Povetkin.

[BOXEO _]

Klitschko fought Povetkin in Russia. You sound ******ed. Turn down 10 million cos its in a different country? Lol

Wilder's not the one begging for the fight you ***in ******.

If Povetkin wants the belt he needs to come over to Wilder's back yard and try to take it.

So if Mayweather/Pac fight GGG who is the champ at 160, is it right for them to dictate where to fight?



The world of boxing shouldn't just revolve around the USA.

GGG isn't the champ at 160. Even if he defeated cotto and was, he has not shown the ability to fill a major arena like Floyd or Manny so he would be the "opponent". The main attraction almost always determines where the fight will be.

His focus seems to be on Fury. He needs to work his way up the rankings. Povetkin is a HUGE step up.

If he fights Fury that's perfectly acceptable and people would have no basis to criticize him.

For that to happen, Wilder's team would need to make a counter offer you absolute spastic.

Why is Wilder willing to fight Fury in the UK but not go to Russia for $10m?

And what, make 1/10th of what he would earn if they fought in Russia? Doesn't make any financial sense. All so people can pump their chest and say we the A-side.

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.

[joseph5620]

We've called it for a while: Wilder is going to defend his 'title' against a few more bums.

He's going to keep it hostage. The chump.

You didn't "call" anything yet. Wilder has only had the belt for two weeks and he can't start training until March because of a broken hand. Nothing definitive has happened.

I also recall you predicting with confidence the referee would stop the Stiverne fight as soon as Wilder landed a punch. You're not doing well with predictions so far.

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

Povetkin isn't even that good.

In my 1st post in the thread I explained IMO it was right for Wilder to DUCK the fight at this point.

fixed it for you Big Dang
