Will Al Haymon allow Deontay Wilder to fight Alexander Povetkin?

[El-blanco]

If he does, theyll strip wilder.....Pov is the mandatory after Molina Taxi Cabs is beat(optional defense)

I think that's what will happen. Wilder will become the pbc champion, povetkin would kill wilder.

[Mitchell Kane]

Hopefully.

This is a really good heavyweight fight and it just got a whole lot more juice in the last 24 hours.

Is sounds like Wilder wants it.

This would be great on SHO or PBC...it would be one of the biggest fights on PBC this year.

Well I think that Povetkin will be handed the WBC title without a single punch being thrown.

I don't think that, Wilder is really on world level yet, he has been carefully put in place by corrupt powers.

Obviously WK should have beaten Stiverne for the WBC in the first place, why my man Arreola was allwed tofight for it IDK.

Ideally that would be nice but it's hard to imagine this not being a main event.

You are talking guys on the undercard making millions.

I don't know if Floyd's team would go for that or where the money would come from.


This isn't Don King in the 90's where cards are stacked. They are gonna need a lot to pay Floyd and his opponent.

When those King cards were stacked with Chavez and a load of paper title fights the fighters were getting relatively nothing compared to Tyson. This fight will be a PPV caliber fight. Didn't Wilder's team already reject a 10 million dollar offer to fight Povetkin in Moscow?

I sort of want to see povetkin vs jennings but povetkin should wait for wilder now that he's the mandatory

[big_james10]

I know Deontay Wilder is brave enough to fight Alexander Povetkin, either in the USA or in Russia.

But Al Haymon has been very protective of him. I wonder will Haymon have Wilder avoid his mandatory?

I'd love to see Povetkin-Wilder. I think they are both legit top heavyweights, probably the #2 and #3 best after Wladimir Klitschko.

I don't think Haymon will allow Wilder to get anywhere near Povetkin. He will tell Wilder to vacate the belt before he lets him fight Povetkin. I do think he will allow him to fight Klithschko because that is a big money fight and getting the snot beat out of him by Klitschko for $5 million is better than getting the snot beat out of him for $1 million, which is all he would get for a Povetkin fight.

Wilder will vacate the belt if he is forced to fight Povetkin.

[Pain~Lucy]

Wilder is the Champ. Therefore he is the A-Side. If Klitschko could knock down Povetkin Many Times, So could Wilder. This fight happens in America. Most likely in Las Vegas, Madison Square Garden, or the Staples Center. It's a big fight.

Jay-Z won't let haymon host fights at Barclays anymore I bet.

lol Povetkin will be the A-side when ryabinski win the purse bid

[SN!PER]

I do think he will allow him to fight Klithschko because that is a big money fight and getting the snot beat out of him by Klitschko for $5 million is better than getting the snot beat out of him for $1 million, which is all he would get for a Povetkin fight.

It should be more than that. Doesn't Povetkin have some wealthy backers bidding on this fight?

He does.

But Wilder's manager Haymon has considerable influence with the WBC (like Don King used to have) and so they are unlikely to ever force Wilder to fight Povetkin.
