Comments Thread For: Team Povetkin Ready For HUGE Deontay Wilder Purse Bid

Hopefully this doesn't turn out like Quillen/Korobov, where quillen vacated his belt.

Big difference between $1.4M and $14M.

I see Areola knocking out an absolute can in his next fight and looking "good and rejuvenated" and wilder just vacating his belt to avoid povetkin, who i think he could beat. Then he'll fight areola in a "pbc superfight" like quillin vs jacobs.

[SN!PER]

They have to make this happen.

Deontay's goal is to take care of his disabled daughter, and this kind of money would definitely do the job.

the problem with a purse bid is that if u play hard ball and say 10 million this russian cat may say..ok u can have it...now u have to overpay wilder and povetkin...

i say negotiate before the deal ends..povetkin just needs to be patient and let wilder get his defenses its nothing wrong with not takin the fight right away ...bc it has to happen..dont be like pascal with stevenson

Team Povetkin Ready For HUGE Deontay Wilder Purse Bid

And team Wilder ready to sht themselves.

[Scipio2009]

see you in russia

With a simulcast likely for a day/night doubleheader on Showtime (doubt that Ryabinsky concedes to the PBC presentation of his show)

Deontay Haymon ain't ready fuh dat doe.

I'm still unsure on Haymon's take on this & **** if he's as greedy as people say he's still gettin 10-15% or w/e of this potentially huge purse, but I'm positive Wilder is ready for 8 digits in his bank account if this cat is for real. First off I'm sure Wilder believes he wins the fight & second there is a level of talent everyone would fight for enough money & I think its very safe to assume 8 digits is within Wilder's fight anyone range. I mean how many fights can Wilder even make 8 digits for? This payday would be some long term career payday goal ffs.

Even if Wilder thinks Povetkin kicks has ass why would he turn down the $15M+ payday thats being suggested he'd get for this fight? I think thats too much money for Wilder to turn down.
