PBC needs to make Wilder-Povetkin and Thurman-Porter

[John Locke]

I hope you are right.

They both seemed confident that it would happen at the Mayweather - Berto fight, they said in numerous interviews that they want to fight, Thurman straight up said 'I think that fight is gonna happen next' and that was a few weeks ago, so it must be close now. Also there's nobody else for them to fight, Danny looks like he's fighting Guerrero, so...

How in the hell is Thurman/Porter STILL not official?

It's gonna end up all the way in December if they don't hurry up.

I expected them to wait for Wladimir (as i think Unification overrules mandatory) but with this postponement he surely will have to face Povetkin?

Fingers crossed. Its probably the best fight not involving WK in the division and definitely the most exciting

Wilder-povetkin will happen early 2016. Only question is whether it's on Showtime or PBC

I can see Wilder/Povetkin negotiations being problematic. Read an article about how Povetkins handlers have the backing of some Russian billionaires with very deep pockets and if it were to go to purse bid, they're willing to pay big $ to take this fight to Russia.
