Comments Thread For: Wilder Eyes Voluntary: Why Should We Wait on Povetkin?

[bigjavi973]

i believe that the wbc rules state that after winning a title the champion may take one optional defence within six months and then they have to take on the mandatory challenger. but i guess the rules don't apply to certain fighters. anyway, povetkin's people have been trying to contact wilder's people since may or june and wilder's people won't deal with them. why is that? surely povetkin brings more money to the table than molina and duhaupas and whatever random bloke they find on page 3 of boxrec's divisional ratings for their next fight

yea thats true as well. IMO povetkin does bring more money... could the purse bid be a type of strategy to make more $$$? what ya think?

WBC rules state he has 365 days from the time he won his belt to fight his mandatory.

OF COURSE it is. Ryabinsky has already stated he will badly overpay for this fight. Wilder just needs to sit back and get ready to beat the heck out of Sasha for 10-15mm

[bigjavi973]

yes,,,he is. I havent seen any other champion duck top contenders like wilder and his lack of quality opponets is the only reason he has such a high kayo percentage

the word "ducking" has been thrown around very loosely lately.

what date were the purse bids ordered?

They said in May that negotiations were ordered to start now. They've also just said that Wilder's next defense will be against Povetkin.

Ugh. Just stop.

The Jennings talk is interesting. I don't want to see Wilder fight another dud, or attempt to put off the Povetkin fight. But, (if) Wilder faces Jennings while Povetkin faces Wach, I'm ok with that.

that's some good money... if he's wants to fight in dec while negotiating the purse bids I see nothing wrong with that. He's still fighting his mando withing the time frame that was given to him by the WBC rules (which they also stated that povetkin must be his next fight, which contradicts their own rules because there isn't a limit of voluntaries you can fight as long as you fight your mando).

"The free negotiation period for the next mandatory, between Wilder (should he win with Molina)and Povetkin, will be ordered in the month of October. If the two sides are unable to reach an agreement, a purse bid will be ordered."
