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

[kafkod]

what date were the purse bids ordered?

Negotiations to begin by Oct at the latest. Oct was a deadline, not a stipulated date.

[saintpat]

"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."

Now moved back to November per Sulaiman/WBC because Povetkin is fighting in November.

Again as long as it is against a Decent opponent, No Problem!

Fight Amir Mansour if he looks impressive vs Gerald Washington!

Can't complain about that. Purse bids are coming up to start negotiations so why not stay active in the mean time.

They won't start negotiations with a purse bid.

Purse bids are what happen when a negotiated deal can't be agreed on.

That was obvious, they need to justify their decision to fight another bum at the end of the year, and mark my words: IT WILL NOT BE DECEMBER. Wilder will fight in late January or early February and it will be another unknown bum on PBC and then he leaves Povetkin waiting till at least June of next year.

The ******ed fans are paying to see Wilder because they dont know **** about boxing and Wilder is the only fighter that brings in any money for Haymon so he tries to milk him as much as possible.

Then Haymon will decide what they will do next, they might pull off an injury that delays the fight and frustrates Povetkin even more, they might put out ridiculous demands like Floyd because Wilder is "The HW champion". Will they even vacate the belt if they dont win the purse bid? It will be "interesting".

You may believe that, but you are mistaken.

Read the WBC rules.

There has to be one mandatory defense of each WBC title every year.

you're right, i read the wrong thing or misremembered, but having just had another look at the rules i can't see why the purse bid was so delayed in the first place. i'm pretty sure that they usually order the defence basically as soon as the challenger is established, but it seems entirely up to their discretion, which they exercise absolutely arbitrarily by the looks of things. stiverne was forced to begin negotiating with wilder three months after he won his title

[Raonic]

I don't mind only if in December/January. Any later and it would delay a fight against Povetkin. If he fights in Dec/Jan, then it wouldn't delay the fight much since Povetkin fighting in November anyway.

Jennings is rubbish.

Jennings put up a tougher fight against Wlad than your hero Sasha did.

Povetkin is the most overrated fighter on NSB by far..

Jennings lost every round. I'm not claiming that Povetkin is a world beater, but he's superior to Janitor Jennings.

according to Michael Woods at The Ring website, Deontay Wilder is in discussions to fight Bryant Jennings.

Alexander Povetkin deserves his chance at the title and SHOULD be next.

But that being said, Jennings is a good fighter and a much better opponent for Wilder than journeymen like Duhaupas and Molina.
