Why are they taking so long to announce Wilder/Glazkov?

Pretty sure it's the real Espinoza because I'm blocked.

Anyway, supposed to be Jan on Showtime.


Answer:

A hitch in the Glazkov-Wilder negotiations: Main Events is refusing to give @LouDiBella future options on Glazkov. It's a sticking point.

All of Wilder's fights this year have been officially announced very late. It's not a coincidence. The reason: I don't know...but you can never rule out coordination of PED cycling timing in this sport.

WEll Jan has been the date they already set out, so all that's missing is an official opponent announcement since they evidently have one picked out.

I don't know, I'm even more curious to why Porter/ Thurman hasn't been officially announced. What is PBC doing regarding the start of next year? Seems like they are gonna make Danny/Ghost but these two fights are actually better fights.

Booomb squad!

I agree with "he is usually late with announcing".

Yup, even the Stiverne fight was late even though we all knew it was going down.

Espinoza said Glazkov is next, but nothing official

They'll probably wait for this weeekends fight to take place before announcing it. That tweet is legit as well.

Some fishy stuff...... Got a feeling Wilder might pull out of this fight

Why they didnt announce it yet?

Because drug testing starts when the fight is officially announced.

Same why Mayweather announced the Berto fight at the last moment

For example, Mayweather didn’t announce Andre Berto as the opponent for his upcoming Sept. 12 fight until Aug. 4, only 39 days before the fight. That didn’t leave much time for serious drug testing. From the conclusion of the Pacquiao fight until the Berto announcement, Mayweather was not subject to USADA testing. - Thomas Hauser

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

they waiting for the last minute to offically annouce so the drug testing window can be small as possible same with porter thurman.

damn ****** PBC filth
