Comments Thread For: Wilder-Povetkin Eyed For April/May By Ryabinsky

[Rich2123]

Povetkin would be a real fight for him, I think it's reasonable to be disappointed with his last 2 opponents after the Stevirene fight. The Spizilka fight is a good step in the right direction.

I view Povetkin/Wilder as a 50-50 fight.

People laughed at Duva when she made the excuse about Russian future commodities markets and currency problems but it had a bit of truth to it. The West has placed sanctions on Russia. Oil prices have dropped dramatically. And the Russian Ruble has been devalued.

Ryabinsky isn't throwing that money around like he used to. I remember this article on here where Huck said he could get paid more fighting in the US than fighting Lebedev in Russia.

He may have the money to win and put the show on in Russia but do the people have the money to attend and are the sponsors gonna spend?

Damn bro I didn't know russia was doing so bad financially

This fight won't happen, wilder would get knocked out clean and miss out on the fury sweepstakes

Wilder is staying very active. I look forward to him adding his second top-3 rated scalp to his resume in April or May.

if wilder wins this fight decisively a lot of you all have to put him in your top 5p4p..it is simple as that...malik scott, stiverne, duhap(had one of the upsets of the year when he beat charr), szpilka (top 15),and povetkin
...PLUS HE IS ACTIVE AS IT GETS THESE DAYS
IF HE DOESNT HIT SOMEONE'S P4P TOP 5 IM GOING TO NEED TO KNOW WHY..
AND YESS I WILL BRING UP RACE/HAYMON HATE..
its man will have won 3 fights that ppl said he was going to lose...maybe 4..bc many think szpilka will beat him..

And the first one was...???

Ryabinsky was the man who outbid K2 for the Vladimir-Povetkin bout with $24 mil. He might well want to secure this fight too. Wilder would get a bigger purse than he'd get anywhere else - for the rest of his career.

Gonna be pretty funny when Wilder knocks Povetkin out.

But one thing is for certain, this will not take place in Russia where they will rob Wilder. It will take place the USA and that is not negotiable.

Oh that's funny. So, lemme guess, you yourself have such deep pockets, you're going to fly in and scoop this one up and save it?

Wilder may want to travel, but Haymon knows what's best for him. And that doesn't include getting shafted in a foreign country. Haymon has way more money than this Russian dude anyway if it comes down to a purse bid.

From what I've read, the Russian company is very well cashed.

At least this one is finally being seriously negotiated. Wilder finally getting a legit serious challenge.

You're crazy. Beating Povetkin would simply make him the #3 heavyweight.

About time, the fight should have happened already.

With Pov's new found power ,he'll stop Wilder imo, unless Wilder is as educated as he was against Stiverne.
