WHAT? are you serious?? All I've been hearing about on here is how Povetkin is going to beat wilder and that wilder would never take this fight. Now it's time for the fight to happen now all of a sudden beating Povetkin isn't a big deal. Luis Ortiz beat Jennings a couple weeks back and was hailed the next great heavyweight.So he has to ko Fury and Povetkin to get on the p4p list?? No decision?Comment

Povetkin has stated he prefers to fight Wilder in America. Riabinsky will win a purse bid and stage it in Moscow I believe.Comment

It is a big deal, Povetkin is the no.3 of the division behind Wlad and Fury.
If Wilder beats Fury whether it be a stoppage or not he deserves to be ranked in the p4p rankings, Fury just defeated the no.3 ranked p4p king.
Fury can't be the man until he has beat the man, right now that guy is Fury who defeated Klitschko, Klitschko defeated Povetkin dropping him four times, whilst Povetkin is on a major rip through the division beating any and all comers.Comment

He was talking about the pressures of fighting at home recently and how it isn't always beneficial. I expect Ryabinsky wins the purses but may very well stage it Stateside, he'd be able to put some of his big hitters on the front line. Show the world who World of Boxing are. The new player in town.
H has already begun Internet ppv's, this would be a good broadcast in the States also potentially on one of HBO and Sho possibly ?
What is interesting is does Haymon go balls out to compete, investing in an asset or does he view this as a cashing out affair. Haymon and Wilder's handlers must be sick they didn't get the Klitschko fight whilst it was offered, had Wilder have defeated Klitschko he'd be the best American heavyweight ever right now.Comment

Well it sounds like this fight is going to happen which is all that matters. I'd prefer it happen in America but I don't really care if it happens somewhere else.
Will be a great Heavyweight fight that can go either way. I'm picking Wilder.
Bomb Squad!!!Comment

Their are some much better ones to be unearthed from a vast catalogue of quotes.
Shocking news really, I was looking for the Dave Navarro documentary recently screened, in the Dave Navarro news I saw the tweet regarding Lemmy posted like six minutes earlier. Have you seen any of the recent photos ? Damn, dude was prepared to tour in January too, I was listening to the lyrics of Doctor Alibi earlier in the car with Nikki, was too funny man. He refused to be phased by the idea of death whatsoever, been blasting Killed by Death out for the last couple of days.
You think Wilder starches Povetkin like he's some scrub he's been facing in his first thirty fights or you expecting Povetkin to go through him ?Comment

From earlier this year, interview with RyabinskyHe was talking about the pressures of fighting at home recently and how it isn't always beneficial. I expect Ryabinsky wins the purses but may very well stage it Stateside, he'd be able to put some of his big hitters on the front line. Show the world who World of Boxing are. The new player in town.

Is it in your interest to go to purse bid? On the other hand, is it better to come to an agreement with Wilder’s team and not go to purse bid?
Yes and no. Each of your options has pros and cons to them. In my understanding if we were doing this together, having come to an agreement, then we would be able to promote a very cool story around the world, since it would have been a truly astonishing, very entertaining and highly anticipated bout. And if this means going to the US to fight, we are ready to do so.
Should things take a turn for a purse bid then I will attempt to take this bout to Russia. Reason being, that if it would not be possible to do this bout in the US then I want to secure an advantage for Sasha in the form of a home turf and, what is of no less importance, grant the Russian boxing fans with the gift that this fight will be, so that they can enjoy it live.
Specifically for this bout against Wilder, I would have chosen a fight in Russia. I understand that the purse bid is an expensive endeavor. Then it would simply be another situation where would pay a great deal, but bring this bout to Russia and hold it here. I would go for this scenario.
In Part One of our exclusive interview with Russian business mogul Andrey Ryabinsky, we touched on a number of topics, including: the economy of prizefighting in Russia; the state of the cruiserweight division (where Ryabinsky’s World of Boxing promotional company represents most of the division’s top talent) and unification bouts versus multiple champions in a weight class. However, World of Boxing's arguably biggest attraction is located north to the cruiserweight limit. Alexander Povetkin, a former heavyweight champion and Russia's only Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist, remains among the division’s top contenders (ranked #1 by both TBRB and the WBC), seeking to challenge reigning WBC heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder (34-0, 33 KOs) in one of the most awaited heavyweight showdowns of the present. Povetkin (29-1, 21KOs) joined the World of Boxing Family shortly after his Oct. ’13 heavyweight unification bout with World champion Wladimir Klitschko. Ryabinsky played an integral part — by means of a significant financial investment — in bringing the championship event to Russia, and Povetkin officially signed with WoB just four months later. From there, the World of Boxing has provided the means for the top Russian heavyweight to get back to his very best. Three big wins have followed — all coming by knockout, including a 91-second destruction of Top 10 heavyweight Mike Perez in his most recent victory this past May. The win confirmed Povetkin’s place as mandatory challenger to the unbeaten Wilder. Getting the title fight, however, has proven to be a separate challenge. BoxingScene.com discusses in great detail with Ryabinsky the current situation surrounding the ongoing negotiations and a number of other Povetkin-related topics during the second part of our interview.Comment
