Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter Feels Wilder Will Vacate and Fight Martin

[285Kid]

If its does, Is its because of the WBC/VADA deal coming next month?

[Clegg]

I don't think he can vacate.

Seriously, if he did who Would ever take him seriously anymore?

Larryx, Stax, Pigeons etc. would defend and spin that or anything Wilder did. Aren't they already saying Wilder shouldn't have to travel even if Haymon loses the purse bid? Although if you're talking about serious boxing fans I agree, he'd look like a joke.

I think this is just Povetkin's promoter running his mouth though, they'll probably come to a deal eventually.

I really don't see that happening and it would be some real BS if it did. Give up the WBC strap? Wilder's not that big a star to be doing that and I'm pretty sure his handlers know better.

Wilders tv ratings are low, he should be a star, amd this has to bother him and his camp. If he was a hbo fighter hes probably one of the biggest star in the sport right now.

He needs to win a fight like this, his win vs Stivern was good, but the fans have already moved on.

If he vacates, fans will give up on him. Even the #blackBoxersLivesMatter crowd.

WILDER......I predicted this

If he does Wilder would be -The biggest P U S S Y HW Chump in history. Worthless all mouth and no back up. Other than Martin the weakest champ out there.

Only according to boxing's rankings authority.

That says he was ranked 4th in the world, not 3rd, unless we're not counting Wlad

I have been saying for months that wilder would vacate the title before he fought povetkin. Sometimes I hate being right.

[Pigeons]

Touche. 3rd ranked contender. #4 HW overall.

If Wilder does that....................I'll be done with him. But he hasn't done that yet.

so this might actually happen after all?
