time to go nap nap bum squad.

Is anyone really surprised?

I mean come on... Look at the track record. Why would Wilder change his ways all of a sudden? Fight never happens as I keep saying..

[RussB23]

Wilder already wanted the fight before. Povetkin didnt want to because he had a boo boo on his eye lol. Yet wilder is ducking, wilder had to fight another voluntary .

Damn I'd be very concerned about fighting in Russia. Remember they tainted Guillermo jones urine so he had a false positive

as shady as the USA buying oil via Turkey from ISIS.

Stop criticizing and talking S...

Oh damn, could this one be happening over in Russia If it goes to purse bid?
Not sure how Wilder would feel about that one but whatever pays the most, right?

wilder's fault..he should have shut his dawgon mouth..imo povektin doesnt want to fight tall fighter he does better with ppl his height or shorter..but when wilder shot off at the mouth saying he would not go to russia..all they have to do is say no to every deal and win the purse bid and wilder will drop the title without a fight..
...it is simple as this "and the new" likely by way of not being willing to negotiate due to wilder's big ass mouth

Almost every Russian I have met living in America says Russia is corrupt. Wilder is the champion and the fight should take place in America.

Well surprise, surprise. BUM SQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Povetkin hasn't even submitted a purse bid yet so why all the BS talk?

Povetkin and Fury had offers in the past and didn't negotiate!

Fury was offered a fight prior to him beating Wlad, it never happened because Fury's management were smart enough to wait for Wlad to get beat and Wilder to beat Stiverne.

Fans talk so crazy most times they don't know this game and the hoops that come with it! The fight will happen then Fury and the young guys will join in.
There should be good heavyweight bouts coming in the next 36 months!

I wonder what the split would be. 70/30 Wilder? Obviously Ryabinsky won't bid $23M like he did for Klitschko-Povetkin (he lost millions on that fight), but even if he goes as high as $10M, that would be a $7M purse for Wilder. Win or lose, that's retirement money.
