Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter Confident of Winning Wilder Purse Bid

[Fetta]

Not even for $11M?

If Ryabinsky puts up a $15M purse, Wilder gets 75% split. That kind of money is very hard to pass up...

Said it would be lucrative for Wilder but as dirty as Russia is i would have to think about it.

From RUSDA being busted and not a member but the entire division to the higher ups and theres other doping scandals, dont know if i would.

What makes you say that? I rarely pay attention to where abc title fights are going down at, but does the WBC got a Russia ban or something I'm unaware of or whats the basis of your opinion here?



I don't see the issue with going to Russia. I know Wilder is on record as saying he'd not be willing to go to Russia, but he's also said he wants to be a world champion & defend his belt in other countries so there is some argument he could still be up for this.

And honestly I think the best possible outcome for Wilder is if this fight happens in Russia cuz Ryabinksy will overpay on a whole other level for Povetkin fights it seems so Wilder gets paid the best for this fight in Russia. If Povetkin is using PEDs, he's been using PEDs & already has gained the benefits of them &/or using them during a 2mo training camp will be of little difference to the end result. And I've seen nothing to suggest Russia has any more bad decisions than anywhere else. So I don't see the issue with going to Russia.

Yup. He's gotta do this. Wlad beat the **** out of him in Russia. Fury fought Wlad on his adopted home turf.

He's WORLD boxing Council Champion. Not American champion. Wilder needs to pay his dues if necessary. Get that big purse split and defend that World title.

haymon will make wilder drop the belt. just doing what's best for my clients! then again that was old rich haymon. new poor haymon seems to be a little more humble now that his take over the world scheme was foiled.

Why are so many against the fight being held in Russia?
What reason could you possibly have unless you want it to be held in America so you can buy tickets?

Wouldn't go to Russia. Not at all

Believe it or not, but a fighter can get a fairer shake in Russia than they can in Texas or California.......

How many bad decisions have we seen in Russia? Not many I bet, I can't even name one and tune in to virtually every decent Russian card.
Its not like Germany and the likes it gets branded, Russia has shown very fair officiating over the years maybe more so than any other country.

The money is in Russia and they will also utterly stack the undercard as always with multiple high level fights.

Agreed on Russia, and Japan also is known for very fair judging......
