Comments Thread For: Wilder-Povetkin Purse Bid Ordered For February 26 in Miami

[Clegg]

Could / would Jay-Z bid on it?

He won the Quillin-Korobov bid but since then hasn't bid on any other fight I can think of. Guessing he doesn't get involved here but you never know, would be funny. Hopefully 50 Cent bids and then 'remembers' he doesn't have the money after all.

That Russian money

Should be interesting. If Wilder goes to Russia itll prove he is worth following. The guy is still at a stand still, he needs to start proving his worth. Russia against a fringe contender is a great step forward.

he bought a gator skin lamborghini while simultaneously asking the public for donations for his daughter's medical condition...

Can you please provide a link to Wilder asking the public for donations?

Plus their rules are like guidelines anyway, nothing is hard and fast with an alphabet body

that may be true for wbc/wba/wbo, but for the ibf, the rules are pretty much set in stone no matter who you are.

That's from over 2 years ago, before he even fought Malik Scott. Suffice to say he has made much more money since then. Acting like he bought the lambo and then asked for donations. Way to twist the story, guy.

Do you have a source to back up that claim?

Are you sure you're not confusing him with Steve Cunningham?

I always assumed his daughter's medical bills must be astronomical, so even if that story isn't true, it shows quite a degree of selfishness to be splashing out on shit like customised Lamborghinis when you have no idea how long your financial stability will last. Wilder wants us to think he's a humble man and devoted father (which I'm sure he is) but then goes around spending money like water at the possible expense of his daughter's quality of life. He needs to prioritise man.

That's tomorrow huh... Things sped up real fast. Wonder what's going on beneath the surface here...
