Comments Thread For: World Of Boxing Wins Wilder-Povetkin Purse Bid

[Foreign Soil]

Easy win for the Russians, just like the fight would be for Sasha if Deonthay doesn't drop that belt.

[ИATAS]

Hows that? He has to go there now, if he vacates then the Russians just called his bluff.

Maybe you haven't noticed but we are in an era where people duck their mandatories all the time, and are actually praised for it by fans.

nice check for Wilder.go to russia and beat this guy povetkin down in front of his fans

[GMAN SUPREME]

LOLOL where are all the idiots who thought it was going to be 10mil to 15mil beyonce wilder and her paper belt is no where near being worth that!!! I got povetkin by ko's in russia!!!

[Vinnykin]

i think it will still be in america. sasha will just get a bigger slice of the purse.

It would be better if it was in Russia Imo. You have to remember time zones as prime time in the U.S is 3am in u.k and 6am in Russia. Povetkin is already PPV in Russia and packs out arenas as well. The U.S can watch at 2pm, U.k at 7pm and Russia at 10pm = more money

If it's in Russia, it will be Friday afternoon. Moscow is 9 hours ahead of Eastern time. So 1pm in New York is 10pm in Moscow. And for some reason, the Russians prefer Friday for their cards.

Haymon broke?

I hope WoB gets a Russian venue for this one. It will be great seeing goofball Wilder not only scared silly being out of his element, but knocked silly in the first round. Povetkin I'm sure knows he HAS to jump on Wilder from the start and flat out knock him out cold. Can not wait for this one!

Sadly that gets more attention then how the sport actually is supposed to work.
