Of course not, but Ryabinsky put up $23M for that fight. Keep in mind the Klitschko camp was shocked by the bid because up until then they had complete control over the HW division in terms of contracts and setting up fights with their opponents. They didn't take Ryabinsky seriously at all. I was thinking $12M might have been a conservative bid by his standards for the Wilder fight, but $7M is surprisingly low IMO. I think it even surprised DiBella, who didn't expect to win.
My concern would be that the bid might be too low for Wilder to consider going over to Russia to fight.
Rabiansky didnt win the purse bid for Klitschko Povetkin, Vladimir Hyrnov did.
