Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and secondary titlist Alexander Povetkin both have bouts scheduled, but the purse bid for their mandatory bout was held on Tuesday and Russian promoter Vladimir Hryunov pulled a shocker, winning with an extraordinary bid of $23,333,330.
It is the third-biggest winning bid ever and far exceeded expectations. K2 Promotions, Klitschko's company, bid $7.13 million and Sauerland Event, which promotes Povetkin, bid $6,014,444 at the ceremony at WBA headquarters in Panama City. The minimum bid was $1 million.

Klitschko is a bigger draw than Wilder and he only bid $7.13mil for himself. I think a $5mil bid for Povetkin-Wilder by DiBella was right on the mark. Povetkin-Wilder is not gonna be bigger than Klitschko-Povetkin
