Respect to Wilder for agreeing to the fight.

I guess he's getting a good payday out of it.

Wilder is guranteed $4.5 million and will get 10% ($715,000) of the total purse of $7.15 million if he wins, meaning he can walk away $5.3 million.

Wladimir bashed up Povetkin; Wilder is still yet to fight anybody. Tyson Fury is ghe number 1 Heavyweight in the WTF are you on about?

Looking forward to this fight. Hoping Wilder wins as Povetkin won't get near Fury, wouldn't even want to watch that.

This is awesome. VADA testing, a legitimate fight. Big critic of Al Haymon, but respect to him & Wilder for making this happen. Great crop of heavyweights coming up & Wilder deserves to be competing against them.

I met Wilder during Super Bowl week when he was giving some interviews on radio row for Sirius XM. I just quickly asked him if he was going to get it with Tyson Fury and he laughed and said he wants the fight but he has another fight with Klitchko first. He and one of the Watson twins took some pics. Cool dudes.
Big fight for him and big risk going overseas but I will be watching.

Unlike Canelo-Khan, I really don't know who's winning this fight, so I like it! Pulling a little for BB, but Povetkin is capable of laying Deontay out.

It is no surprise that he waited until after Charles Martin got his ass whipped to sign for this fight. I said before Mar tin/Joshua was signed that Wilder would vacate his title to fight Martin. I also said Wilder would wait until after the Martin/Joshua fight to see if Martin won before he would commit to fighting Povetkin. I was right on one out of two predictions.

so wat? unifications trump mando's...he's still eventually have tofight povetkin next..it wold give povetkin a chance to win two belts if wilder won so he shouldnt have b1tched about it...joshua and eddie wouldnt dare take a wilder fight right now...and martin vs wilder would have been easy to make bc it is an in house american hw fight...

so u ddint predict anything huge...i bet u also predicted wilder would go right to martin..but martin joshua happened instead...

Did they tell Wilder this was another voluntary defense ? Is that why he signed to fight ? BUM SQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a pathetic hater. Wilder is taking the fight and going to his backyard and you're still hating on him.
