Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter Eyes New Wilder Date Before Year's End

[OnePunch]

Ryabinsky, Povetkin's promoter, sued Don King for $2.4 million and won for the exact same thing. Guillermo Jones got popped for peds before the Denis Lebedev rematch, so the fight got cancelled. They still got paid though.

Wilder should try get that $4.3 million, then fight him again for a second purse.

A little bit different of a legal argument as it pertains to the King deal. In that instance, King was sued for breaching a "provision of services" agreement, which has a different legal structure. In this case (depending on the WBC ruling) it is simply a "postponement", which may or may not constitute a breach depending on the bout contract language......

But should the bout ultimately not be rescheduled, Wilder should certainly be entitled to recoup some of the promoter deposit that Rybinski deposited with the WBC if they cancel the fight and declare Rybinski in default



2.19 Promoter’s Deposit after Winning Purse Offer. Unless otherwise permitted by the WBC in its sole discretion, the promoter who wins a purse offer must, within ten (10) calendar days after the purse offer ceremony or as otherwise ordered by the WBC, deposit with the WBC ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the winning offer. If such 10% deposit is not made by the winning promoter as required, the WBC may in its discretion deem that the promoter has forfeited his right to promote the bout, which the WBC may then grant to the second highest bidder.
The balance of the deposit will be returned or credited to the promoter upon or following the payment and/or deduction of all applicable sanction fees at the time of the title bout. In the event after paying the deposit the promoter does not promote the bout according to the terms of the winning bid, the WBC may, in its sole discretion, order that the promoter has forfeited such deposit, which the WBC may in its discretion then distribute to the boxers in accordance with the purse split, and/or retain as a penalty.

Passed 3 drug tests earlier in April, yet fails for the smallest trace amount a few weeks later. "He came in contact with the drug".....................yeah notice how they don't say that he took the drug because if that were the case, the detected levels would have been much higher given that he was apparently clean a few weeks before hand.

Someone should have done a better job setting him up imo.

There's this thing called microdoping should look it up before commenting

Lol @ Wider, thinking he should get $4.6 milion for a cancelled fight.

The guy is a ****ing moron.

Rybinsky sued don King for same thing happening and won so yes can happen

[hhs661]

They ever pay to get their B sample tested?

[MDPopescu]

Will somebody suspend this drug cheat already?

Isn't it WADA's job?

I'd love to see the extent of the WBC's "investigation". Guessing its largely based on Suliaman's son awaiting a big enough payment from one side or him coming up with a plan that'll be worth the most sanctioning fee in the future.

I bet the WBC didn't even have punishments in place for their clean boxing program that was set to start soon so got no clue how to figure out how to even do anything yet. Let Broner say some **** about all the "I Can's" & they can throw out a punishment quick doe.

It's obvious he was trying to microdose.

There were no traces of meldonium in his system during the 3 earlier tests in April. Then he came in contact with the drug and tried to microdose and that's why the fourth test detected levels of it in his urine.

If he's innocent why hasn't he asked for the B sample to be tested yet?
