Wonder if Povetkin's side will settle out of court in light of the recent positive test.

Ryabinsky has too much money to care about losing, this is principle. Wilder had no legal right to walk has Povetkin hadn't in fact failed.

I smell a settlement before it reaches a verdict

Why would they?

I have a feeling Wilder will be shocked to lose this case, and badly. Wilder had been running his mouth without thinking. Imagine shouting at someone in anger, saying ****** things in the heat of the moment and then having to defend everything you said in court. Povetkin, of course, hurt his case a lot with the second PED scandal, regardless of what his lawyers claim. But it may not be enough. We shall see... imagine Wilder having to fight Povetkin, getting KOd AND giving all the money away to pay for the court mandated damages

True..... except you're forgetting the fact that he DID fail. Wilder had every right to do exactly what he did.

Probably won't get the full amount but will probably get expenses reimbursed with damages and lawyer fees paid. That would be fair
