        Not sure that there has been a fight with this kind of purse and the level of magnitude of Wilder-Povetkin that fell apart due to PEDS. I'm not a fan of lawsuits but this cost Wilder a career high payday and I'm not sure I wouldn't have done the same thing he did.

          What Wilder did was right, I'm not faulting that.... a bit surprised he got the full amount and subsequently wondering why other fighters/promoters don't do the same thing.

              Well, guess this worked out for Deontay. I wonder who he'll fight after this Gerald Washington fight is over, assuming he wins

                povetkin popping AGAIN didn't help his chances. and i'm not saying this is fair, but being russian and an athlete in 2017 basically starts you off with two strikes. the russian state was well involved with a huge doping scandal at the international level. you can't trust the russian state in regards to doping or establishing athletic commissions.
                I don't think you can trust anything the Russian state does or says to be honest.

                The Russian Olympics squad was a joke, multiple athletes got banned, the whole country should of to be honest. I think certain members of the committee got a lot of pressure from *****s lackys and they caved in and let most of it slide. The best one was there Paralympics squad where like 70% of all disabled athletes where on steroids lol.

                  Nowhere does it say Wilder won 5 million. Just sas he won the case but doesn't say how much he was rewarded or what he was rewarded.
