Comments Thread For: Hearn Offers Alexander Povetkin Slot On Joshua vs. Parker Card

[Sid-Knee]

But do we know he won’t budge ? What if Wilder wins in spectacular fashion ? That makes his stock go up some . This is same BS as Canelo saying he wanted triple GGG for years and we all know how long that fight took to happen.

Even if Wilder wins by explosive KO against Ortiz it doesn't make Wilder any more of a money spinner. Why would Haymon pay a whole lot more money than he does now? What would change?

The big money is only there for the AJ fight, nowhere else.

Which fighter outside of AJ can make Wilder that kind of money?

[Randall Cunning]

Interesting, what’s he up to here I wonder? Does he have Povetkin lined up for AJ next? Is Povetkin a mandatory?

Yeah hes WBA mandatory. Its what they wanted Wilder to do with Whyte, come over knock out a Brit and make the Joshua fight bigger. Povetkin gets it.

Lenroy Thomas pulls out. Hearn throws Allen to the wolves (Pedvetkin) once more.

Wouldn’t surprise me whatsoever, Hearn’s a disgraceful human being

[Arthur Daley]

That means if AJ wins he is not fighting the winner of Wilder/Ortiz which I think will be Wilder by vicious KO. Now all the AJ fans know who is trying to duck who.

Povetkin is far better than Wilder ffs and is the clear number 2 in the division. Povetkin possibly has about 10 better wins than Wilder. Amazing what holding a bauble means to the casuals. I suppose you think Manny Charr is better than him too?

Nobody. And nobody outside of Wilder can make AJ that kind of money.

And AJ convincingly defeating Parker while Wilder convincingly defeats Ortiz grows the pot for AJ-Wilder. If AJ & Wilder keep winning, and if their fight is for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world, it becomes one of the biggest fights of all time in the UK and a respectable PPV in the US.

it becomes more of a money fight if wilder wins in devastating fashion cause there will be more public demand. I agree Wilder will make the most money if he fights AJ but don’t you think if they both win their upcoming fights that it is a least worth trying to negotiate this fight ? Why already try and get Potvetkin into the picture?

So there's nothing concrete in Wilder bringing all this money in? Just a whole load of hope and nothing else?

A bit like the Ward/Kovalev fight being the biggest fight in boxing that would have people flocking for tickets and PPV only for it to flop?

You've got nothing.

Oh, they can negotiate the fight. That's not a problem. But they're not going to go anywhere if Wilder keeps asking for that amount of money. He's not worth that kind of money.

yup the guy who failed a drug to fight for the HW title is way better than Wilder , that’s why he was trying to cheat . 10 way better wins , you are spot on . When you pull your head out of your arse go ***** in your first . Idiot

You don't think AJ-Wilder will generate more revenue than AJ-Parker?

I never believed Ward-Kovalev was a big fight. It was HBO entering into a conspiracy with Ring magazine to try to invent a lineal champion out of thin air, despite the public knowing Adonis Stevenson was the real champion.

Ward had no fanbase. Kovalev had no fanbase. It wasn't a fight anybody wanted. It wasn't a fight anybody had been dreaming of. It was built up with a bunch of tune ups nobody cared about. It was promoted by two of the worst promoters in boxing. That fight never had a prayer and anybody that thought otherwise was lapping up HBO propaganda hook line and sinker.
