Comments Thread For: Joshua Hopes Povetkin Backs Off So Wilder Fight Can Happen

Truth: Joshua Hopes Povetkin Pushes Hard So Wilder Fight Won't Happen any time soon!

Hearn and The Robot have ZERO interest in pushing this fight, theyre simply going thru the motions to look interested. Hearn CAN'T be enthusiastic if his prized possession is in danger of getting laid out.

Expect more mandos to pop up after this "interruption" and for Team-Hearn to entertain them ALL under the guise of "fairness to the Mandos." MONEY speaks much LOUDER than a REAL challenge, and Hearn sees no reason why the gravy train should stop now.....

Hearn knows his thing mate. He isn't a simpleton sitting with his keyboard inside a basement like you...

If it bothers him that much drop the belt to povetkin but strike a deal saying he'll fight him for it again after a year.

[Arthur Daley]

I think that’s the major thing here, his handlers have a lot of money hence chances after his drug cheats.

That or its because he has a great cv and keeps destroying everybody in the rankings.

still don't understand why there are no special rules for unified champions.

he can't be bothered with every mandatory.

unification fights trumps mandatories.

mandatories from different sanctioning bodies should fight in a final eliminator.
mandatories are supposed to appoint the most deserving challenger and what's more deserving than beating top rated opponents?

povetkin vs whyte vs pulev. if two step up, the winner is next in line for the real mandatory.

whyte hasn't beaten a top10 opponent (not sure if Browne was top10 but he is garbage).

povetkin fights against top20, top50 kind of guys since he got busted.thats not how you get back into the mix.

pulev is not even on the radar anymore. since he got knocked out by klitschko, he has only beaten chisora who everyone beats. after that he has feasted on bums.

it's just too easy to get a mandatory, when there are 4 different opportunities around.

Yeah look at the murderers row from hell wilder had to go through to get his mando shot at Stiverne......

How much is Povetkin willing to accept to fall back for 6 months?

[bigjavi973]

Have you heard the rumours?

Joshua giving offers that will definitely be refused.

To be honest, there is zero sign of active ongoing negotiation. Either there is nothing really going on other than some worthless phone calls here and there or it's a super secret negotiation.

imo i think they want the povetkin fight for example since pricey make povetkin fall back halfway thru the ring haha.... but we shall see

It's not my fault I'm not fighting wilder. It's the belts that are such a problem. Boo hoo, cry me a river. Just admit aj you don't want to fight wilder instead of making excuses about belts and money split

Thanx for your kind words, Is there a Joshua poster on your basement wall? How often do u get drunk and worship before it? does the image move depending on how drunk u are? With the movement you see, do u feel u & him are even more at "one?"......"Hearn knows his thing mate." - You mean playing off the emotions of dimwits like you, who focus more on the greedy MONEY aspect of things than on an actual CHALLENGE?

POPULARITY is EVERYTHING! Right!? Wilders not as popular in the DRUNK FAN boxing world of the UK public, so Wilder being a BONAFIDE CHAMPION should SETTLE for ANYTING(?) simply because he's never quite made the amount of money he could make now!?? ....Ohhh, I get it! I should get DRUNK then I'll understand u better........sorry but that aint gonna happen.

ONLY in this "sport" can a GREEDY promoter and his remote controlled ROBOT hi jack & CON their way out of a divisional best fight from happening! And the rallying cry they use for the DRUNKEN fan girls!?? POPULARITY(!!) and a dimwitted attempt at FORCING this WORLD CLASS athlete to settle for less because he's not as as "cool" or as "moral" as AJ in their DRUNK deluded minds!??..... peace out bloke we DISAGREE and always will......

Not even bothering reading that essay mate..
That fight is happening. That's all I know. And again... Eddie Hearn is better at what he does instead of acting tough on his keyboard inside his basement. Fact is there are 4 major belts in boxing and AJ holds three of them. Simple really.

[TheBigLug]

No way he back off.

He's approaching 40, he'll want that payday.
