WBA : wilder has taken too long. Fight must be signed with povetkin or aj stirpped

[bballchump11]

"Shelley Finkel: "We are ready to sign the contract. It will be signed by Friday"

If they were ready to sign - then why the heck didn't they just do it? Why wait till Friday, ffs?

Probably because of this.

It is absolutely disgraceful that Povetkin is being allowed anywhere near a champion. Boxing is such ****.

this is proof that sanctioning bodies and promoters are destructive to the sport of boxing, the WBA has not ordered Thurman to fight anyone and its been damn near 2 years, but in this situation all of a sudden they "step in"??????? but couldn't extend 3 or 4 days to allow it to get done?? right after wilder wilder says they will have the contract (that hearn sent later than expected) sent back by Friday, the WBA jumps in and says 24 hours????? come on guys, its pretty obvious whats happening here. im sure aj fans will run with it. but once again real boxing fans lose.

the same WBA that dropped Ortiz from its rankings over failed test are now ordering a 2x failure to fight a champ. I understand that some aj fans are happy with this and will cheer away. but at some point u have to speak as a boxing fan this is complete bullsht!

Lmao! I knew something was going to pop up after Shelly came out and said they will have the contracts signed by Friday. Good stuff from Eddie. Probably put pressure on the WBA to order the mandatory ASAP. But they could just extend the deadline until Friday or whenever. They won't be the reason the Wilder/Joshua doesn't take place.

These dudes send a contract with no venue or date knowing it was not going to fly with Wilders camp. This was all in Hearns plan, they never did this when Ortiz was the mandatory.

Wilder has come out and said on instagram, he will not sign to fight Joshua

And his fan girls will still twist it into a Hearn hyptonotized him to make those remarks . lol

I haven’t seen this either. I’ve seen most Joshua fans are disappointed that Wilder is declining the fight despite boasts previously that he’d fight for free. Surely the two “minor points” aren’t worth losing $15-20m over?

Wilder fans seem happy the fights not happening next though because it gives them more time to claim Wilder is being avoided by refusing the fight.

Wilder fans are dumb but the moment he loses they will go away and move onto someone else.

I say this as someone who doesn’t particularly like Joshua. I don’t dislike him I’m just neutral on him.
