Comments Thread For: WBA Gives Joshua 24 Hours to Close Deal for Povetkin Fight

[Froch_uppercut]

Unifications trump mandatories and Wilder has already agreed to everthing and signed everything.. a simple fax to the wba about the Unification will cease all the talk instantly because they too have a certain set of rules.. now, AJ needs to show the wba that this fight is made an this all goes away... but the truth could be that AJ hasn't signed.. which is why the wba is enforcing the mandatory with Povetkin.

Or, you could just make **** up in your head and then tell it to yourself so much you believ it’s true.

Maybe Wilder was about to sign but the tooth fairy grabbed the pen and now the fight’s off.

FFS this is a straightforward duck from Wilder. Easy spot.

Hearn and Shirley conspired to not get the agreement signed so Joshua does Povetkin as last Showtime fight and thenJoshua v Wilder can be on DaZN.

Who the **** said Eddie has April 13th locked in and booked already?

Shelly Finkel said Hearn sent him a letter saying they will be fighting Povetkin next and the Wilder fight will take place at Wembleys on April 13, 2019.

Are you on crack? April is FURTHER AWAY you thick twat. Ergo, it’s less difficult to arrange. Try booking Wembley for next week, see if it’s do-able.

Fook me there’s some ****** ****s on this earth.

Is this what you're going with? So how exactly was Eddie able to book that venue already? I mean since he was using all his energy negotiating for October or November, how was that even on his mind? So he could find a venue in April, but he's had a couple of months and couldn't get a venue locked up in October or November.

You Brits need to open your eyes. Stop believing everything you hear from Eddie. He is Mr. Spin Doctor and you guys are falling for his BS once again. Don't you worry though, he will be giving his guy Kugs a interview VERY soon I'm sure where he will be saying Shirley Winkle and Deontay just don't want the fight.

Fooking hell, of course they moved on, Shirley and Duck-tay clearly didn’t want the fight.

C’mon man, you’re not serious!

Obviously Hearn or any astute planner asks about stadium availability for approximate dates when he might need em

“It appears the Wilder team have not returned the contract for the fight and therefore we are requesting a date for the Joshua versus Povetkin fight with immediate effect.”

Thats just laughable, both of them dont want that fight next because its so much bigger next year. And they are fooling all of you. Cant wait till that fight is done with and we'll have the Cruiserweight champ moving up teaching both of these juiced loudmouthes a boxing lesson.

Come'on you know as well as i do that the Tooth Fairy had something to do with Wilder not signing the contract and obviously threatened to smother him in his sleep ( they'll never believe the pen theory ).

You cant out smart those Wilder bunch ,they know whats up and know the HW champion wont even mess with that mean creepy bytch!

Yet Hearn wasn't astute enough to plan for a venue in October or November? THESE NEGOTIATIONS DIDN'T JUST START YESTERDAY. So this man has had over two or three months and still hasn't come up with a date? Okay.

If you can't see what is happening then I can't help you. Hearn wants to put this fight on DAZN but couldn't do so in October with its launch debuting in September. You could put a Joshua/Povetkin fight on there, but definitely not one of the magnitude of Joshua/Wilder. You need time to market and promote the streaming service where it attracts consumers. If it takes place in April like rumored, then you would have seven months to the date DAZN launches. By that time they are hoping it has built up some sort of consumer base and this fight will help take it to the next level.

After this fiasco, I just don't see how any promoter or manager in good conscience would want to do business with Matchroom boxing because they are dishonest people. They make promises they don't keep, they lie but most of all they are snake oil salesmen. You can't take them at the word. They rather tell you what you want hear rather than telling the truth.
