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

[Boxingfan8888]

Wilder has the contract

All he needs to do is sign it and fax/scan it ASAP and the fight gets made

Joshua has signed his part

Eddie Hearn is such a sc*mbag. The man can't open his mouth for 1 minute without lying.

And what lies are they then?

Wilder the USA paper champion of the world lol

Lmao!!! That's what I'm saying.. and the wba gave a 24 hour deadline?? Wtf kinda magical ****ery is this?

The WBA already gave an extra month to Hearn to try and work something out with Wilder. They can't keep doing that when it's obvious Wilder doesn't want the fight. He's forgot his pen you see. Haha.

COWARD!!!!!

Lol strip him.

Why would they strip him if he's willing to fight Povetkin?

Maybe Wilder can get in touch with Povetkin and ask if he can buy some courage off him. Maybe a pair of balls wouldn't go a miss either.

If Joshua loses to Povetkin, his stock will plummet and the Wilder fight will lose a lot of interest. Which means Wilder stands to lose a lot of money if Joshua loses to Povetkin. He can kiss that $15M+ payday goodbye, go back to his $2M purses to fight no-hopers.

If by an act of God Povetkin squashes Joshua, then all Wilder has to do is whoop Alexander's ass. It's just that plain and simple. The fact of the matter is, he would've already kicked his ass had he not popped for juicing twice.

Except Povetkin isn't going to be as much of a compelling fight. Wilder won't earn anywhere near $15M to fight Povetkin, and it won't look as good on his resume.

Well, as mom used to say, "Either shit, or get off the pot".

Come on man...read between the lines. Hearn has been throwing this WBA-Povetkin thing out there since a Wilder fight was mentioned. He never once questioned why his WBA Super Champion was being forced to fight a mandatory, when a guy like Keith Thurman hasn't fought in a year-and-a-half, and is still holding on to his Super title.

You can give Hearn a pass if you want, but this is obviously his doing.

Hearn talked about the mandatory because it was hanging over him and could get in the way of the Wilder fight. You thinking him mentioning it is some kind of conspiracy only shows how far gone you are. You're brainwashed to an extreme level. You should be pitied.

PED****kin should not be allowed to box
