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

[5000boxing]

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.

Hearn called in a "favor."

I posted yesterday that Hearn would come out and say they took too long...he got the WBA to do it for him.

If Haymon is gonna order the WBC to screw Whyte, then Hearn can order the WBA to screw Wilder.

Politics baby

OR WHAT?! Did Hearns and Ryabinsky have a purse-bid?! Did Sasha win it?! EAT A D*ICK Mendoza!!!

Eh, to be expected. They gave them an extra month to get this **** done. At some point they gotta say 'enough'. Although since they wont fight in Sept, there's nothing wrong with giving them another 2 weeks or so, just in case by some magic they can reach a deal, they'll still have time for 3 months of prep.

Wilder and his team are ridiculous here, they clearly had zero desire to fight Joshua and dragged it out until the bodies forced Joshua to move on


Why does wilder need two weeks to sign a contract and not even respond in time

The fight would have been on and wilder signed, all his fault, it’s him not signing to fight, Joshua has agreed to the contract they sent

Wilder needs to understand he isn’t the draw here, he’s there because of Joshua and Joshua alone

Because they reviewed the contract? Fact of the matter is Hearn low-balled, turned down excellent offers and waited out the negotiations.

Looks like Hearn put in a call because I've never seen sanctioning organization give a 24hr deadline for signature. Actually it seems like the Povetkin negotiations were taken more seriously by Hearn than the Wilder fight.

Hopefully they broadcast the AJ fight in the States and he gets another 250K viewers and Deontay goes on to fight the real king of England Tyson Fury

Povetkin might spoil the party! I wonder if joshua would go to Russia.. lol. That's what world champions do.. but we all know that AJ is the U.K national champion.. and will never fight outside of the u.k! Lmao

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

[pillowfists98]

So will Wilder fight Breazeale in the meantime?

OR WHAT?! Did Hearns and Ryabinsky have a purse-bid?! Did Sasha win it?! EAT A D*ICK Mendoza!!!
