Here's a scenario;
Two dodgy promoters with some clout.
Povetkin wins the first fight either with a shïte performance from johnson or a questionable decision.
Rematch makes more money
Wilder won't do well with the russians after the court case
If AJ wins they're now back to their flat fee offer.
An offer that was only accepted to get the fight on immediately & was acknowledged by boxing media as being being below market value
Wouldn't put anything past Hearn
