Nope, nobody would be happy if they ordered filet mignon and were brought Taco Johns

Fans should not be happy! Joshua turned down $50 million dollars guaranteed, plus 50% of the total revenue, so he could go fight Povetkin! SWERVE!

does anyone have an issue that Povetkin gets a title shot after cheating?

I do, but I guess the question is how long after a failed test before we're ok with a guy fighting for a belt? Even bigger issue is how many times has he even been tested in the past year and how good is testing for AJ-Povetkin going to be?

I'd like to see Pov, Fury, Ortiz, Whyte, have to pay for their own extra testing 365/24/7 for the rest of their careers to ever get a shot again.

Hearn sending wilder a contract with no venue or date on it. Such a hypocrite. If anyone else did this he'd be lecturing them about them not being serious or understanding how business works.

If Canelo can, why not Povetkin?

Canelo is also P4P top 10 while PEDvetkin never was.

I would rather watch a dog sht then pick it up and throw it at this fight where it belongs.

Adam Smith sky sports has already started selling this fight on sky sports today. How dangerous Povetkin is, only lost one fight to Wlad 5 years ago etc.

Povetkin is still a live dog and with legit skill and power. I wouldn't call it a 50/50 fight, but still a much more compelling fight than any Wilder fight outside of his bout with Ortiz.

Povetkin looked shot against Price. Price just looked more shot.

I thought that the WBA said that a deal must be reached in 24 hours. It's been over 24 hours and they are saying a deal is close.
