If Povetkin wins...

[sicko]

No, he would hold out for even more. Just like he is doing. You don't ask for more money and keep the fight from happening unless you're desperate.

You have that completely BACKWARDS but....OK?

Fight will be in Moscow doe.
And Povetkin's promoter/backer is swimming in a pool lots of $$$$$$$$$$.
Pov is mad as hell at Wilder and his team for leaving Russia in haste when they're supposed to wait for the completed ped tests.
Pov as A side will be a nightmare to deal with.
He won't be needing the undeserving Klitsch ducker because he'll have more belts strapped around his waist when he beats AJ.

Man he turned around and failed again a few months later, how the hell are you blaming Wilder?

Losing to Povetkin does severe damage to Joshua's reputation. From Wilder's POV it's probably great because if he does decide to negotiate he can say he's the A-side and demand everything that Joshua's demanding right now.

That's just speculation though. In the real world Joshua will beat Povetkin with relative ease.

When Wilder refuses to fight unless he gets a **** ton of money, then yes, he's desperate for money.

Are you telling me Wilder only cares about the titles and becoming undisputed? If that was the case Wilder wouldn't be causing even more problems by asking for a ridiculous split.

Wilder goes on about how he's not being offered his worth, when that couldn't be any further from the truth. If he was offered his worth, he would get no more than 4 mill.

If Povetkin wins...

Get ready to travel to Russia if you want the titles.
Forget Vegas. Pov's backer got lots of money to burn...in Moscow.

[Scipio2009]

AJ would make at least another $30 mil minimum in the Pov fight, win or lose.
Deontay would be lucky to make $2 mil in the Breazeale fight.
Bottom line is AJ would be better off financially 20x over compared to the undeserving Klitsch ducker.

Seems to me gaining titles is no longer relevant in these forums.
So let's just talk about fighters' worth in $$$$$.
This is what interests fans nowadays, first and foremost.
Fk titles.

Anthony Joshua's biggest disclosed payday was the £15m that he got for the Klitschko fight ($21m).

Why feel the need to lie? lol.

[champion4ever]

That would be the best possible scenario ever because if Povetkin wins then he will fight Wilder in a heartbeat because he wants to become boxing's undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world. AJ fans keep trying to make this all about money but it's more than that. It's about legacy, honor, dignity, prestige, pride and patriotism. Once history records his career he wants to go down as one the best to ever do it because once the money is removed, the legacy remains.
