The WBA issued a public ruling saying that, as AJ vs Wilder had not been signed, Hearn had 24 hours to give them the date on which AJ vs Povetkin would take place.
There was no requirement for AJ/Povetkin to be signed within 24 hours and Hearn never claimed that there was.

The WBA had already given Hearn 30 days to strike a "voluntary" deal with Ryabinski, and extended that deadline 7 times.
And Hearn had already informed them that all terms for AJ vs Povetkin had been agreed upon by both sides, in the event of AJ vs Wilder not being signed.
There was no need for a purse bid in a situation like that and no requirement for the WBA to order one before stripping AJ for not fighting his mandatory.
