    Hell yea. I get super excited when a fighter enters beast mode.
    I imagine like he's Michael J Fox in teen wolf and the beast just takes over.

        Why didn't Povetkin's team get this fight in Russia, even with some kind of state backing?

        Boxing is growing in Russia with WBSS final there, and there is a lot of animosity between the countries right now.... I really thought they would get the Englishman over there and make a statement.... they must be giving Povetkin a lot of money.

          Just because they outbid against Haymon for the wilder fight doesnt mean they can outbid to have AJ go to russia.

          They bid like 7 mill against Haymon, which is peanuts in comparison to the revenue AJ brings in . If Povetkin gets 25 - 25% of purse.. he's lookin at the biggest payday he's ever had by a long way. If they bid to have the fight in Russia, they'd be having to bid AJ's guarantee + more. never gonna happen

            Not going to use the Wilder bid which was less than 1/3rd of the Klitschko bid, lets use that $23million as an example instead.... I think with everything going on just now they could have came up with more than that.... especially with state backing and getting a British HW champ to Russia would be a political win as well.

            I think Povetkin will be getting substantially more than 25% to secure home rights.... just my opinion.

              It's as if Algieri's trainer lets these fighters out of the cage all over again when they go beast mode

                  who knows.. you could be right. we'll probably find out sooner rather than later anyway.

                  personally the whole wilder/aj/fury thing has burned me out of the HW division...if i was to pick'em then theyd be the exact oppositer of what id actually like.

                  I can see AJ and Fury getting ****** out, and this forum becoming an absolute mess of arguments and b1tches

                    WTF.... No would have even brought him up but you.
                    You're literally one of those cheerleaders that cause people to say, "In before ___ (insert unrelated fighter)" because you actually did just that. How ironic.
