Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter: Wilder's Camp Does Not Want It!

[about.thousands]

Who scheduled a fight AFTER the date the WBC ordered negotiations to begin?
After the WBC re-scheduled negotiations to begin in November, to fit Povetkin's schedule, who told the WBC they won't be ready until April/May?
Now they're saying next summer......
But Wilder ducking doe. Wilder was the one ready to go in January as mandated by the WBC. Povetkin and team told the WBC they wouldn't be ready. Now Wilder is being criticized for being active. Is he supposed to wait 6,7,8 months until Povetkin is ready?

I hope the fight happens, If it doesn't they need to strip the WBC belt off Wilder this fight needs to happen and I think it likely should happen in Russia you seen how good an event they put on last time that card is unmatched.

Quotes from the article.

" I believe that they do not want this fight"

"I think that that it's going to happen around the summer time"

What is it, they don't want the fight or it'll happen in the summer?

Interviewer asked him confusing questions or this cat confusing himself.

Won't be in Russia that's for sure and with the ped scandal that's going on over there with the government covering it up and now trying get all Russians banned from Olympics next year you can bet it's going be some of the most stringent testing we have ever seen in sport, ppl already suspect pove of juicing now

Povetkin's people are following the Amir Khan method of trolling yourself right out of a fight you probably would have gotten.

I think Wilder's people wanted him to get in a couple more fights, which is exactly what they're doing. In the next 6 months we'll find out if they're actually ducking.

That's all well and good, but remember: Wilder is HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, not some contender.

"It is 90% certain that the fight takes place in America"...

Translation: ***** isn't sure that he wants to watch his fighter beaten in Moscow... again...

Are you willing to put money on it? If you really think Wilder will vacate in March or April, I'd be very eager to place a wager.

I'll bet you 354353490584950349 dollars that Wilder will not vacate the belt. That is literally the ******est idea in the whole of boxing that Wilder would actually vacate..
