Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter Confident of Winning Wilder Purse Bid

[kafkod]

They'll give Haymon/Wilder what they want and use the RUSADA as spin. Although they'll be correct in doing so. Russia's whole Summer Olympic team may be banned from the Summer Games. I think it's perfectly reasonable for Wilder not to fight in Russia. Promoters are being beat up, former RUSADA officials are dying suddenly.

There is no reason at all why the fight can't go to Russia. Wlad fought Povetkin in Moscow, so why shouldn't Wilder?

There has been no pre fight PED testing for any of his fights, and he's had no problem with that so far.

The WBC disregarded all of the positive tests from Povetkin's fight in November. As of right now there are no WADA accredited testing agencies in Russia. The WBC and VADA just teamed up to test fighters fighting for their belt. Who's going to do the testing?

Not true,

The testing programme covers all sports, not just track and field, where doping in Russia has come under particular scrutiny.

Not true,

Thanks I didn't know that. Still doesn't change my stance though. There is to much corruption in Russia. And not just the standard money exchanges hands for favorable judging. I'm talking people being beat up and killed.

People thought it was smart of Fury to refuse to drink any water after the fight in Germany but Wilder should fight in Russia? Russia is way more corrupt than Germany.

Wilder better take his arse to Russia for the pay day.

Martin, HW champ fights his mandatory where Martin is a huge underdog in the UK.

Klitschko, HW champ fights Povetkin in Russia..

Wilder? Becoming irrelevant it seems.

Real champs will be the UK HWs. Wilder nothing but trash.

Ryabinsky is an OG, that fight is going to Russia.
