Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Warns Ryabinsky: I Want My 4.6 Million or Lawsuit!

[Cinci Champ]

The irony here is that Ryabinsky sued Don King when he failed to deliver a Guillermo Jones fight because he failed a drug test. Ryabisky won 1.8M from Don King, and now he's trying to avoid paying Wilder for the exact same thing.

yep but somehow wilder is the bad guy here its almost amazing the hate for wilder when povetkin is the cheater

Damn wilder turned out to be a real scumbag.

Povetkin didn't even test dirty. He tested below the threshold in one test out of several and VADA said there wasn't time to retest. WBC postponed the fight.

Never was there a dirty/cancellation/etc.They just postponed for testing.

Wilder himself backs out of rescheduling the fight then demands he get paid anyway. Just strip him if that's his game.

this was haymons plan from the get go. pay off vada like mayweather to "catch" povetkin cancel the fight get paid make wilder look like the hero like he KO'd povetkin in the first round without ever stepping in the ring. I was stunned when wilder agreed to go to Russia for the fight. thought he might be for real. now I know why

[nacho daddy]

That wouldn't make sense. Wilder did everything he was supposed to: was willing to go to Russia, passed all VADA tests, flew overseas ahead of time to get acclimated.

How is he a swindler?

wilder agreed to all that knowing the fix was in and he did not have to fight him in russia

Wilder is jumping the gun now.

If more VADA tests indicate that Povetkin was telling the truth about not taking this stuff since it went on the banned list, I assume he will remain as Wilder's mando and the fight will be rescheduled.

If Povetkin's story doesn't check out he will be suspended, lose his mando position, and the fight will be off.

Then Dibella/Haymon can sue Ryabinski and Deontay should end up getting something out of this, though probably not his full purse.

VADA are not USADA. They are a different organisation. Also, Povetkin has admitted that he was using Meldonium up till Sept last year.

There's no need for conspiracy theories here. Either Povetkin kept taking the stuff after it became illegal or he has residual traces remaining from previous legal use.

Hopefully, the extra tests he's been doing will clear that question up soon.

typical ****** move always looking for a handout

this is haymon at his finest. trying to make millions without his fighter taking a risk. never had no intention to fight in Russia. fans defending wilder were duped by haymon at least they did not spend any money

[therealpugilist]

its suppose to be postponed for a pos test, not CANECALLED!

this is all wilders doings. NO PAY FOR WILDER

you're a pac fan, you dont care if a fighter is on PED as long as they win right?
you probably supported cut off dates even though knowing when testing ends is not random....DUH..... The dude tested positive for something that was banned 5 months ago. 9/10 he was taking it recently.

would you fight someone on PED...simple

Wilder deserves a % or better yet investigate Povetkin and fine him, suspend him or simply ban him. Too many shady PED users come out of russia and europe

you idiots are mad at wilder?

He got in shape, was clean, and signed to fight a more experienced guy in his home country.


You are some really sick individuals. Povetkin cheated and yall are trashing Wilder.

You guys were really looking forward to seeing Wilder on his back, too bad Povetkin didnt think he could get him there without a little help.

typical ****** move always looking for a handout

where is the handout? he did was he was supposed to do. All was left was the fight to play out. If some one doesnt follow through with an agreement, a person gets compensated for the time and work invested. Its not that complex

stev.....do you support PED use and cheaters in life?

Damn Wilder gets a lot of hate. I understand he's not the most skilled of heavyweights out there, but Wilder was working hard for this fight, was expecting a payday, and then it's because of Povetkin failing a drug test that he loses a payday. Give the man something. Maybe not his whole payday because he didn't fight, but the man spent time and energy in a training camp. Throw the man a bone!

And I don't care about him pulling away from the fight. Wilder has a reason to be pissed and deserves some type of compensation. Povetkin had his chance and he blew it by wasting team Wilder's time.
