No links but seems legit. Just over 7 million bid from Povetkin vs just over 5 from Dibella.
I wonder what that % is that Wilder does a Bowe. Fight could still end up stateside I suppose but I think Wilder might exit.

Not a big money fight.Quote:

That was cheap compared to what was paid for Wlad.
I just want to see the fight between them and see what Wilder was so worried about. I do not understand why he is so scared of Povetkin.
There have been rumors that Al Haymon is getting low on money.
Nice to see it's happening in Russia (unless Wilder vacates) because Povetkin is more likely to receive fair officiating there (although that wasn't the case against Klitschko, who should have been DQed for excessive holding and repeatedly pushing Povetkin down).

Povetkin has no head movement.
Watch the Wlad fight and try to ignore the leaning and holding. Inbetween that Povetkin has no head or upper body movement.
I think Wilder may be hiding a fragile chin rather than fear of Povetkin.Quote:

Its interesting that Al decided not to cough up a little scratch to help Lou out. Anywho perhaps he never had to which would make him smart instead of having money problems. The Povetkin team might even want it in the States anyway. After all is said and done it would not surprise me to see this fight end up in New York should it actually materialize.Quote:

Wilder has the power to spark anyone. He also showed against Stiverne that he had the ability to box and move. The possibility is there for Wilder to win. I just think Povetkin is the sturdier of the two and will get to Wilder eventually.Quote:

If this fight actually does end up in Russia Wilder will have already lost the first three rounds before the opening bell ;D. Having an actual threat finally in front of him may very well force Wilder to play seek and destroy. Then again it may see him come in flailing and yelling booooommmmb squad only to get clipped and zippered for a 10 count himself.Quote:

Lou DiBella is the front man for Haymon, that wasn't his dough. The "small" bids say a lot about Wilder's worth
Because Povetkin has fast hands, a decent chin, and can REALLY box and fight and appears to have turned himself into a KO artist post-Wlad.Quote:
