I'm sure the thought of the sanctioning fee from a £30 million superfight might make them relax their rules a little. I'm sure Povetkin's people would take half a million or so in step-aside money too. I wouldn't be surprised if the IBF are just making noise about their rules here to try and get a payment on top of their sanctioning fee.
I am sure that for 250 000 Povie steps aside one more time and that for a 50 000-100 000 the IBF will just agree with it.
I think Ruiz got 5 or 600 000 $ to step aside for Haye-Valuev to get made so Povetkin's people will want at least the same.
