    Eddie Hearn is a slime ball, that's all there is to it. But Povetkin took the fight, so he has himself to blame if he had post COVID syndrome. The money must have been really good....

    Had Povetkin to be knocked rounds 1-6 at 10/11, easy with hindsight but that was an absolute steal.

    Or the counter offer for more time to recover must have been really bad in comparison.

    Good thing is...Wilder once again is left with nowhere to hide. If he wants his title back, he'll have to go through Whyte first. It'll be interesting to see what happens from here.

    If Whyte & Wilder fights are good maybe thay could have 2 fights also,it's a fight that would sell.

    Also, in fairness Povetkin looked awful in the first fight before he landed that uppercut

    He looked better but pretty bad, I agree. I have no idea how some people thought that fight was even or Pov was up.

    DAZN commentary absolutely correct, should have counted him on the ropes. Some awful officiating this evening. Wardley leg sweep, shame as Lyson is normally a great official.

    Do you think eddie paid him more than he had earned from all his fights?

    He most likely might had retired and turned into gym business after fight vs Huck for example.
    Okey, for westerners more $ means everything but for health and career there are other things to use to earn more money.

    Povetkin reminded me of Rahman when he fought Wlad.

    Revenge is revenge though............

    its got nothing to do with covid and everything to do with money
    both fighters probably took a career high payday tonight with minimal expenses
    In normal circumstances no way they get away with this as a PPV main event
    Pov is done and he took the pay cheque then see you later

    Whytes trainer are typical yes man. The wilder fight would be huge. A fight that wilder can win if hes mentally right. Serious chance for wilder to redeem himself if he knocks whyte spark out and gets in position for josh vs fury winner.

    The first fight did 250k plus buys so Pov must have been on a couple of mill just to show up here.
