    Not a soul cares about Beyonce Windmiller in London.

    That must mean they care about Povetkin then.

    Makes sense, since London is a haven for Russian oligarchs on-the-run.

    Perhaps Canada is a better location. Montreal or Quebec would sell out with Canadian fighters on the undercard.

    Wilder fans are cowards, just as I thought. Stop being so scared. Wilder will take a nice nap in Russia and get paid for it. Why so scared?

    No they both said fighting in US is fine, there's no issue over fight location whatsoever and never was.

    I've read Povetkin say he wants the fight in the US because he's always wanted to fight a big fight here.
    His manager actually said that they were open to fighting in the US, UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS, which could mean anything from Haymon making up for his projected Russian revenue loss to, if it happens to be snowing in the US at fight time.

    We'll see. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe you are. Time will tell, and real soon too. :yep

    I couldn't care less where the fight happens I have long gone on record saying Wilder would beat Povetkin as that he's a bad styles match up for him. The coward here is you Povetkin held this fight from happening.

    So far, the poll is 7:1 with one vote for Russia. Povetkin fans must have not woken up yet.

    What's the reason the fight is not happening now? :deal

    Oh yeah, Martin, an easier opponent, won the IBF. You're a coward.

    Wasn't Wilder also supposed to KO Szpilka easy? Tell me about that.

    If Povetkin is preventing the fight from happening, why isn't happening now? They're offering Wilder a lot of money to take a nap in Russia.

    Wilder was losing to Szpilka before the KO :deal.

    if povetkins promoter wins the purse bid he is going to want to fight in russia

    american time zones means that all there figts take place when europe is asleep
    or in russia`s case 7am moscow time .

    its up to al haymon to get wilder home advantage, you cannot blame the russian promoter for wanting to do the same.

    Povetkin didn't want the fight up until a few weeks ago and wanted it pushed back now all of a sudden it's Wilder's fault. I see how you work you anti American traitor, get out of our country you POS coward. People like you are everything wrong with America you reap the benefits of this great country but don't have an ounce of pride or loyalty to it.
