    From Bulgarian media Bg Dnes

    "We can win the purse bids."

    "We are going to purse bids. You saw how we won 4 purse bids for Kubrat fights (One was already against Eddie Hearn for Pulev-Whyte fight). We want to make the fight at Bulgarian National Stadium because an arena will not be enough."

    He said IBF and WBO have agreed that IBF mandatory will go first.

    Pulev has said before that he wants to fight at the Bulgarian National Stadium, so it is likely that they don't make a deal with Hearn for the fight to take place in the UK.

    John Wirt president of Epic Sports and Entertainment won the purse bids against Matchroom for Whyte fight before Pulev signed with Top Rank, can Wirt and Arum now together win the purse bids against Matchroom for Pulev-Joshua fight?

    Considering the racism row that followed the England team playing in Bulgaria I'd say the chance that happens is close to zero.

    :lol: If this fight goes to purse bids, there will be some ridiculous amount of money thrown at it. I can´t wait.

    Pulev has a nice jab that can cause AJ problems but in the end he’ll get cut to pieces and eventually banged out no matter where the fight is

    Cue the Nazi salutes as AJ makes his ring walk. It will be the most amusing thing in boxing history.

    Prime Pulev bothered Klitschko for about 30 seconds with his jab, then Pulev got pole-axed. AJ could blow right thru him. Pulev is dog****

    Exactly. He's overrated on this forum. Pulev barely beat Hugie Fury. AJ wins easy.

    The real question is whether or not Pulev will try to kiss Eddie Hearn.
