Why doesn't Povetkin just fight Wlad?

In the world of Povetkin he is king of the Heavyweight Division and the Klitschko's cease to exist.

 

Povetkin is not a "world champ." Why do people give a **** about him and his paper title?

 

Because he knows he will lose, possibly end up in the hospital and lose his gravy train. He is right and I'd do the same thing.

 

Listen, when I was training Povetkin I had a plan in place on when we would face Wladamir. Povetkin would of been the WBA, WBO, IBF title older right now if he would of stuck with my planning.

 

He's looking to make as much money as possible before taking that fight. It is a good business plan after all and this is his career/life.

 

Povetkin is scared.

Wlad would KO him.

 

Pure and simple fear.

 

He'll get KO'd and he knows it.

 

Sauerland needs Povetkin as a belt holder for their TV contract. When Povetkin fights Wlad they know the minor WBA strap is gone. So they protect it as long as possible.

 

Money, Povetkin will not beat Wlad.
Once he becomes less profitable Wlad might be his last big payday.

 

he could make alot more money if he had any ****ing balls and at least "try" and knock the real heavyweight champion unconscious in a fight, thus opening the door to the world actually giving a ****. good business move = being a ***** in the boxing world. sorry, no dice

 

Povetkin knows he will lose his 0 in that fight and also a lot of market appeal as a simple HW or a former title holder.

 

Putin wouldn't allow him, just like he didn't SNV
