Why is Bivol vs Zinad headlining 5 v 5 instead of Wilder?

    It is an absolute disgrace that Dimitry Bivol is headlining 5 v 5 instead of Deontay Wilder, the Bronze Bomber. Nobody has ever heard of Zinad, nor do they have even a passing interest in the conclusion of his supposed fight with Bivol.

    Wilder was known as a knockout machine whilst Bivol is the antidote to insomnia. Someone explain how the headline was given to Bivol?

    I thought it was being headlined by Warren and Eddie based on the poster.

    Total egomaniacs.

    I thought Zhang vs Wilder was the new main event?

    This is what I thought...............they changed the main event to reflect Beterbiev's absence

    Maybe because they consider Zinad >> The Dosser and they might just well be right

    Bivol is a bigger star than Wilder who is coming off an awful loss.

    Wilder needs to retire.

    Wilder has lost 3 out of his last 4 fights including just losing 12-0 to Parker why would he be ahead of Bivol who's the Light Heavyweight champion and P4P top 10 ?

    Maybe because Zhang and Wilder are both coming off losses?

    Because Beterbiev vs Bivol is one of the biggest fights to be made in the sport and was the original headliner until Biev's stupid training regime which includes an inordinate amount of explosive weight training resulted in him getting injured, so now we have Bivol vs Zinad. Bumz Squad and Big Bang are both coming off losses. I think Zinad might be decent enough to force Bivol out of 1st gear and make him actually have to try for once but I doubt it.

    I´d rather have Bivol as the main event than on an undercard. Because then I won´t be forced to endure his boring ass to get to the fights I want to see.
