Wilder got paid 5 million dollars for avoiding his mandatory Povetkin. That 5 million dollars is same amount of money that ATGs Foreman and Ali got when they fought in Zaire 1974. And Wilder got that money even without stepping into ring!
you've got to love this forum, "wilder avoided his mandatory" so wilder was supposed to fight a guy who was banned by the wbc and probably the biggest cheat in boxing history in povetkin, yeah sounds fair, povetkin knew he would lose to wilder and thus had to boost his own performance through steroids to make himself believe he could win
Cheaters should pay, and they should be made to pay dearly. The guy was probably always a cheat and got away with it so $5M for 8 years of cheating ain't bad. Plus, today's dollar is probably only 25% of the 1974 dollar, so that's Ali's $5M to Wilder's $1.2M.
I'm pretty sure every fight since the klitshchko fight povetkin has been cheating, wach, takam, perez especially, all those fights should be ruled a no contest on his record and they take his boxing license from him, he's cheated over and over again
You're a generous man. Me. I think he's been cheating his whole professional career, and very possibly, his amateur career too.
He'll make it up when he takes it out on poor Joshua. I like Joshua, but he's got a terrible ass whopping coming his way.
