    Wilder is pretty active on twitter, calls people out, talks about the fights against Szpilka, Duhaupas, Molina etc, before they are even signed. What about Povetkin?

    Not even one tweet and he's quite inactive suddenly.

    Posting gifs of him dancing, never even mentioning the purse bid, Sasha, Russia, his next fight.

    Wilder doesn't even want this fight.

    He is going to vacate or a mysterious "injury" occurs.

    Without that belt Wilder is a nobody. He is not a draw, not a PPV fighter. The only thing he has to his name is that belt.

    If he drops the belt he has 0 pull. As it is he doesn't draw that's why the bid was lower than expected. 4.3 million is best Wilder is going to get he won't drop the belt. He will lose though.

    I believe that too. But there's always the Al Haymon factor though, which can lead to another Quillin type situation. On to bigger and better things, so to speak.
