can someone tell me whats up? i thought wilder had won. is this a different case?

its from fightnews.com

Promoter Andrey Ryabinskiy’s attorney succeeded in getting a favorable decision in a US court ruling in a long court proceeding with the representatives of WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder. The New York Federal District Court refused Wilder on all counts and awarded Ryabinskiy’s side $4.3 million in funds that were part of the interpleader case after the fight between Alexander Povetkin and Wilder was canceled in May of 2016. The decision can be appealed during the next 30 days, however attorneys have already filed a demand for the return of funds.

Attorneys will take a careful look at the 48-page decision and plan out the next actions, evidently in court also, as parties are still battling it out over the multi-million defamation claims.

“I said it once, and I will say it again, anyone that wants to offend or insult my guys, will have to pay for it,” said Ryabinskiy, President of the promotional company World of Boxing.

The Povetkin-Wilder fight was canceled after a positive sample test by Povetkin containing a trace of meldonium. However, later Povetkin was declared not guilty, and it was found that he did not take meldonium after its official prohibition that started January 1, 2016.

Wilder intitially won the lawsuit, but Ryabinskiy contested it, so Deontay never saw any of the money, since it was still in escrow.

This is extremely fresh news and so I'm waiting for the MMA Payout website to release the lawsuit documentation, which will explain what had transpired.

I do seem to recall that Team Wilder had refrained from sharing emails that their people had written that was deemed to be self-incriminating by Ryabinskiy's lawyers, but the court initially prevented them from being disclosed, due to the American's claiming that it was work-product.

So I'm guessing that might have something to do with it.

thx

meh.
It says they have 30 days to appeal the decision.
The appeal will happen and some undetermined amount of time later we'll here the result.

From what I'm seeing. The first verdict has not been over turned.
A separate suit to release the funds that were put in escrow for the original fight.

This whole mess is absolutely ridiculous.... Any lawyer with any competence who wasn't bought off by the American side would have won this case for Povetkin based on the final ruling from the WBC -- that Povetkin NEVER took Meldonium after January 1st 2016 when it was added to the banned list...

Povetkin had a trace amount of Meldonium in his system, but only 7% of the concentration that was allowed... The only reason the WBC gave for "postponing" the fight. was this: They said they wanted to investigate whether Povetkin could test clear for one test and test for 70 nanograms in a later test... This should take them 2 days to find out but it took them over 5 months... They determined YES it IS possible to test clear for one test and later test for 70 nanograms because of varying levels of hydration (the amount of water you drank)...

What WBC did was destroy the promotion....and they wanted to destroy Moscow as a venue for Heavyweight Championship Fights... They had no desire to "investigate" or their investigation would have concluded rapidly...

100% agree. Wilder should've taken the initiative and fought him anyways. Guy "gave Ortiz a second chance" but he wanted none of Povetkin. Anyways, it was an open-and-shut case, or at least it should've been. They should sue the WBC for loss of funds because they handled the situation so bad. On top of it, they definitely showed bias against Povetkin.

I always thought that cancellation stank and that it was politically motivated. I've been saying so as long as I've been posting on this forum.

Our US posters on here seem to have a kind of collective myopia when it comes to some of the shenanigans that surround Team Wilder, The WBC, VADA, WADA and the rest of the circus. The same people that freely concede that the Stiverne permanent mandatory status was down to collusion between Sulaiman and King, steadfastly refused to accept even the possibility that it wasn't just Don King that might have been able to steer Snr. Sulaiman in the preferred direction.

Be that as it may, while I stuck up for Povetkin being innocent of the Meldonium fit-up, I found it harder to explain away the Ostarine failure before the Stiverne fight (even if Stiverne got a pass for a far worse transgression on some bullshit pretext at about the same time).
