Hopkins fined $200,000 for weigh-in scuffle with Wright

IS it the Nevada State Athletic Commision that dishes out the fines? If it is then the rules should be hard and fast, otherwise Mayorga would be getting slapped with fines all the time. Maybe the rules only apply for the weigh-ins. Either way the whole thing is ridiculous.

I genuinely think Ricardo has a grudge for some if not all of the fighters he faces! And he is a genuine SOB. Fair enough,you could argue that he should be fined too but at least Ricardo is genuine. This was staged all the way with Hopkins even admitting in an interview that he knew it would help PPV sales(I cna't remember where the link is).

When you are famous, small things become big things.Nothing to gain from Mayorga fining.It will no prove anything for them.If they fine hopkins, it becomes an issue.
