Until he made his first million, Hopkins refused to leave tips at restaurants. (After making a reported $10 million for fighting De La Hoya, Hopkins said he had softened. "I tip, but not overly tip," he said. "I still got my Costco card. I'm a platinum member now.")
yeah but he came from a poor background, served time in jail so maybe changing he's ways would take time, the fear of having to go back to porvaty can make people tight pocketed.
i like b-hop he's been great for boxing
He sees all these boxers going broke around him by overspending I think he has a right to not tip or save money... He only makes money for a few years ... granted its more than any of us will ever make minus successful CEO's, but still give him some slack.
the guys had to take punishment to earn his money, so its up to him how he spends or not spend it
maybe he's a jewish?
lol if hes so stupid as to not relize tipping is sometimes paying not have your food spit in thats on him lol .....i dont know if he really never tipped though but w/e lolQuote:

Your right tipping in America is way out of hand, read some stuff on tipping etiquette here and it's just a joke. Your supposed to tip in a restaurant since the waiters only make a couple dollars an hour so I give 15 to 20 % and thats a good tip. But reading this stuff they say you should tip your hairdresser, your mechanic, you grass cutting service, your paper boy, your mail man, you name it and they all have their hands out wanting extra for a service you just paid more for then it's worth. You want good service from your motorcycle service department, bring them some donuts or a 12 pack of beer after you just spent 20 grand on a bike. I could go on and on buts that enough, you get the idea. The only ones I will tip are waiters and the tip is only as good as the service, so if the service is bad 15 to 20 % is out of the question.Quote:

Well, at least they probably wouldn't want to get caught doing it. :)Quote:
