Did that guy forget what it takes to survive without money all of a sudden? I mean, there's 3 sides to every story but damn, a baby without a home.

I think that there is more to the story then just him being 2 weeks behind in rent but either way it seems like a bad situation...and I for some reason think it is not like they were thrown out in the middle of the night into the cold weather or that Demetrius did not have funds for another apt....
Besides there are laws preventing such things...you need to have a court order to just throw someone out
I very much doubt Demetrius had no money and no where else to go. Anyone heard BHOP's side of the story?
Bx730NY u need to get a job writing for a tabloid with a stupid heading like the one u wrote.
I'd like to hear what bhop has to say.

I think comments like that show that your knowlege of boxing is not that extensive.
:punchangry:
I'm not a Hopkins fan but the man is not washed up...He is actually a phenom to be able and perform the wat he does against much younger comp.....At his age you will be worring about if you can even get it up let alone be a world class fighter...Quote:

Ok this thread has gotten the weirdest response I think since I've been here on Saddos:confused:
All the other threads about B Hop people post how he's a racist, arrogant, rude, obnoxious etc and how they want to see Calzaghe knock him the fuck out.
Then a claim is made by his nephew that he threw him, his fiance and their six year old son out into the street and all of a sudden everyone is wanting to hear Bernard's take before they criticise the man?
I just can't work you people out :p
An expression I've become fond of as of late comes to mind: familiarity breeds contempt.
You wouldn't walk out of a barber shop without paying for a haircut, you wouldn't get a #2 at McDonald's without first ponying up and you can't get a tank of gas without paying. Hell, in my hometown they put a boot on your car if you have an unpaid ticket.
Paying your light bill late without being in the dark however long is a gift. They owe you no more electricity than what you've paid for. Rent is no different.
Assuming what D-Hop is saying is true he's still in the wrong. I don't know renter's rights in Pennsylvania, but 'switching banks' is a lame excuse for not paying the rent. I'd understand if he'd fallen down a well, but I bet if he needed a 20 spot to get a bag of Cheetoh's he could get his hands on it.
I'd bet this wasn't the first time he wasn't late.
Demetrius is the one responsible for keeping a roof over his family's head, not his uncle. If he found himself out on the street because A BILL WASN'T PAID, please go back and read the words in all caps.
I've been late with the rent before. Lucky me I had renter's rights and knew what they were. But it doesn't change the fact that I wasn't handling my responsibilities properly. For Hopkins to think that his uncle owed him an additional loyalty because of a blood relation shows that he holds contempt for his uncle on at least a subconscious level and that he will use that to shirk his responsibility. He should be angry with himself. Would they have been booted if the rent had been in on time? Not in this particular situation, at least.
It's time for the boy to grow into a man and stop blaming people for the things he does wrong.
the fact is we dont know all the facts and how things are between them, and it really isn't anyones buisness but theres as they are a family and familys hace fallouts, for all we know they may have had a string off fallouts that have lead to this matter
theres always many sides to a story, so people should ignore one sides version.
if theres something people should learn in life is familys fallout then either make up straight away or it drags for years, most of the time over miner things
makes u wonderQuote:

Hopkins just throwing them all out over rent being 2 weeks late...Like I said in my other post there are laws against that...If anything Hopkins would need a month to get them out.....and if anything I don't think Hopkins just threw his 6yr old great nephew into the cold homeless with no where to reside......Just sounds like a crock to me but thats just my opp
You gusy alos gotta understand B-Hops character. Hes a man who nothing came easy for him and he sees things like this as nothing more then a lesson learned.
I def. see and understand the child out and all BUT that's not his child that's D-Hops child.
Maybe D-Hop was just riding out his welcome stay for too long and got a little too comfortable...
I'm sure in a few hours fightnews will have something from B-Hop...

I went through this with my Older Sister (Of 4) not to long ago.She HAD to see the light and realize that once you have children Its a whole new ballgame and You are living for Them Priority.No Matter what You have to do,No matter how many jobs you have to hold,I dont care If you have to collect cans and donate plasma once a week ......Raise those Kids RIGHT.Let them want for nothing!!! My father told me once In the bad old days when It was white rice and pork & beans every night "I will always love you.......But sometimes I dont 'Like' you" That hurt But It helped straighten my s!!! up and coarse correct Asap.
Sorry to Over personalize It....Long Week.

If Hopkins was that mad about Demetrius being late on the rent,but if he'd otherwise been a good tennant,it would have made more sense to hit him with the late fees and go on from there
