What the hell is the point of this fight being on PPV? B-Hop is old as fuck and Winky is getting up there too. The fight is happening at a 170 catchweight? That's weird. Neither guy has anything to prove. B-Hop "made history" by moving up and beating Tarver but what does he have to prove against Winky Wright? If B-Hop wins, so what? If B-Hop loses, so what? B-Hop is the "universally" recognized light heavy champ but if Winky wins, I highly doubt Ring will rank him as the champ at 175. If Winky wins, then he beat an old man up. There is nothing for either fighter to win or lose in this fight, there's no hatred or rivarly between them, essentially there's no title on the title, so there's absolutely no reason for this fight to be on PPV.
While the ODLH-Mayweather megafight could have been better, it was still a great boxing match and I didn't feel cheated out of my money. There was a lot for both men to gain by winning the match. That's a real reason for a PPV fight.
The B-Hop - Winky fight is a good fight for hardcore boxing fans like us but they shouldn't be parading this crap around on PPV. This is a quality HBO WCB fight, but because of the greed of B-Hop and Winky, fans have to purchase this meaningless fight on PPV?? That's fucked. If Winky wanted a big paycheck, then he should have fought the JT rematch for the guaranteed $5 Mil he was offered with a chance to make more from the PPV. If B-Hop wanted a big paycheck, then he should have brought down his ridiculous double digit paycheck demands to fight Masakev and move up to heavy. Double digits?? Is B-Hop serious? This is a guy who has never headlined a show on his own and isn't popular or a crowd favorite. Both those fights would have meant a lot more than this one and they would have made more money. If JMM-MAB only did 225,000 PPV buys, what in the hell makes these two crooks think they are gonna do any better than that? I like both fighters but they are being extremely greedy. Please Saddonians, don't support this garbage PPV.
