We have breaking news from right here in Ballys.

Demetrius Hopkins, who is supposed to be on the undercard tomorrow, just was arrested here in the hotel and led out. The reason is for owing $16,000 in back child support payments.

Dan Rafael

I can't believe that just happened -- right out there in the hallway from the media center I am in.

Update.

His manager, Cameron Dunkin, just told me the woman he owed the money to was already supposed to get $6,000 from his purse tomorrow and then the rest after the next fight. I guess it didn't work out that way.

Clearly arresting him after the fight would make more sense if they want their money...they just wanted to make a show out of it, lousy cops.

Dan Rafael

There was no show. It was all quiet without a crowd

Damn, that's rough. I would hope the fight is now off right?

I guess it would depend on if he can make bail, and get out.

And I'm not sure how it would work, as far as the weigh-in is concerned, because they didn't have it yet.

Oops, just after I posted that, this came up.

Breaking news!

Cameron Dunkin says they are going to get Hopkins out and he will probably be able to fight. They are going through the paperwork and if the judge allows it, he would fight and his debt would be cleared up on Monday. So we will see what happenes.

That would be shitty if he had to fight the day after getting arrested for owing child support. The cops knew where he was going to be why not arrest him after when he has earned something to pay her with.

See above.
