Re: Hopkins moving down in weight
Hopkins doesn't really offer Froch a big money fight. Hopkins is not a PPV fighter, his purse on Saturday was $1m to Kovalev's 500k. Whoever and wherever Froch fights next he's on that combined total minimum. Last time Hopkins was let near a PPV it did 100,000 buys.
Chavez jr's rematch with Vera is the most watched fight in the States this year.

Re: Hopkins moving down in weight
You Know more about Chavez's popularity in the States than me and I realise people would pay to watch him open an Envelope over there. However, if you've seen what Hearn classes as PPV over here, trust me Hopkins vs Froch would be PPV in the UK even if it was in Vegas and shown at 3am British time. And the fact that Hopkins purse was $1m on Saturday is further proof that it could happen because Hearn would guarantee him double that at least.

For sure it would be PPV over here (again - whoever Froch fights next that will be the case) but it wouldn't be in the States. Froch is not PPV in America. The whole idea of fighting Chavez jr is because HE is a PPV attraction with the right opponent, that's where the big purses come from, not the regular shows. I'm sure Hopkins would expect Golden Boy to promote it not Matchroom. If Eddie offered him a wad he'd want to promote it over here, can't see that in Hopkins plans

Re: Hopkins moving down in weight
I hear what you're saying, but I just think that apart from Floyd, for whatever reason (maybe we get mugged a bit) , the big money is just as attainable over here for the rest .Ha!Just looked back and noticed you're a brit! sorry for trying to "teach Granny to suck eggs!"You Know more about Chavez's popularity in the States than me and I realise people would pay to watch him open an Envelope over there.

for example , it's widely reported that Froch got £8m ($13m) and Groves £1.5m ($2.5m) for their last fight. if that's the case , who (Including Chavez) earns anything like that ?
I fully take on Board that Chavez is PPV and sells well while Hopkins isn't, but I reckon even if Hearn did a joint promotion with Golden Boy and it was in Vegas , (but PPV in the UK) , that Froch could earn £4m ($6.5m) and Hopkins at least £2m ($3m) .
Better still I reckon they would give Hopkins over £1m to come over here and beat Bellew and Cleverley on the same night!

Re: Hopkins moving down in weight
Hopkins has been known to bet on his own fights. He bet on the Tito fight as well as the Tarver fight. Maybe he bet his $1mil against Kovalev and lost it all.
He probably really needs a big payday before retiring.
What about Sturm in Germany?

Re: Hopkins moving down in weight
There is really nothing in it at this stage for the legacy of his opponent no matter who it is and as @Fenster correctly points out, its not that big a fight cash wise either. And if he were to beat you......
The Welsh would have a field day
Good luck promoting that one. Everyone in boxing saw what happened. The man has zero left outside his own mind. He never won a round. Any credibility that was left was taken last Saturday. I mean seriously all of a sudden at 50 175 is to bigThats a rationalization of a deluded mind and almost all greats fall prey to it. "I know I got one more left"
And lol @ Floyd
Other boxing circles are suggesting the Kazak. I just cant see it. He saw what happened and has to much self respect to pick up the bat and hit that horse one more time.

Re: Hopkins moving down in weight
This is harsh. He was clearly the smaller man v Kov and has no power at the weight. I have no doubt 168 would be a much better weight for him. Saying he had nothing left is just wrong. He comfortably beat Murat, Shumenov and Cloud in his 3 fights previous who are all probably top 20 light heavies. He also beat Pascal who is a top 10 LHW. He just got beat by a better fighter hands down. I dont think age had much to do with the loss and still think a Hopkins of 5 or 10 years ago would have lost to Kov.There is really nothing in it at this stage for the legacy of his opponent no matter who it is and as @Fenster correctly points out, its not that big a fight cash wise either.

Looking at boxrecs top 10 SMW there are plenty who Hopkins would still be trouble for. THe Dirrel brothers, Sturm Stieglitz and Abraham and hed be a nightmare for Chavez Jr.
