BHop is appealing for DQ victory

[erics44]

i understand where you are coming from bilbo, perhaps for the good of the light heavyweight scene the fight needs to happen

im not bothered tho, i wasnt bothered before the last one either

the card was packed with names which made it interesting

and its a phonebox not a phonebooth

It's the undisputed number 1 vs the undisputd number 2 in the division. It's the kind of fight that must happen for the good of the sport.

All this talk about them not being worth anything is overblown in my opinion.

If fans arent interested in either fighter then how do they both manage to get fights at all?

It may not make as much as the two fighters would like, but I highly doubt either could make more money fighting anybody else.

All you naysayers will be proved wrong next year when the rematch is made.

Just wait and see.

[Fenster]

They've already made more fighting Pascal. That's why Dawson was calling him out. And Hopkins $1 million purse (subject to sales), will be the lowest he's accepted for donkey's years.

You don't fight the toughest guy for the shittest money. Tough guy = big money. Bum = shit money.

Nobodies paying to watch a rematch between two guys they didn't want to watch in the first place. Especially after they served up an even bigger farce than the borefest most were expecting.

I don't know. I can almost see him using a aim high settle for less scenario, nc or nd. As crap as I think the call was it's like trying to herd cats at this point. I couldn't really see a clear case for DQ ing suplex Chad. If your in the moment and you actually had a fair minded in the moment ref, rather than an almost pre determined ref running on group think, at the most point(s) (intentional or unintentional) deduct and send Hopkins to corner for five minutes as we've seen others do numerous times and he continues or he doesn't if able. In 2nd it would be NC.

He retains the belt whatever it's reversed to but cannot see him retiring, frankly nor should he. I think a rematch would float and both should make it happen for self if not for anyone else. Controversy sells, so does revenge. I'll be in minority but I'll watch.

So you bought this PPV, right? And are willing to buy the next one?

[Phillips]

trust me they both made millions out of this fight and they have ripped off the genuine boxing fans that put they hard earned money into this sport. If they don't do a free rematch boxing will lose a lot of fans due to conmen like Bernard Hopkins.

[Fenster]

OK I trust you.

They both made millions (even though the maximum combined purses were $1.8m) and they will seriously consider doing a free rematch.

Bet you spend all day on the phone doing buis?

[Phillips]

U know shit. These American light heavyweights are a digrace to the sport. Call themselves world champions when they have never left their own country to fight. u know nothing if u think that they didn't get millions out of this fight!!

Both of them have fought outside of the United States, and if you don't think Canada counts you should meet Marlon wright.

Oh no, I haven't put money on ppv in about a year, stream. Watch it, not pay for it

That's the problem. If a hardcore boxing fan like yourself don't buy the fights why will a casual sports fan?

You're not the target audience. You (us) will watch the fights regardless.

However, casual fans make up the majority of buys (tickets/ppv). If you can't sell it to hardcores you can't sell it to "Rocky" wanting casuals.

[Phillips]

The referee has made his decision and there ain't no change gunna happen. If they change the result what was the point in having a referee for this fight.

[FinitoElDinamita]

This is where Bernard's foxyness comes into play. This is his negotiation tactic. He's asking for a DQ victory in order to get the NC..

Agreed. Like you say Bilbo, they are both at the top of there devision. The two best people fight to see who is the best, thats the way it should be. You have many other devisions where there are two people at the top that have no intention of fighting each other. For example: Floyd & Manny, Khan and Bradley, Martinez & Sterm. They have all been at the top of there devisions for a while but the fights are not happening because they will not fight each other, except Martinez and Khan who seem to want to fight everyone.
I for one enjoyed the last Pascal Bhop fight. Like you said, Bhop turned it around in the Pascal fight so how can you count him out in the Dawson fight.
