And less then 2 weeks later they become business partners, all seems pretty suspicious to me but what do I know.
I don't buy it. #1. Hopkins was the favourite in the fight. If it was that DLH took a dive, it was for money and to cover a bet/spread- which meant that DLH had to be the heavy fav to win. And he wasn't the fav in the fight.

Secondly, a few years later DLH got DESTROYED by Manny Pacqioua (destroyed to a point where he took a severe beating and actually was forced to quit on his stool, at the urgency of Nacho Beristain) and robbed Felix Sturm. DLH was well past it....
