Yeah it was an obvious ploy by BHop. There must be some competition inside Golden Boy Promotions to see who can sell more PPV's than ODLH or something. But the only thing i'm wondering is what he's going to say if he loses? I remember when Anthony Mundine was fighting Sven Ottke, he said pre-fight (i think) that Ottke hits like a girl. And after some karma catching up with him and getting ko'd by a punch to the temple he said something like he still hits like a girl. So Ottke said well you got beat up by a girl then.

So what will Hopkins say if he loses? "But he fought like a black guy!"
