Hopkins turned down a fight with Kessler

[OumaFan]

4 million dolars a joke? I think that's hilarious. I mean shit he is already a millionaire. He only fought Oscar for about 8 million I think 4 million is pretty damn good for fighting Kessler. No one really knows who Kessler is in the states I would definitley take it.

Not that I really care much about this but wouldn't that be a reason not to take it, not the other way around? And 4 million would be less of a joke if he wasn't a millionaire.

If I was to take it seriously I would wonder what's going on with Kessler. This seems almost like posturing. He just needs to fight, anybody. If Bernard wants this fight he would set the terms, I always laugh at people calling him out, he is clearly not going to have terms dictated to him. Not by Kessler at least.

He's locked in a legal battle with his soon to be former promoter. He can't fight until it gets resolved (I think). I assume the supposed offer to Hopkins took place prior to this.

Haha with 1 or 2 Huge fights left before walking away for good he should do just that.Although Hopkins has had some potential biggie rematches go by the wayside....Calzaghe retiring....Jones being trounced and clearly finished.I'm betting he was rooting for Taylor in a big way before he fell to Froch.What a way to end career with a revenge win like that ?Who knows.

Kessler is a quality fighter but high mainstream interest on the Stateside stage and remaining in obscurity over in Denmark do not exactly go hand in hand.Kessler had solid momentum after his battles with Andrade and Calzaghe and since has for what ever reasons watched it fizzle.Seeing as its the end...Hopkins is going to want more than 4 mil and a fighter with higher visabilty.
