Hopkins turned down a fight with Kessler

[Fenster]

This is actually old news from Feb/March time.

As for $4million not being a good offer... that amount would be one of his best ever purses, I think only against Oscar, Tarver and Calzaghe would he have bettered it. He got $3m for both Winky and Pavlik.

Hopkins has NEVER been a good seller. He just did a pathetic 190,000 PPVs with Pavlik. You don't get Oscar/Hatton/Mayweather money with numbers like that.

There are no huge money fights left for him.

Dawson is a complete nobody outside the hardcore - proven by his pathetic numbers with Tarver. Adamek was offered peanuts so Hopkins could make a decent wedge. His last BIG money fight was Jones, which was verbally agreed, apparently, but obviously Calzaghe ruined it.
