If Bernard could truly get revenge over Roy it might be different, assuming he cares about that which he probably does, but that's not really the case here.

Bernard is a smart guy, unless this comes out to be clearly more money than he would make somewhere else he'll probably look elsewhere.

Would people really rather see this than Bernard-Adamek, or Bernard-Dawson? Not that I think he'll fight Dawson but you never know.
I don't really see the Hopkins options you see, nor see them as winning options.

Adamak would likely bloody Hopkins for the first time proper and Dawson would or should outwork him.

They are not big money fights for anyone.

Jones Hopkins would actually generate some interest and a little bit of money. And I dont see Hopkins having his own way at all. Hopkins isn't all that at all. Especially at 45. Pretty sad seeing him go on this long really. The whole legend thing is not for me at all, especially having such issues with Taylor and calling out everyone over 170 when they should be at 160.
