Hopkins/Green off

[Themantonio]

Serzly who does Danny Green think he is? Does he have any idea that outside of Australia on the world boxing stage he is still a fringe contender?

I do agree though that if the fight was held here is Aus he's the draw but maybe 45/55 split still for B-Hop if he really wants to get the guy out here.

Isn't boxing less popular in Australia then even America? Either way, NO FCKING WAY. Australia, America, Pluto, it doesn't matter where the fight is Hopkins is giving him a shot, not the other way around.

I was under the impression that boxing was more popular in Australia than in America or the UK... of course I have nothing to base this on. I just always got that impression.

It's not the first time that Hopkins make unreasonable demands, he wanted to give Adamak a famine like 500 000 to fight him and to bank all the rest. I understand that the old man is on his last miles and wants a huge check to say farewell but it's not a reason to attempt a serious bank robbery.

agree especially in the Adamek fight, seeing how Adamek has a pretty good following himself, especially in Jersey where i think the fight would be huge

Thank god. I didn't wanna see that fight anyway.

Hopkins vs Dawson or Hopkins vs Adamek are far more interesting fights.

Damn it thats fucked, i was hoping it would happen so i could go to it. Id only be going to see Bernard Hopkins fight because that would be a once in a life time chance but still it would of been good.

Hopkins will not fight in Aus, he made Joe fight in the US and he will do the same with Green.

I don't know about the boxing popularity in either place, regardless Hopkins should get 60% at least or it is a slap in the face. B-Hop is in everyone Top 10 p4p list. Mr. Green will never see that list, so I def agree I don't care where this fight is being held.

Danny Green is a household name over here, Bernard Hopkins is not. Sure if the people were told that Hopkins is a future of Hall Of Famer they would want to go even more but at the end of day alot of people in Aus have no fuckin idea who is. So for danny to ask for 50/50 when he would be the major draw is not that bad.

OK I was always under the impression that boxing in Australia really doesn't get much airtime on TV at all and that there is no regular fights on TV like Friday Night Fights or whatever in the US. Maybe I was lead wrong. Still, I really doubt the fight would be in Australia (or Europe as B-Hop calls it ), even if it was that logic doesn't really make sense. He may be the bigger draw in Australia but who has more options? Obviously it's B-Hop and he could be fighting fighters with a lot higher ranking in the sport who would be glad to take a smaller split just for the fight.

Hard to believe even a casual fan hasn't heard the name Bernard Hopkins... But you live there I don't so I'll take your word for it.

Well it makes enough sense. If they don't have weekly boxing (which I'm pretty sure they don't) and the only time they show bouts are like when Mundine and Green (Mirovic maybe? ) fight then it might be harder to track the international fighters. For example, I know like 2 f1 drivers yet it's an international sport with a much higher profile then Nascar of which I can name probably 100 drivers.
