We do have weekly fights actually, we have our own friday night fights. Aussies love watching their own fighters fight and Hopkins is known by some fans but more fans in Aus would know who Green is. Most people i spoke to about Jones vs Green had no idea that Jones had even been good earlier in his career. Some thought he was a nobody so they arent going to have a clue who Hopkins is (i think Roy Jones is more famous then Hopkins).
