    Great news. Speak with your wallets and don't buy this shit.

    And Pugilistic - they should be allowed to get some paydays?? Excuse me? Both these guys are millionaires many, many times over - so now they should be allowed to take the piss out of boxing fans by staging this old-fart fest on PPV? Don't think so.

    If Hopkins wants a payday he should fight Adamek or move up and fight a heavyweight.

    I know he likes to stack the cards in his favour these days but I won't be paying for it. I won't be watching it either. Both of these guys were once great, but Hopkins is a money fighter these days and Roy is damaged goods - and I've no interest in seeing him get damaged further.
    I don't agree with it being a PPV or with the fight happening at all.

    I just ain't going to criticise them when they have given so much for the sport.

    You trying to tell me Hopkins gets more money fighting Adamek than Jones ? I don't think so.

    Hopkins actually wanted Green before Jones, but Green seemed to think he deserved 50-50 split.

    Hopkins plans on going to heavyweight after his fight with Jones, It will be against the winner of Haye - Ruiz.

    Hopkins is a money fighter ? Whether you like it or not, money concerns every fighter and if i'm correct Hopkins donated his purse from his last fight to charity. Yeah he's all about the money.


    He donated it to charity?

    He made $200,000 against Ornelas. He makes MORE just doing promotional work for Golden Boy ($250,000 per gig).

    All fighters chief concern is how much money they make. Hopkins is the daddy of chasing his most lucrative option. That's why he's fighting shot-to-bits Roy instead of Chad "worth two bob" Dawson.

    Legacy over money is something that only occupies fans minds
