Hopkins/RJJ is on - WTF?

[Fenster]

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

Theres the link. Hopkins donates to three different charities.
:: Golden Boy Promotions Inc. ::

In addition to fighting for his fans, Hopkins will be fighting for charity as he has committed to donating one dollar from each ticket sold to three select charities. Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley, to which Hopkins will donate in memory of Shaun Negler, one of his biggest fans, whose last wish was to attend Hopkins' fight against Joe Calzaghe before succumbing to brain cancer in late 2008 at the age of 18, will be one beneficiary. The second recipient of the fight's proceeds will be The Hero Thrill Show, an annual day of events designed to raise money for the education of relatives of deceased police and fire personnel killed in the line of duty while protecting Philadelphia. Finally, one dollar will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. in memory of Hopkins' deceased mother Shirley who suffered from breast cancer and in recognition of all those who are currently battling the disease.

They sold 6,000 tickets.

So it's gone from a $200,000 purse to $6,000 from the gate.
