Hopkins/Green off

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.

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.

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.

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.
