Hopkins/Green off

[ElTerribleMorales]

Bernard Hopkins-Danny Green bout evaporates over money - ESPN

apparently Hopkins wants a 60/40 split, and Green wont settle for any less than 50/50, i don't think Hopkins went 50/50 with Pavlik who IMO is the bigger name and now Green thinks he's a big enough draw to be demanding a 50/50 split just cause he ko'd an old shot Jones, even at 60/40 it'd be the most money Green has ever made

I don't mind too much. It's not a fight that interests me really, I would still much rather see Jones Jr/Hopkins 2.

I know that isn't a popular thing to say, but I think Jones might be alright against an old Hopkins.

i don't really fancy either fight, i'd rather see Hopkins/Adamek at Cruiserweight or Hopkins/Dawson at Lightheavy

Yes, both of those would be very nice too. Hopkins has to do something after this warm up, so I'm very interested to see where he goes.

hell even a fight against Bute would be interesting, and if Bute won it'd make a fight between him and the winner of the Super 6 tourney that much more intriguing

That would be interesting...I was wondering why Bute wasn't in the super 6..

Jones just needs to stop whoreing himself and his legacy now

No. You're correct. Jones Jr. vs. Hopkins 2 is still the fight to be made. However, I think that Hopkins will take him out.

As for Green: he's delusional. Who the hell is Green to demand a 50/50 purse split against a man -- who was over 40 at the time -- that gave Kelly Pavlik a complete boxing clinic. Although Hopkins didn't look that good in his last fight, I think he'll be in great shape against Roy. Roy has become the victim of 'Father Time': his speed, reflexes and defensive skills have gone through a downward spiral and have exposed his chin.

Considering this, and Jones VERY suspect chin, it may seem curious that I would like to see Hopkins beat Jones. However, if Jones is willing to take the fight, which I'm sure he'll jump on, he opens himself up to whatever beating Hopkins brings to the ring.

I thinks it's a testament to Pavlik's insecurity over his skills that he didn't push for a rematch with Hopkins. Pavliks' stock dropped a lot after that clinic.

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

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.
