    Default Hopkins and RJJ go at it on podcast!!

    Hopkins wants 60-40, RJJ wants 60 to the winner 40 to the loser cant argue with that as Nard aint exactly in the PPV big league and RJJ cant get a slot on HBO without another big name.

    Jones is hilarious and at the same time talking complete sense.

    Jones Jr already beat Hopkins quite decisively. In fact I like the idea of winner takes 60%. All fights should have that kind of motivational factor. Of course, BHop cannot handle the conversation.

    Agreed on the motivational factor!

    Come to think of it when there are pre fight verbal jousts, I've never heard anyone publicly say "Ok lets make a side bet then big mouth" and put them on the spot right there and then in front of the cameras and fans.

    I actually would mind because it’s not fair for RJJ who’s well past from his prime and I think he should retire now after schooling Lacy.
    I agree they should have fought long time ago even if Roy would have beaten BHop in any point of his career before Ruiz fight IMO.

    Why doesn't Hopkins want to make this fight? When it was suggested that the winner takes all he disappeared. imo he would be the favorite in this fight & its a chance to avenge his loss.

    I agree this fight should have been made years ago (& I would have favored Jones) but I can't understand why B Hop ain't jumping at the chance to show Roy up... RJ even said Hopkins can pick the judges!

    Wow, im surprised that Bernard would not accept 60-40, winner taker the lions share. Sounds very fair to me. Roy has more to lose too imo.

    Surely if you think that Lacy was schooled he should fight on, or is it an acceptance that Lacy wasn't a threat and therefore even though he was schooled it was a meaningless fight.

    Agree that it should have happened an age ago, some of these fights are just people trading on their name and I believe it's a bit of a let down for the paying public.

    They fought in their primes and Jones won. Why do we need to kow who's aged better?

    60% to the winner sounds really good..If BHOP feels he can't loose he would simply say BRING IT ON! But Looks like he doesn't want to loose on both ends...On the cash and in the ring..
