Compare Hops HBO number to kovalev's. Hops last fight on HBO drew more than Kovalevs last fight on HBO.
Didn't Kovalev say he wanted to fight Hopkins after his win over Cornelius White, saying that Hopkins is a legend and that he wants to touch him? You could argue he is piggybacking off the back of Hopkins
Insane numbers? Terrance Crawford a lightweight did better number than kovalev and I don't hear anyone calling his number "insane"
Dude you're no Eastern Euro and believe me those Russians don't give a fock about you. Don't worry though you still have Pauli malanaggi. As for me being afraid of change. Child please. We've been hearing this crap about eastern euro's taking over boxing for almost 20 years now which is comical considering the closest they've come to conquring boxing is Wladmir klitschko which isn't saying much.
That number is comparable to the numbers that regular Hbo fights pull. There is nothing exceptional about that number.
If Hopkins truly wants to fight, he has the power to make it happen. Kovalev's already made it clear he wants him! Not as bad as he wants Stevenson, but he seems to hate Adonis with a passion and want to hurt him truly bad... In any case Hopkins v Kovalev is in Bernard's hands. Please, BHop, make it happen!
