    In the studio of Polsat ( polish TV ) journalist Mateusz Borek said that a little while ago Adamek called Polsat and said that all conditions of B-Hop fight are close to agree. They are gonna fight in Madison Square Garden in New York City or Prudential Center in Newark and all will be showed by HBO, probably in PPV.

    So ... Let's get ready to rumble...

    PPV? How many times does Hopkins have to **** out on PPV before they realize that he's not MADE for PPV.

    Anyways this will be a great fight if they live up to the expectations.

    It's not an official statement yet, but conversations between GBP and Main Events are so much advanced. Who knows what about PPV, that's just a suppose, we will see. The most important thing is that fight's gonna happen and WORLD AWAITS already ;)

    How many times is Bernard going to have to prove me wrong:lol:

    I just got this feeling that B-Hop thinks Adamek is just a bigger version of Pavlik which he aint. This cat has some serious skills

    It's the best fight out there. Hopkins is a legend, Adamek is borderline top 10 p4p and the best fighter in his division, it's a brilliant fight. Can't wait.

    I hope not, but I wouldn't be so sure. This is GBP and will have the backing of HBO. Great fight to be made, but I would be more surprised if it wasn't on PPV.

    I love bernard, but put me on record as saying Adamek will destroy him. I know, I know, NO ONE destroys bhop, but I have a feeling this one will be different -- too old, too far out of his element against a much larger, younger, skilled fighter.

    This is a very good fight that seemed to come together effortlessly. I don't think it will end up on ppv but you never know. I like Hopkins in a very close match up.

    The reason why i say that is because in rafaels notebook yesterday he wrote about the fight being close to a deal, and in the chat transcript he said it would be on hbo. i hope hes right
