Why did Hopkins duck Adamek?And why is he a liar?

He makes this big announcement on ESPN that he's moving up to CW to challenge Adamek only to go on and lowball with a offer of $500K.Every report on every website named the exact same sum of $500K.Hopkins was caught on camera last week flat out lying and saying that they offered up $1.2 mill contrary to every report.Pat English Adamek's lawyer went on record a couple of days ago and called Hopkins out on his lie(English is the one who deals with contract).So in the end what caused the old man to get cold feet?

Just my opinion but he lied and threw out the sum of $1.2 to save face.He pussed out for whatever reason.....

Calling someone out and then pricing yourself out is a duck job IMO.

I fought William Joppy [in 2003] and I was a champion with 16 title defenses," Hopkins said.

"I made $300,000. Let's keep it real -- outside of the Polish race, who knows Adamek? Ask the nearest Mexican about Adamek and they will ask, 'who?' He beats Hopkins, he's marketable. I beat Adamek, so what? At the end of the day, some promoters negotiate for themselves first and think about the fighters second. That's what happened here."

Straight from the horses mouth.Bigreg care to dispute that?

Am i wrong in saying Hopkins is a flat out liar?

never trust a convict!

Caught off gaurd by the question so he flat out lies.

Ducked Adamek!!!!!

 

Any date on that article?

 

And that's why i asked.

The GBP spin machine is at work.

Find me an article that mentions $1.2 mill before the date of May 8 2009.I can give you about 10 that mention the lowball offer of $500K ON TOP OF THE WORDS STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH.

 

Not the point of the thread though.


Why did he flat out duck the fight and then go on and lie to try and turn it the other way around?
