Hopkins called a LIAR by Team Adamek!!

edit

 

I would like to see Adamek calling out Hopkins in TV with agreeing 1 mln dollars for Adamek, rest will be passed to Hopkins, I wonder what they would do, especially I wonder what Hopkins would do then... probably said it's too late...

 

I was curious to hear this response, rather assuming BHop was getting a little creative in his question answering. Interesting to see if he's back on FNF and has anything to say about it.

Interesting fight for both guys. Hope BHop considers it a counter-offer. I have a feeling that "offer's off the table" will be the response, though (even if it was never actually on the table).

 

The hell with Bhop....boring *******!!!

 

id like to see this fight, see if adamek could walk through quite a bit of bernards work and stop him


theres not many realistic fights out there for hopkins. jones rematch, froch, adamek, dawson maybe

who else is there for him?

 

I have it on good authority from a respected American boxing writer that Hopkins bottled it from fighting Adamek.

 

?

Did he really say that?

 

Go watch hopkins v pavlik - educate yourself :good

 

According to Dan Rafael of ESPN, the perspective bout between boxing legend Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KOs) and IBF cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek (37-1, 25 KOs) is dead on arrival, because Main Events and Golden Boy were too far apart in their negotiations. The word is that Golden Boy was only offering Adamek a pitiful flat fee of $500,000 for the fight, which would be split between Adamek and his promotional company Main Events, whereas Hopkins and Golden Boy would get an estimate $4 to $4.5 million for the fight

BHOP..."Adamek and [promoter] Kathy Duva should be disappointed. They had a chance to fight a 44-year-old legend that he doesn't have on his résumé for a

. 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."

i guessed he didn't want to look bad on tv, so he lied.

 

Note to Adamek's team: call the bluff and accept now.

 

"Polish race" atsch

Team Adamek should go all over the media calling Hopkins a liar, I think in the end they might get what they want. $1.2M is not so terribly big for another chapter in Hopkins' history book, he should realize that.
