    Stay busy fight while he waits for Jones to fight Green.

    HBO have only done three PPVs this year, I think we can pretty much guarantee they ain't doing one on a wednesday night for Hopkins v Patsy and Jones on a tape delay.

    It's not a waste of time. He's been out of the ring a year and, by the time of the Jones fight, it would be closer to 18 months. It's a tune up fight, nothing more and he's not selling it as such.
     
  10. this would be lucky to get on VERSUS let alone HBO ppv

    Getting the "W" has only ever been Hopkins' primary concern; if he looks good getting it, then that's a bonus.

    And what does it matter if he does look bad at this point?
