hopkins chickens out!

There's an old saying that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

You should have paid attention to it. (Obviously, this extends to keyboards as well.)

 

I am disappointed in Hopkins.

 

What has the world come to for people to believe anyone is afraid of fighting Danny Green.

For christ sake people. Get real.

 

Hopkins came to his senses? Oh, good. Fighting Green is beyond pointless. And needless.

 

Who the hell cares about seeing Danny Green fight Hopkins? You must be from Australia cause i can tell you that fight is not appealing to too many people in the US.

 

Biggest money fight for Hopkins at this time. Rematch with Jones?

 

Danny aint no punk... but he gets schooled by bhop.


no worth seeing, not worth the time BTW:good

 

In Australia it is different.

 

Calling a 45 year old fight a coward is stupid. The fact that his old ass even gets in the ring is remarkable. He's making history ever time he steps in the ring based on his skill level at this age. He's a coward because he doesn't want to fight a Cruiserweight? A divison he's never really competed at? Lets wait and see what Danny Green is doing at 45.

 

After he beats haye he should give holyfield a shot.

 

Don't laugh but from what I heard Holyfield is one of them names on the table for Danny Green's next fight...

 

it's a wise move.....he's ageing.....and a ko may kill him....

 

Discussions ended Tuesday night with the sides going their separate ways because of a money dispute, promoter Gary Shaw, who is serving as Green's adviser, told ESPN.com.The crux of the dispute, according to Shaw, was Hopkins' demand for a 60-40 split of the money in his favor instead of the 50-50 deal Shaw said they had previously agreed upon.
"Green will not move off 50-50," Shaw said. "B-Hop will wait forever for 60-40."
Shaw and Green met in Los Angeles two weeks ago with Hopkins' promoter, Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy, to peruse numbers and hash out a deal for a cruiserweight fight that would have taken place in April on pay-per-view in Australia and on HBO in the United States.
"We thought we had a deal at 50-50 when we left Richard's office. We had gone over all the numbers Danny did in the Roy Jones fight," Shaw said.
Shaw said he then went to HBO and negotiated the rights fee with the network, which had offered more than $2 million for the bout. The scenario called for the fight to be on a Sunday afternoon in Australia so it could be televised live in the U.S. in prime time on Saturday night.
"After I met with HBO, Danny spoke with Bernard once or twice and Bernard suddenly changed the deal," Shaw said. "He told Danny he wanted all of the HBO money because he was bringing HBO, which wasn't accurate because I was the one who went to HBO and negotiated the money."
Shaw said the deal they had previously agreed to was 50-50 with Hopkins being guaranteed at least $3 million.
"Once Bernard changed the deal, Danny said it was a non-starter," Shaw said. "So let them go their separate ways."
