Adamek Turned Down $1.2 Million To Fight Hopkins?

hmm says... yeah i saw that. BHop looked like...hmm wtf?!

 

Adamek team claimed they were initially offered 500 k$ total, without any percentage for PPV.

The offer was raised finally to 1 mln only when the negotiations went dead, but I understood the one of the main problems was that you never know how serious Hopkins was. That is at least Adamek version. It looks those versions are of almost by a factor of 2,5 (500k to 1,2 mln) ;-)

I would be more interested in Adamek-Hopkins than in Adamek-Godfrey as well, but as they say "better an egg today than a hen tomorrow".

 

Bernard Hopkins is a legend. If I was Adamek, I would fight him for the prestige and financial reward.

 

According to Pat English, Adamek's lawyer, Bhop is a liar and the most he was offered was 500k.

Here's an interview with him for those who read Polish:

This is pure BUll****

Hopkis said that to dont get embarassed on d TV LIve

Ive'seen many interviews with him saying himself that the offer was 500k , and he was bitchin there that he was fighting for even less money On his title defences,

Pat englisch -adameks lawyer already said that it is a fuking lie and that GBp werent even offering mentioned above 1 mln NEVER ,

Im waiting now for the Main events statement saying that for 1.2mln The fight can take place anywhere anytime , and we'll see whos telling the truth and who is a Fukin Lier

 

I think that it's BS, Adamek would have taken 1.2m if it was offered to him, even though he deserved more, in a fight like that.

I can't understand why Bhop is so worried about collecting every little penny when he is already filthy rich.

 

I think that if Adamek's camp would receive 1.2 mil offer from GB, Tomasz would be in the ring with Hopkins even tomorrow

 

Why doesn't Hopkins' people try Kessler?

;-)

Just kidding, if I were Hopkins I would go for Adamek too. Adamek is just right for Hopkins.

So who's the ***** here ? I think it's clear... :roll:

 

Hopkins should just have kept his mouth shut before, instead of making excuses now..

 

how much was the split. Thats the question.

 

Right that's the real question.

 

there was no split , 500k to show up in the ring
