Adamek vs Hopkins latest report...NO GO.

only significant fight of Adamek's career. He got whooped. And now he thinks he's in a position to negotiate?

 

edit

 

Adamek= titles, gate $(in newark), foreign revenue
Hopkins= name recognition, hbo
Adamek-Hopkins= 50/50 split

 

The Brits can't accept that a Euros dominate cruiserweight?

What the **** are you smoking man?

 

Just that about every Brit here claimed Enzo as the best CW proves it.

Just backtrack posts and you will see.

Nothing against you bud, nor all Brits, just most of them that hyped Enzo to the max as the best next thing.

 

Hopkins v Jones two is increasingly looking looking more realistic:dead

 

err no

 

ERRRR Yes. :yep

 

nah

 

Factors mitigating against this fight:

This is not a very winnable fight for Hops. (20 % chance at best).

And the purse needs to be close to 50/50.

Perhaps a slight edge to Bernard.


Half a mil is totally laughable.

 

That fight was more significant for Dawson than Adamek.
At that time Dawson was rather unknown and Adamek was considered as
one of the best LHW. That win gave Dawson ticket to big fights ...
Johnson, Tarver ... and since he can't fight anybody more significant ... Tarver II.

Adamek after then had no less significant track with wins over Bell and
Cunningham, gaining Ring title. Dawson other way gain bad reputation
by ducking Diaconu and setting on the nonsense rematch with Tarver.

The problem with HBO is that most customers are from US and they
want to cheer their hometown boys as Dawson or Hopkins.
The problem with Adamek is that he aint US hometown boy
and HBO customers are not willing to pay Adamek for seeing
the hard beating delivered to US living legend ...

Thats not mean Adamek should take whathever they trow at the table ...
the negotiations for Haye-Wlad were also long but they finally got settlement.

 

Actually you are wrong.
Its noting bad that Brits are cheering their own hero.
It just proves that they put a lot of attention to this division, and the
fact Enzo got stretched again has nothing to do with British (even
hypothetical) lack of acceptance for European domination in this division.
GB is part of EURO .. as Pole you should know where your country
boy plumbers are working Not to be shy but Haye was British too.

If you don't agree probably then Poles cheering Adamek also don't
accept Euro domination ... that sound like a nonsense to me.

 

Ridiculous dispute as Britain is part of Europe.
