    I don't get it. Most people have Hopkins in their top 10 P4P lists - and he is only one division away from Green's division.

    How is challenging a guy who is one weight class different and top 10 P4P cherrypicking? Especially when Green is getting older himself and is a small cruiser.

    The guy you are replying to is just another mindless clown on the hate bandwagon - you can tell because what they say just doesn't even make sense.

    We will agree to disagree but bj was doing everything he could to be below the 195(went naked at the weigh-in) and green called him greedy for taking the xtra $$$$$ to come in lighter,
    We will prob never no as he has stated that there is no money in fighting any of the top cruisers, funny considering the BJ fight.
    I would have thought a unification fight for IBF,WBA,WBC would have made more cash than Green v Flores.

    yep fair enough i agree there was incentives to come in a bit lighter but it was bjs decision imo. i think that whoever green fights in australia will make a fair bit of cash, i think what hes doing is good, hes bringing out big names and getting them all over the country, to drum up support for boxing and himself of course, but his undercards are always fantastic and he gives great opportunities to lower level boxers eg matt garlett and pieter cronje. I think if b hops fights and loses to dawson i can see him fighting green.

    Green is a nobody on the world stage.he has recognised titles Green doesnt.you think everything that comes out of Greens mouth is gospel even though he has lied several
    times.a fight with Bute would be twice as big as Green
    Hopkins.you're a fool in the Aussie and a bigger fool here.look at the reactions from the Americans here noone
    gives a **** about seeing Green-Hopkins which means outside of Australia there would be no TV revenue.these
    people hate Green too i suppose.carry on i enjoy seeing you get owned like in your Meehan should fight Haye thread.:lol:

    Lets see $500000 for his last Fight ! 3.5 Mil to 5 mil I Australia. Boosting Boxing in a small Country just might Appeal to B-hop. Especially after he confused it with Austria

    There was no tv revenue outside of Australia for Green-Jones but Jones still got paid somewhere in the region of 5 million I think

    what nobodys mentioned is the exchange rate at the moment, aussie dollar is killing the american dollar , which could tempt b hop to come here and make even more of a killing

    As it's virtually all about the money these days the unusually strong Aussie $ is a factor not to be ignored.

    of course i would as an Aussie and i would give Green
    massive props for doing it.but look at the reaction here from Americans.noone cares about Danny Green outside of Australia and although this fight would sell well here in Oz in America nobody cares.they would rather see him fight Bute or even dull Dawson.

    I dunno if it's a case of nobody in the US caring - this thread's gone 11 pages in the general forum, not bad for no one in the US caring about Green :hey

    I think there is a lot of dislike for Green in the US because of the Toney sparring session and the RJJ KO. They know who Green is, they just don't like him.
