Hopkins vs. Pascal is PPV

While we are definitely looking forward to this one (on regular), I can understand GBP putting it on PPV. It's an expensive match-up and not many casual US fans know Pascal or care about ol'Hopkins anymore, so instead of doing poor ratings on regular, GBP is trying to rip off the hardcore base to cover the expenses. Given Hopkins' non-ability to make negotiating compromises and Pascal being lazy, I don't see any other way making this fight this year but to raise the purses and put it on PPV. Joke of a PPV of course unless it gets a REALLY packed undercard, but it won't. At least the crown will be alive, and that is something nowadays.

 

I want Pascal to retire Bhop but Bhop will win this he picked Pascal for a reason.....

 

This will be a cagey defensive fight to, most probably boring to the general casual.

Its stuff like this that turns people off Boxing imo.

Stack the undercard with top! prospects who are in tough if want it to be a success.

 

Quite a shame, because this is actually a good fight. Should define the top dog of 175.

 

i read somewhere that Morales could be on the undercard! maybe Lemieux will be on it if we are lucky!

 

Showtime first wanted Green-Bika to be on the undercard. That shows that they are working on a decent undercard.

P.S. I know, Green is ****, but to have the opportunity to see Bika dismantle him would have been great.

 

nobody paying to watch hopkins old ass lose...

 

My nutsack is PPV.

 

I will!:yep

 

I would not buy this if you paid me.

 

How gay.

 

:goodLol, I like Hopkins but after the crap he pulled against Calzaghe & Jones in the rematch I don't want to see any more new fights from him. The exception would be if he puts on a clinic but I doubt it though it's possible.

 

I wanna see david lemieux on the undercard.

 

This is rediculous. If Pascal/Dawson wasn't a PPV, than Pascal/Hopkins sure as hell shouldn't be a PPV.
