    I hope Hopkins earns enough for this fight so that he can retire for good. He may have been fighting for some time now but he only got to the million $ prize after fighting Trinidad. This may be the reason why he is still fighting until now. He might not have been able to build his nest egg. Is his business savvy nearer to Foreman or to Tyson? Hopefully he can retire after this fight.

    As for Calzaghe, well, time for him to catch up with what Hatton earned in his last fight.

    Hopkins has been set for a long while now. He fights for legacy.

    Hopkins will be getting $8,000,000 for this fight.. the second highest payday of his career.

    Good to hear this. Is he known as a business savvy guy? Tyson earned a lot and we thought he is set for life. Then suddenly he declared for bankruptcy!

    Same. Plus a load of £75 mark ups on tickets he was given to sell.
