    I can't really see Roy hurting Hopkins, that's for sure. And Hopkins is so motivated for this and wants to hurt Roy bad. I hope it's not a blow out but your assessment of Taver-Jones III makes sense and is a good comparison.

    Boring fight. I doubt I'll bother finding it on Youtube after.

    How can you say it's a boring fight. Just the variables for this fight make it interesting. I have a hard time believing 2 guys who hate each other this much will make for a boring fight. A blow out, maybe, but this won't be a snoozefest.

    Taylor-Hopkins II pulled in 410,000 PPV Buys.
    Tarver-Jones III pulled in 415,000 Buys.

    safe to say we can expect at least 400 k

    I expect more tho... I ear alot of people around saying there going to buy it

    HBO really really should have shown this for free. It would have gotten big viewer numbers

    It might do decent PPV numbers, it might bomb though. Remains to be seen

    I seriouslt doubt Roy would risk making nothing for the fight. Especially when he could fight an Omar Sheika type fighter in Pensacola and guarantee himself $750,000-1mil

    Hopkins got under 200k buys for Pavlik. Jones got 225 with 24/7 for Calzaghe. This will bomb. 400k is a pipe dream
