    Exactly. And Businesses are out for taking in $$$$$. Where's the SPORT in this disgrace? I think Danny Green shook a whole lot more than RJJ's equilibrium...

    I think you misunderstand this fight, I don't think its being made to make **** loads of money. I think it is getting made so both their egos can be satisfied - bernard to avenge his loss and rjj to prove hes not ****.

    If its ppv then people don't have to buy it so who cares I'd rather people fought for pride etc more often boxing is a business but if two men want to fight in spite of that then let them and sit quietly in your armchair and watch something else

    I couldn't care less about this fight. Maybe Bowe and Lewis can finally meet on the under card...

    Which corner will Eddie Futch be in? :) In Paraty now mate, leaving for Iguassu in an hour (long trip). Have had a ball. Brazil is amazing... Not that I'm telling you anything you don't already know!

    Old Eddie has his steady hands full as the ref mate. :tong

    Never been to the Falls, although the border crossing will leave you a few $$ lighter.

    No i think your the one who's misundestanding this fight , OF course they are fighting for the money if they were fighting for ego only they would both be busting a gut to get Calzaghe back in the ring after he made mugs out of them both , and yes your quiet correct i will paint my skirting boards and sit quietly watching it dry from the comfort of my armchair before i PPV for this **** .

    Calzaghe didn't make a mug out of 43 yr old Hopkins. I scored the fight to Calzaghe myself but Bhop landed the cleaner work in the fight but didn't seem to have the stamina/workrate of Calzaghe's slaps to win on points.

    Like I said, I'll usually watch anything.

    ANYTHING!

    Womens boxing.

    Two ****knuckles down the pub arguing over where they parked the car.

    ANYTHING!

    But I won't watch this fight.

    for rjj the money is good, for bhop its a chance to reverse a loss HE SEES as being legitimate and they both don't like eachother, they could make more money fighting other people and calzaghe has retired.

    Mate i love how you fail to mention how Hopkins ran like a ***** and had to fain low blows to buy his sorry old arse time to survive that don't pass as a FIGHT, imo one guy came to fight and the other to spoil and cheat his way through 12 rounds for the bucks .ps Hopkins looked pretty "Muggish" to me when Joe started taking the **** dry butt ****ing him in there . :lol:

    bute and dawson both bring more hbo money, hopkins will be lucky to get $2 million and green offered him 3mill i reckon the ppv will be square ring or golden boy not hbo
