    I'd leave it up to him. if I was king I'd promise to do my darndest to promote the **** out of the fight and give him a big cut of PPV revenue. if he really thinks he is worth $15 million then it should not be an issue.

    Man, I can't really understand this... Why he can't fight at 160? I honestly think that he can go that low but refuses.

    170.

    Almost guarenteed seeing as Tito fought there against Jones and Hopkins fought there against Pavlik. Both their more recent fights.

    If Trinidad wants $15M the what the fcuk is Hopkins supposed to get? Has Papa Trinidad suffered a bang on tyhe head recently?

    People who make demands like this are simply living on Mars!

    If he can't get motivated to get down to 160 I don't think he belongs in the ring.

    15 million? Tito is not worth that or anything close to that. Who does he think he is? He lost to Wright and Jones his last fights and he has not had a good win in years. Ridiculous. The only reason Tito is getting this chance is because Hopkins does not want to fight someone younger who can beat him. I like Tito and think he is a great fighter, but his time is past and he cannot think he is worth 15 million.

    Tito and RJJ did great on PPV so that's pretty much what he's thinking.

    Then again this isn't the first time Tito and company have made ridiculous demands. They wanted an Oscar fight at 165 at one point.

    This would be a pointless rematch to say the least....there is not point to it as Hopkins dominated Tito and stopped him late late time....and Hopkins did it at 160lbs....now a rematch at 170lbs....very pointless....Tito would lose quicker on the rematch then the first time...Hopkins in stronger and has been more active...so I see a easy night for Hopkins is this rematch happens

    Hopkins TKO9

    ^that's the truth

    Tito's my boy, but I think the fight is a missmatch at this point.

    fighting for money only, can get you seriously hurt

    Tito's a *****. Not only is he a greedy SOB and looking for another pay day but he's also lazy. At least if you're going to rob fans of your money, fight at your ideal weight so you come in ready to fight and give your fans their money's worth.
