Why is B-Hop's 1st title defense on ESPN?

His opponent is still Cleverly's one and only top 10(ish) win, nearly 3 years ago.

 

How exactly do you know what Hopkins demographic of fans is? I'm just curious.

 

Really? Would you like to wager Hop vs Bute or Froch will be on HBO, Showtime or PPV?

 

Oh, people like Sheafer and ODH? Yeah that makes sense!

 

So in other words you have no source for this and are guessing, right?

 

Or more like 1.2 viewers subscribed to HBO against a relatively lesser known name in Tavoris Cloud.

 

Who has said this will be on ESPN?

 

except it's on showtime

 

Dude get this **** out of here. If he was from anywhere else, he'd be a national hero

 

Yeah I am brilliant and Hopkins is too. Make no mistake, if Hopkins wanted to fight on Showtime, he would've fought on Showtime. GBP would've made it happen. People that wanna see Hopkins is gonna watch him regardless of where he fights and by fighting on ESPN he will also pick up sports fans in general. He is gonna get paid regardless and it won't be chicken change. If you know anything about Hopkins, you would know that he has always been about his money. ESPN is shown in several countries. It's a good move. By the way, this ain't about Mayweather but if he did fight on ESPN I bet the ratings would be sky high. Mayweather just demands more money than they can deliver. Hopkins is not in his league on that. So the lesson today is think before you say ****.:bbb

 

Just a bull**** rumour then?

 

Less than many others

 

And More than 99% of all other pro boxers.

 

This guy keeps asking this stupid question, nobody wants to answer it because it's so stupid

 

He was using common sense reasoning. The Mexicans only support fighters that are mexican and wear sombreros, whites don't support a racist black guy that says a white man could never beat him, and blacks don't support the fight game enough to support a fighter, so he is pretty accurate
