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

  1. They subscribed to Hbo to see Hopkins fight? Haha
     
  2. You are brilliant. Hopkins is 48 and he is going to try to build a fan base? Maybe your right, maybe he will have like a total of a 113 fans after the fight

    He humiliated Don King and knocked off King's last remaining fighter.

    Nobody puts Donny in a corner.

    Yeah, at 48, you don't stop trying to get money cause you turn 48. He is not building cause he has a large fan base. He is adding and he just wanna fatten it for his last fight. That will definitely be on Showtime. His last fight is gonna be huge because it's the end of a legendary career. Think outside the box. Do I have to get a box of crayons and draw this **** up for you? Everybody will wanna see that. You might not watch it but let the 113 people that live with you watch it please. Don't hate.:lol:

    You're the only idiot saying its only because of Hopkins and can't acknowledge the opponent plays a major role in how a fight sells. Tell me, do you think Hop sells more than 99% of all other pros?
     
  8. This guy says Hopkins last fight is going to be huge, hahaha. Nobody gives a **** about Hopkins, he is does not draw fans, he is boring as ****, and fight fans don't give a **** about a last fight, they care about a good fight, not flopping on the ground and acting like you broke your arm, when your getting your ass kicked, I bet the people that went to see that fight were pissed, but they deserved it, who goes to see a Hopkins fight? Haha

    He's a bigger draw than most.

    13,000 people showed up to his fight with Cloud (who didn't bring much of a fan base) and Hopkins regularly produces good turn out at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

    I certainly care Bernard has been a credit to the sport of boxing. You don't see him in clubs all over ho's or drunk. He's a happily married man & a rich one to boot.
    Talking about drawing power. What happened to Mayweather's drawing power the PPV results against Guererro were VERY disappointing Folk are fed up with his cherry picking Not before time either

    You know, I tried to get you to think but it must be too hard for you. :think
     
  12. For a guy that has been boxing at a high level for 20 years and has titles it's laughable. I know he doesnt like to fight white guys anymore. He said a white guy could never beat him, and then a white guy gave him a boxing lesson. Probably why he is not fighting cleverly, haha.
     
  13. Funniest post yet. Hopkins is convicted felon, a well known racist, and a cheater. Not to mention fights in many boring fights. Hopkins is a very well known Cherry picker, 3 times more than Mayweather

  15. Everybody knows espn is a stepping stone that airs smaller level fights, don't act like you don't know
