What happen to the 24hr deadline given to Taylor by B-Hop? Do we have a fight?

the 24 hour deadline was a complete hoax, it was Hopkins' way of attempting to show that he was interested in fighting Taylor, so he offered the kid chump-change and tried to get him to take the bait, Taylor's crew didn't bite, and now they're starting all over with the negotiations, Taylor will now get closer to 2 mil

I bet a lot more light will be shed on this during Friday Night Fights this week when Bernard is working the corner of his nephew Demetrius in the main event and Taylor is the in studio guest

24hour deadline for a fight that would be 4 months away is not right and unfair

Taylor got a 1.3 million dollar SIGNING BONUS, before throwing a single punch as a pro

The signing bonus has nothing to do with the purse for a fight. Taylor was paid 500k for his last fight.

Of course it's on. It better be on. I predicted this **** and it better happen, because whenever I'm not right about something I have severe bouts with depression.

if i was taylor i would have taken what ever was offered because if he beats hopkins there is unlimited opputunities to cash in. every marquee fighter around his weight would call him out and he would at least get a 50-50 split of any purse.
