I cant imagine this selling, who's the draw? Hopkins i guess but he cant draw on his own he needs someone opposite him and Dawson doesnt have fans.

It actually saves HBO money putting the fight on PPV doesn't it? Their piece of the PPV will cover the wages for the commentators etc and they don't have to pay the fighters because the fighters money comes from the PPV.

One of the best matchups that can be made in boxing, hopefully it translates to a good fight.
Not the best scenario, but Hopkins last 2 fights have had good performances as far as ratings, if this fight can pull in close to or over 250K, it'll be a success. B-Hop brings in good ratings, but doesn't come cheap (last I heard $3-5M per fight).
HBO is put into a position where he drains their budget and has to go on PPV to save money for other dates.
