Great, I'm looking forward to it.
Now if the WBC can take this same stance and make Canelo fight Kirkland, like they originally said they would, you won't hear any complaining from me for all of 2012 lol

HBO signed Hopkins to a 3 fight deal just prior to the Pascal rematch.
If hopkins doesn't get his $1+ million dollar payday that he wants, he could easily drop the WBC belt and still be The Ring Champion, which is better than all the other alphabet titles. Just sayin.

Its not happening
HBO is not offering them money.
Only way it happens is if they take a big pay cut. Otherwise Hopkins is dropping the belt to avoid the fight

Other factors could include who else is available for Hopkins. If and this is a big IF, Bute for example said he wants to fight hopkins next best believe hopkins will travel to canada in a heartbeat for a bigger purse.
Hopkins at age 47 is mostly about the money, legacy comes second.
