Why in the world would Bernard Hopkins and Golden Boy Promotions issue a 24-hour deadline for a July match with Jermain Taylor, when we're ONLY IN MARCH?!?! Training camps take, at most, 12 weeks, and press tours take, at most, 2-3 weeks, so a July PPV fight only needs to be signed by about mid-April....
This deadline is BS, Hopkins is using this as a media stunt so that he won't look like the bad-guy, even though he knows that 1.5 million is about 1/2 of what Taylor is worth, & that a fight doesn't need to be signed in the next 24 hours in order to make it happen for July.
WE SEE RIGHT THRU YOU BERNARD! This BS deadline is exactly that, BS. This is Bernard's way of ducking Taylor and getting bitch-made Felix Sturm instead. What a travesty.
isnt that the same since nard and oscar are parnters???
Not really because Hopkins is definitly a silent partner type. He basically just gets a little bit of a check from Oscar for going out recruiting boxers, adding legitamacy and such. I know what your saying that Nard will get a little of Taylors money even if he loses, but Hopkins really isn't a promoter.
lol
This is really simple. If Taylor wants the fight, in his heart, he will take the money. He has plenty of time to think about it. This is more money than he has ever made. He is very young. I think he may be ready to beat Hopkins but maybe he doesn't believe it himself.
So sad.
Bring on Sturm then, maybe?
That and beating the wrong guys does not add credit to his name. Joppy, yes he is a good fighter..but certainly no marquee name. Raul Marquez was fighting when Jermaine was screwing the pegs on to his BMX mongoose.
If I do recall, Raul hammered Taylor good with a few shots and sent Taylor packing....Taylor cant deal with pressure he would fold...Raul hurt him, I could only imagine the shots that Hopkins would land on him...*ouch*
is nard still wanting options on taylor if they fight, as reported earlier this week????
i dont think sturm could beat nard or taylor, though i think he'd do well and deserves to fight them....
so what is Sturm's KO % again? less than 50%?!?! That's bitch-made, even my main man Johnny tapia, who never could punch hard, had a KO % over 50.
So just because he dont knock everyone out he's bitchmade? would you fight Sturm? If he beat the shit out you, what would that make you? If you wouldnt fight him, what would that make you? We are all entitled to our opinions, but no boxer is bitchmade. Not a single one. They all sacrifice their bodies for this sport, so support them, voice your opinion, or shut the fuck up.
Jermain doesn't have any fans despite the fact that HBO has been handfeeding him for a year. :bottle:

I think 1.5 million is Twice what Taylor is worth.
That is soooo right. A challenger pay is determined by how many people he is going to pull in to a pay per view fight. I don't think there is any way that Taylors name adds 1.5 million to any fight.
Now Tito and De la hoya could legitimatly ask for much more. Even Mayorga, but Jermain doesn't have any fans despite the fact that HBO has been handfeeding him for a year. :bottle:

Boxing isnt a sport about Knocking guys, hell Freitas had like 97% and got his ass handed to him.
Study the sweet science then come back to talk smack.
Sturm has 1 punch, a jab, the most basic of all punches, the Kid couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag, i was being a dick about calling him bitch-made, he is a decent fighter, but extremely one-dimensional.....
Taylor is the only legit contender to the crown, and Bernard's people are trying to rush the young contender into a quick payday by giving him bogus ultimatum's, why can't the deadline be April 10th? Or april 20th? This would leave plenty of time to promote the fight.....and besides, other than these 2 guys, who could bernard fight?
Thats absurd, Why give him until april 20th to think about it? The sooner he inks the deal the sooner he can get his butt in the gym and train for the fight of his life. What a bunch of bullshit. If he needs an extension to sign the contract it will only deter his training time. That is a pretty good offer for a prospect and this would leave him plenty of time to train.
Maybe Hopkins doesnt want to risk losing to the young prospect, knowing full well all he has to do is wait for Trinidad to finish his fight with Winky for a huge payday.
I really can't blame him. Although there really isn't a big chance of Taylor winning, just "easy" money for Hopkins.

cause he is a boxer fuck face he doesnt go for KO's he beats peopel up for 12 rounds just ask oscar
