Bernard isn't broke. I don't think money is the 1st priority for him now, only his legacy.
Problem is that Green thinks he's going to be a Hall of Famer for beating RJ jr. and that earns him to be the boss. It doesn't work that way. You have to earn credibility and he has none...
60/40 is fair. He won't get a bigger pay than this in the future.
Hopkins should have fought Adamek. He was supposed to get 7-8 million for that fight. Admek also accepted a 65-35 split/
yeah, i would rather see hopkins take him on.
I think this has a lot to do with the fact that Roy came out in the last week and said he would Gaurantee Bernard the first 3 million, and split the rest after that.
Say what ?
50-50 is bs. B-hop is living legend and Green should accept at least 60-40. On green's palce id accept 75-25, he thinks he if beated past prime Jones he is real deal.. dont think so. build your legacy by fighting best, selfish cun*
i'm quite sure he's thinking he can get more than 3 million in the states for adamek or dawson, and i really don't see that happening...
He knows he can't get it from Dawson, because HBO only put up 3 million total for that fight.

why are boxers so dumb!..who gives a shit what the other guy earns...work out what is good for you and be happy with it...
now Hopkins will earn 0 dollars, yes zero dollars. what a fool!

3 million isnt shit for fighting that guy, hopkins is the man to beat, so , they should give him 60-40, that is fair for a guy who is unknown, who else is he going to fight and get money anywhere near what a hopkins fight would bring him.
hopkins surely doesn't need this clown........ there are fights out there which are good for his legacy, not this one, this one just popped up out of the fact that green got a win over roy jones............ certainly not enough to catapult him into a 50-50 split with hopkins.
too many choices for hopkins out there that would only help his legacy, a fight with green is more like a revenge fight for jones in a sense. at least that is the perception in some circles.
bottom line, hopkins holds the cards, not green...............

Because Green is rubbish imo. Hopkins would get good money from it but as far as his legacy is concerned, it does jack shit.
I wanna see a Dawson fight or an Adamek fight (thats if Adamek returns to Cruiser).
for a dawson fight, i can see them offering less then 3 million...adamek packs 'em in here in newark @ the prudential center, so adamek may ask for a 50/50 on nard just like green did...hopkins may get a reality check regarding his current market value...fights are too boring and they don't result in ko's...
Green's greed should be thanked as it inadvertently saved us from a crap fight. Sorry two crap fights as RJJ is clearly retired, he just don't know it!
