Done Deal...sig it upComment

do you think the push was staged???cause winky couldnt stop smiling?or do you think it was a cheap shot by bhop?Comment

Winky is always smiling. Even during his fight with BHop dude man was smiling the first 6 rounds. I dunno if it was staged or not, but he got his head pushed all the way back. **** could not have felt good, but they both knew the fight needed a push in promotion.Comment

it was staged on the part of Hopkins, but winky didn't know about it. Hopkins later admitted to that after the fight, saying he just was trying to promote the fight. He got fined 200k regardless. lolComment

Haha I thought it was 300k. I wonder if the fine was worth the promotional stunt.Comment

Yeah it probably was because if I'm not mistaken it sold around 350,000 PPV buys. The press leading up to the fight was pretty bad because every article said the fight would be a snooze fest (obviously). Then that push in the face happened and they were showing that on ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, etc. I think it may have risen the PPV buys by like 50-100k.Comment

Being a BHOP fan I really wish he wouldn't of taken this fight. If he wins we will never see Pavlik V Calzghe which is a bummer to me. If he losses thats 2 straight L's and probably forces him to hang up the gloves. I would of rather seen him fight someone else.Comment
