    Does HBO not have the rights to Hopkins-Trinidad?

    I noticed during Countdown to Hopkins-Calzaghe they only showed photos of the Hopkins-Trinidad fight. In addition I've never seen it replayed on HBO. Also, the fight has been up on youtube for a couple months now and hasn't been removed.

    I'm thinking Top Rank may have something to do with it but does anyone know?

      exactly, it was a Don King show,

      most promoters seem to keep the video rights, could be worth alot of money down the line,

        Interesting. So does this generally just happen with Don King because HBO seems to have the rights to just about every other fight they broadcast.

            Ohhh **** that's why? I thought they just straight up hated BHop. Everytime I see a Bernard greatest hits, it includes all mainly his losses, and not the Trinidad fight which they all thought Hopkins was gonna get destroyed in. Thanks for answering this, I was considering posting this question myself.

                    He's actually close to us. He's the one that told me that the fight tickets had been on sale for like 10 days before I caught on. We're gonna be AC neighbors, then at least one person here will finally know we're not alts.
