Hopkins vs. Adamek is Dead Over Low-Ball Offer

[KiloTeague]

I have no interest in seeing this fight anyway. There are five other fighters I'd rather see Bernard fight. Dawson, Kessler, and Roy for starters.

And I know, I threw Roy in there like he is somebody special, but I think even at this point in his career, he could beef up to 190 and probably dominate adamek. And I think a fight between Roy and Bernard would be closer and better than a fight between adamek and Hop. Matter of fact, it a fight between Roy and Hopkins were to take place, I'd like to see it at 190.

In all seriousness i rather see him face Lucian Bute than Kessler. Kesser is nothing but an over-rated hype job, who's only notable victories are against Sub-Par fighters, and many who people consider "Tomato Cans"

all this talk is simply bargaining. Hopkins low balls Adamek, Adamek fires back repeat, repeat until they come to terms. This fight will happen, watch

hard nard working the war room tactics................ most fights are won in the negotiation of the fight.


this is also apart of hopkins' legendary strategy....... he's been doing this kind of negotiating for the whole length of his career, nothing new, i'm sure he'll get what he really wants, and i'm sure low balling like this will insure that he gets what he is really looking for, this kind of negotiating is throw away stuff, a place to start chipping away at what he really wants.

just like at a garage sale, you want a certain price for your old golf clubs or what have you, you know what you want so you set your price way high, or low in this case, then when you negotiate, and it goes low and sells at the price you wanted, but the person haggling with you thinks they got a deal. same principles apply, in this case, they have their limit, low ball adamek, then in negotiating up, adamek is thinking he's getting a deal while GBP are buying him for what they really wanted, it's basic haggling 101..... haivng a price before hand, and setting the asking price higher or lower depending on the situation, then when finding the middle, you lead whoever you're buying or selling to right where you want or to what you want......... don't buy into these games as anything of significance.
