      Adamek fills stadiums. I've been to two of his fights 22k and 12k people packed, sold out.

      He's got a ton of Polish fans too. Adamek is definitely a draw, a big one nowadays when you consider Europe and Eastern Europe in the money equation.

        Exactly... fighting Chad Dawson is what i would love to see and if Benard wins it would be an incredible way to leave the sport and if he loses no big deal it's still it'll be an incredible way to leave the sport.

          Good, I'm glad this fight isn't happening.

          Hopkins is B-O-R-I-N-G and I hope he does what he should have done a long time ago - and retires.

          The best thing for Adamek to do is to not bother with him and all of his crazy/foolish/over inflated notions of who Hopkins thinks he is and what he brings to the table.

          Hopkins has zero fan base and can't draw flies. Never could. He's always been the "B" side in every single promotion in recent years.

          Great fighter? YES. But all the rest of what he represents is simply interference.

          Adamek is a true and legitmate draw and he should build on that without having to deal with Hopkins.

            GOOD...This fight would have been a snooze fest. F*** B-Hop (500K for Adamek)dude can't sell as many tickets as Adamek anyways. B-Hop should retire what's left to prove? He got a good victory last time out that so what better way to leave the sport?

                Did the Pavlik fight bore you??

                I mean seriously.

                  Filling stadiums doesn't mean ****.

                  PPV numbers are what makes a fighter a draw...that's where the money is.

                  Adamek is NOT a draw.

                      Hopkins is NO ppv draw. The Pavlik pay per view fight sold like 125K? 150K? Chavez Jr. got close to that on a latin fury. Adamek sells out arenas fighting people like banks. Hopkins couldnt sell out AC with Pavlik on the other end.
