One door closes and another door opens. During the last few weeks negotiations were ongoing to make a cruiserweight fight between Tomasz Adamek and Bernard Hopkins for July 11 on HBO. As most know by now, negotiations fell apart when Hopkins refused to budge from the monetary terms that were presented to Adamek's promoter Kathy Duva. Golden Boy Promotions [where Hopkins is a partner] was only offering Adamek a "flat fee" of $500,000. Adamek, and many people in the industry, found the offer insulting. [details]

I got Johnson

Do that ****!

Great fight. Make it happen. The Roadwarrior can upset Adamek imo.

Im probably the only one but I still want to see Hopkins-Adamek. July is still a ways out, so they have time to come to terms.

i love bhop but johnson vs adamek will be a way better fight, its all about style's and bhop would most likely use his clutching and craftiness against adamek and make it a boring fight, glen on the other hand would fight, and he did get robbed against dawson. adamek vs johnson would be a much better tilt and possibly a great war. i hope we can see that fight go down this summer.

Now this would be a great fight...Its be more pleasing to watch (than b-hop-adamek)and it wouldn't cost as much. Some network make this happen!
