Trinidad To Get $15 Million For Hopkins Rematch

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

This is exactly what is wrong with boxing today. We can't see the match ups we want but they are quick to put these two guys together.....why?

If you guys want to see Tito get knocked out, then fine. I will save my money and read about what happened the next day.

I think Hopkins will be more dominant ,But I know Tito is going to want to shine just like before......Like a star...Ppl don't hate if it was you,you'll want a chance to...

A rematch between Bernard Hopkins and Felix Trinidad will not come cheap. According to father/trainer Felix Trinidad Sr, promoter Don King presented Tito with an offer of $15 million dollars for a Hopkins rematch. As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, King recently came to Puerto Rico to meet with Trinidad and discuss terms for a Hopkins rematch. Although Trinidad has been chasing for a Hopkins rematch since the 2001 knockout loss, King claims that it was Hopkins who reached out to them to initiate negotiations for a November meeting.

I'M SORRY BUT I'M A BIG TITO FAN BUT HE ISNT WORTH 15MIL RIGHT NOW!! HELL NO!! B-HOP WILL BEAT HIM. SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE OTHERS NUMBERS. (FORREST/MOSLEY, TAYLOR/HOPKINS, MOSLEY/DELA-HOYA)etc.
this is one of those. B-HOP VICTORIOUS.

This fight isnt better then Jones Trinidad... I say that because we had no idea what Jones had left, or Trinidad... it was still a possible toss up... Roy could of came in looking old as **** (which he kind of did)... we didnt know if roy could take that tito left hook... nobody really knew what to expect... tons of people said Tito would knock out Roy.

Well, that makes for something exciting when you dont know what to expect.

This fight? Bernard wins, it's GAURANTEED.

I cant wait till hopkins throws the puerto rican flag down again in pr!!!!lol,, he's gonna get chased outta there again. Hope he dont get caught running, those legs are older!!!!lmaoooo

I wanna see Tito fight Paul Williams at 160. Make it happen.

I would rather see Hopkins retire than take this fight. This is maybe the worst bout he could possibly make, I think I'd prefer literally any other opponent over Tito.

[DigitalBeast]

I doubt he gets that much, and there's no point to this fight. Felix needs to retire. I hate to see him hang on too long and keep pickin fights he can't win.

What is up with you ******s??? Did you miss the part about 15 million? Pointless how? Seriously! R E T A R D E D! How many of you wouldn't get in the ring with Tito for 15 million? I think I would. Who cares if I lost? As long as Tito doesn't get hit too hard on the head to cause problems, I think it is very much worth it for him. Bernard makes (likely) a relatively easy load of money, so don't go saying it is pointless for him either. Maybe "******s" was a bit much, but seriously guys, where your heads at?

Trinidad should not have retired so early. Now he's reduced to getting his ass kicked once every two years or so for a few mil..

Getting 15 million every two years isn't so bad, especially during these times. Don't worry about Tito
