Hopkins-Adamek Negotiations Revisited

[Heru]

Light heavyweight star Bernard Hopkins said on "Friday Night Fights" last week that he was hoping to make a deal to fight the winner of the Nov. 7 rematch between Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson. Hopkins would like to fight around his 45th birthday, which is Jan. 15. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer said he'll try to deliver the fight for Hopkins but that he will also "revisit the conversations with Tomasz Adamek as well." Hopkins called out the cruiserweight champ a few months ago, but talks sputtered. Schaefer said he thinks he can make the fight now. "I had a good conversation with [Main Events CEO] Kathy Duva," Shaefer said. Schaefer said HBO is interested in either Hopkins-Adamek or Hopkins against the Dawson-Johnson II winner. "I think both fights are big," he said, although he acknowledged the Adamek fight would be bigger. "We must be total idiots if we can't get it done. If we want it, if HBO wants it and if they [Adamek's camp] want it, we can make it. I'm willing to go east and sit down with Kathy face to face and get it done."

Hopkins wants nothing to do with Adamek. Simple as that.

I'd luv for the Adamek fight to happen but if Adamek is set on jumpin to HW, **** it. Let Bhop whoop the Chad-Glen winner.

Hopkins is in a situation of where the only lucrative option he's got is a fight with the winner of the Johnson-Dawson rematch. I don't think Hopkins will ever fight Adamek. Because Adamek doesn't really need Hopkins that much because of his good fan base. I think that Chad Dawson would be easier to negotiate with because Chad realizes that he doesn't bring a lot to the table financially, and he would be willing to take less money than Adamek would. As much of a fan of Johnson as I am, I don't want to see Hopkins rematch him. That fight doesn't do anything for B-Hop. I'm still rooting for Glen to stop a mud hole in Chad's ass though.

Hopkins will be fighting a bigger,Stranger more pwerfull younger guy, who he cant hurt.

Adamek can just go and let everything out care free.
