Not at all. Roy was coming off a Trinidad win, and Calzaghe just mad e a name for himself, and they had a 24/7 which increased the buyrate. Hopkins was seen as a sacrificial lamb against Pavlik and was coming off a controversial loss. Also no one expected the fight to sell well.
We could compare numbers all day. Also Hopkins vs Tarver sold more than Jones vs Tarver 1.
Yeah we could go all night.... fortunately, we ve already gone all day
hopkins has singlehandedly changed boxing with his wins over elite boxers at his advanced age
Beating cats you can father is pretty damn impressive. Watch How Lamply goes from Pavlik cheerleader mode in the begining of the Pavlik fight to Hopkins ass kisser comparing it to Foreman vs Moorer at the end of the telecast. I love if when fighters make Lamply put down the pom poms and get on his knees. A la Margarito Cotto and...................... Chavez vs Taylor. .

let's disregard that said cat came up 10 pounds for the first time ever in his oh so illustrious career
PLUS, we all know how sluggish/lethargic kelly looked at 166
oh, oscar, tito and winky also moved up for this phenomenon of an old man
He looked like he beat Taylor the second time to me. Also he didn't look lethargic at all. Taylor decided to use his small ass brain for once and box with a stronger guy with more power and stamina istead of trading.
Beer 40 dollars, pizza 30 dollars. PPV fight 60 dollars. Watching Hopkins beat the **** out of Pavlik and piss off a bunch of skin headed hillbllies....priceless.
