Should Roy accept 40/60 for the Hopkins match?

I don't care as long as the rematch happens.

Both should just retire. They both have a win to finish their career with. So retire and make room for the next generation.

I do not care what these old past prime american hypejobs get. One only fought smaller men the other one ducked everyfighter until he got KO twice.

It must kill y'all *******s that these old ass guys can get on real tv and The **** Boyz can't even get on regular Espn. LMAO LMAO LMAO

60% to the winner and 40% is a great deal, lot's of deals should be done like this.. I don't see the reason why you wouldn't take the deal unless you weren't confident in winning..

Bernard has always been consistent on this 60 to himself which shows he doesn't have much confidence on winning or he just doesn't want to fight Roy again.

Why should Hopkins retire bat? He still fights at a top level and WINS. It isn't as if he is losing to the Glenn Johnsons and Tarvers of boxing.

I don't think that shows a lack of confidence, it shows he's firm in his belief he deserves 60% (whether anyone else agrees or not). Bernard has always been known to be extremely tight with his money, he does not play around one bit and if a contract isn't written up the way he likes it he wont sign, plain & simple. That's bernard. He's a penny pincher and a man of principle.

Obviously I side with bernard NOW because he's relevant, he's a P4P fighter, he's proven he's the better fighter right now. In the past, when Jones was the star and p4p champ, yeah he had the right to demand 60%. Times have changed though.

they may be old, but they arent slow and washed up. I mean hell Foreman was older, out of shape & overweight and he won the HW title again. So why should they retire? This fight would do alot of PPV buys and the 24/7 would be the best one ever....

2 Arch Enemies who talk **** & are from the old school...would make for great TV...

No reason for bernard to retire at all, he just seems to get better with age.. he lost a SD to calzaghe no shame in that, and put an ass beating on Pavlik who was getting all kinds of praise on this board before.. bernard can still hang with the big boys and beat them to.

Here is how i Look at it. Back in 02 when they had the infamous arguement, Bernard was lower on the p4p list then roy. Roy Was the top dog in all of boxing and bernard didn't want 40 to 60. So now that bernard is higher then roy then I dont think its wrong for roy not to want the 40. I feel 60 to the winner and 40 to the loser is perfect but bernard doesnt trust money going in the hand of the judges. And all this bring up people who beat roy and people who beat bernard is useless because bernard flat out destroyed pavlik but lost twice to the man pavlik destroyed. So it shows on ne day a fighter could lose.

I will say yes these past 3 to 4 years roy has beaten bums but bernard has what beat a blown up 170 pavlik that shouldnt of been there, a blown up 170 winky that defit shouldnt have been there, a dropping over 30 lbs tarver who was dead and a L to calzaghe, So both of them should do a 50-50 or 60 40 to the winner and move on with it.
