    If this is on PPV I hope they put on a really good undercard and make the PPV cheap~.
    It wont be PPV.

    And it's nice that it's in Philly, hopefully ESPN or a co-feature of an HBO event.

      Word has it that B-Hop visited a motel in New Jersey where Clinton Mitchell works. He put an offer of 20K down on the table for Mitchell to give him the rematch for the Dec 2nd date. Don't think Mitchell was interested though...could you blame him at this stage?

        How do so many people actually think this is a serious fight?

        THIS IS A TUNE-UP FIGHT.

            No way HBO pays for that. Golden Boy might not put it on PPV though I doubt it would be ESPN so really except for cheap PPV I don't know what TV outlet it will be on, unless they just show it on the ring website in which case I still hope it has a good undercard~.

              This is a tune-up for Hopkins, and I understand that. But if he doesn't do anything short of destroying this guy it is going to make his upcoming fight with Jones rub people the wrong way. Both Jones and Hopkins need to look good in their next fights.

                  B-Hop should definetly be looking to make a statement against this dude, it would be a good advertisement for his fight with Jones.

                    I just noticed Roy Jones and B-Hop will be fighting on the same night. Dec 2nd.

                    The last time that happened was 2002 wasn't it?

                    Only this time...not the same network...and in diff countries lol

                      How many of you ****** **** would have skipped one of Sugar Ray Robinson 70 or so tune up type fights?

                      I can just see you ****sexuals 50 years ago saying, "I'm not going to Madison Square Garden to watch Ray Robinson fight some bum with 9 losses."

                      Anybody who has a problem with this fight is a ***g*t and can kiss my ass.

                      Fighters fight, so shut the **** up.
