yeah but he started singing a different tune after he realized how much money he can make.

Bernard at this point wants to get paid, and I think that is the number 1 factor in his decision making.

Former WBA light heavyweight champion and current IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green is doing his best to make a fight with Bernard Hopkins happen by taking a smaller purse than the future Hall of Famer. Green originally offered a 50-50 split of a multi million dollar purse with Hopkins and this offer was accepted but later the American had requested a 60-40 split in his favour after it was revealed HBO would televise the fight on prime time USA television. Green said, �When I left the States two weeks ago we had an agreement that whatever goes into the pot we were 50-50 which is what we did with Roy Jones. And after the momentum of the Roy Jones fight, I could fight SpongeBob SquarePants and still make good money. But it�s not about the money for me. It�s about continuing to try to build a legacy and knocking out two future hall-of-fame fighters. Knocking out two legends, bringing two legends to my backyard and helping the sport of boxing. I spoke to Bernard again on Christmas Eve and then I had the Sydney to Hobart, so I haven�t spoken to him for the past week. I�ve got one more phone call to make to him to try to make this happen. I�m confident that he�s going to take this deal. He�s squabbling over making millions. Let�s just make it happen and get it o

Green will not win a more than 2 rounds anyway. No way Hopkins gets robbed.

haha, well his criminal record is all the way back from about 1983 so I doubt it would be a problem.

Further, isn't Australia founded by criminals? lol
