Comments Thread For: Green: "I Offered Hopkins 15 Times His Previous Purse"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBO cruiserweight Danny Green is moving forward with his career and taking a look at a few options in the aftermath of his broken negotiations to secure a fight with Bernard Hopkins. The Aussie champ claims to have reached a verbal deal with Hopkins for a 50-50 split and then Hopkins changed the terms to a 60-40. Green offered Hopkins 15 times what he made for his last fight with Enrique Ornelas. [Click Here To Read More]

That argument holds no water... Bernard wasn't looking to make anything off Ornelas, and he donated most of his purse away minus expenses.

Green is a chump.

Picking on his elders is a no no.

Good to see Hopkins is looking to go out even less meaningfully than Calzaghe went out.

Calzaghe>Bore hard

hopkins fought ornelas basically for free.. the fight was on VERSUS because bhop wanted it there for all his fans in philly to have no problem tuning in and it was a cheap ticket.. so green makes no sense there, bhop deserves the 60-40 split, who da hell is danny green ? bhop is the one who would bring interest into that fight.. now hes facing jones for the rematch, no matter what people got to say bout roy, folks will tune in.. bhop is gonna make more money and is finally gonna get his W vs jones.. after that they both should retire

I'm a Roy and Hopkins fan and I dislike Green but to be fair Green is close to his 40s. I think he's 38 so he's pretty old too.

Shut the **** Up Green....no one gives a ****e about you...****ing loser...you got your ass whooped by Anthony Mundine, end of story.

Hopkins prices himself out, yet again. Hopkins changes what was agreed yet again. Hmm reminds me of the initial calzaghe negotiations that the little squirt backed out off.

Danny "Who Are Ya?" Green should have gladly accepted the 60-40 split.

Why the hell does Hopkins deverse 60-40 ?
Green is the much bigger draw in this fight. Hopkins is boring and no one pays to see him. Hops is a good way to put people to sleep, not because os his punches but because of his boring ass style.
