    Anyway...

    Hopkins hasn't fought a top LHW in four years.

    And we don't know if he can beat a top LHW because he won't fight...Chad Dawson, for instance. A fighter who offers more money and reward. But I get it, this fight is personal
    How does Chad offer more reward. HBO came up with 5 million almost 4 of which would have went to Hopkins. Whereas Hopkins is making at least 8 million against Jones.

      That's news to me. I had no idea he was making 8. I heard 3.

          The contract stipulated Hopkins make 3 million right off the top before any money was split, and then they would split the purse 50-50 after that. 60-40 if Hopkins stops him.

              He'll toy with him, punish him and then put him away.

                Hopkis doesn't try to knock opponents out. He has hurt, wobbled, dropped or stunned every opponent he has faced since he moved up to LHW. That all happened when he was being cautious. I expect to Hopkins to get rougher in this fight, and probably proove a point, unless he has too much respect for Jones.

                    Because he was going to make a little less than that fighting Danny Green, and he said there was more money in this fight, which is why he took it.

                      I'm lost. The facts are that he's guaranteed only 3mil. He gets 60% of the PPV revenue. 60% of what will go to the fighters, and that's a tiny slice. The PPV #s aren't in yet (but Hopkins already knows his split ) but judging by the gate and their last pay-per-views (Hopkins vs. Pavlik 190k, Jones vs. Calzaghe 225k), he'll be lucky to get an extra million. Eight mil was just something you made up. It damn sure isn't anywhere near fact.
