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.
    Ok, keep telling youself that, smart guy. He said this fight had more money in it than Danny Green not me.

      So he already has the PPV #s? Since YOU said his guarantee was 3 mil and everything else PPV.

      8 mil? Making up ****. ****outtahere.

        I never said that, why put words into my mouth. I said Hopkins got 3 millions off the bat and that they REST of the purse was being split 50-50. If you think Jones is fighting for free than you are mistaken. Keep trying to bait though.

          Is Bernard a bottom feeder?

            Bernard is gauranteed the first 3 million.

            Everything else is split 50-50.

            If there is a KO/TKO - the winner gets 60%

              yeah Bho vs Jones jr>>>>> Bhop vs aussie in everthing.

              if Bernard had fought teh Aussie because he beat Roy plus taking the risk to lose either,it would have been nothing special even if he would have won.

              so Bop is a smart guy.

                Whatever, man.

                  This is the biggest money fight for Jones. That's pretty much the only reason he's fighting Hopkins.

                  I wish he would've already retired, though.

                    what slot? This isn't even an HBO broadcast (they are distributing it, but it's not an HBO broadcast).

                      Yeah, HBO washed themselves clean of this mess. If it wasn't for their relationship with GBP I'd doubt they'd touch this with a 10-foot pole. The writing was on the wall as soon as they snatched Dawson up.
