      If this fight was made 10, **** even 5 years ago, I would have bought it. I'm probably going to miss this because of work, and I'm not to bummed about it. Not knocking people that do end up getting the fight, but it just doesn't get me amped up enough to really care about it.

        I don't think this fight should be on PPV, but I'm not going to blame the fighters. I don't know how much say in whether the fight is PPV or not Bernard had since he has a large role in GBP, but they aren't the promoters. You shouldn't blame them for whether the fight is PPV or not.

          The fact that Bernard still tried to make the fight after being advised not to, told by HBO they wouldn't even distribute it, and having the media not interested tells me all I need to know. Hopkins really wants to whoop Jones ass.

            Where it belongs.

            Putting this on PPV is a slap in the face to boxing fans.
            How so? It means HBO can save their money for other match ups. Nobody is forcing you to watch it. Although it is eating up a TV date. But who cares? The basketball tournament is going on. It's already well documented that this fight is gonna tank. We don't have to keep making threads about it.

              Hopkins really just wants to make some easy money against a shot bum.

                  RJJ might be shot. But a bum? Tell you what, I'd like to see you go three two minute sparring rounds with that "bum".

                    I would knock him out.

                    Seriously.

                      the lesson is not for rjj or hopkins. it's for boxers in their prime today who wait to long to fight the big fights.
