An eye for an eye: HBO steals Hopkins Pascal II from Showtime

[-Kev-]

um... this isn't eye for an eye... pac/mosley >>>>>>>>>>> hops/pascal financially.

it's more like an eye for an eyebrow.

Pac fans/Floyd haters didn't care about money fights back in the day, now times have changed, their hero is guilty of doing the same thing Floyd was bashed for[chasing the biggest money fights not the catchweight fighting part] and they have adapted to talking about big money fights being superior to quality fights. It's funny to see that. You know you're here over the years and see people's opinions change to conveniently fit their favorite fighters.

No one with a name wants t fight lame ass Dawson. He brings nothing to the table.

Cloud does cuz Dawson ducked him when he was chad's mandatory.

Lol. Neither Cloud or Dawson bring anything to the table. Who are we trying to kid here? I think Hopkins would fight Bute or possibly Erdei (I mentioned him earlier since he's calling out the top guys now). Cloud doesn't bring anything to the table either except for another strap. He looked unimpressive when he beat Zuniga and I thought Johnson beat him. Hopkins needs to take a fight where there is money and reward. And neither Cloud or Dawson offer that.

why are you wandering around this site with this disgrace of a human being in your sig ? what's so cool and funny about that ? do you realize that man ****d and killed innocent women ?

think about it

[BigStereotype]

Sorta like an eye for a hangnail, though, isn't it?

I was wishing this would've been on Showtime. I'm getting tired of Lampley and his over the top commentating, Steward and his "I knew this would happen" predictions, and most of all Merchant and his ****** ass metaphors "They said blah blah blah stars and the sun and the galaxy."

this made me

I'm not seeing the appeal either. I have a feeling the Pascal-Hopkins re-match will be a letdown. Hopkins won't be taking chances this time and it will be a typical Hopkins fight.

Froch-Johnson on the other hand has FOTY potential and I'm psyched for that fight.

That's the same exact thing people predicted for the first fight.

Hopkins Pascal was the highest rated boxing program on Showtime in three years. Yes it may not have generated the income like Pacquiao Mosley will, but I'm sure Showtime isn't happy that HBO is handling the rematch. Especially when HBO doesn't normally take fights from showtime. The only other one I can think of is a ****** Tarver Dawson II rematch.

That one had no appeal. This one does.

[Check_hooks]

Is this gonna be on PPV? If showtimes super 6 is the same night than I know which one I'm watching and it aint gonna be a rematch.

[The Hammer]

To be fair to Hopkins, something you're not capable of towards any fighter you dislike being the ******ed white supremacist you are, he fought Pascal very cleanly, no rough tactics, and he even was the agressor. It was a brilliant performance.

False accusation.

Would a white supremacist support Jean Pascal, or would he have no interest in the fight?

[Kevin Malone]

That's the same exact thing people predicted for the first fight.

Good for them.
