Hopkins, "I want my next two fights to be in Canada"

[vcvc]

Q:After such a momentus and historic moment in the sport, is there a specific goal or fighter you would like to surmount?



A:I can reflect on the moment. One is to clean up the division, there are one or two guys there. And to get a big match in Canada. I'd like to fight my next two fights in Canada and leave in a good note, not a negative note.

Would be nice if he could fight Bute and Dawson, then retire.

Wonder what his pay was... that is obviously the motivation...

Hop wants his next two fights in Canada? So what he's saying is he wants Bute next and then a third fight with Jean Pascal. ...WTF? Dawson is SUPPOSED to be next.

some of the crowd started chanting "B-hop" on saturday I was surprised by that. Reminded me of when Balboa fought in hostile territory in Soviet Russia against Drago and the crowd started chanting "rocky" at the end

No...

In his chat today someone asked if he wanted to fight Pascal a third time and he said "no."

Bute has a 3 fight deal with Showtime and Hopkins has a 2 fight deal with HBO so Bute can't happen any time soon.

Asked if Hopkins was going to fight Dawson next and his reply was "most likely, yes"

[Battle*Hardened]

He can't fight Bute for at least 2 fights cause of HBO.

Why would he fight there though? No one in Canada will show to watch Dawson-Hopkins.

Maybe hbo can work with show time like they did lewis-tyson.....

What if it had all canadians on the undercard like Pascal and david lemieux?

Montreal loves it's boxing. Any big fight would do well there and they do not have to be home town guys. I remember when Duran fought Leonard there, the crowd was huge and the atmosphere was electrifying.
