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

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

He should come to Europe to fight in Australia.

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"

That sounds good. Let's make this fight happen as soon as possible.

[The Future]

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.

Yes they would, way more people will show up for the fight in canada then the states. That's the only reason he wants to fight in canada again. Even put pascal or lemiuex on the undercard and that's sold out for sure

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.

That`s cause Canada has real boxing fans unlike America where most boxing fans only care about if the fighter is from your hometown or the same ethnicity which why boxing is dying in America.

Bradley-Holt sold decent numbers in Montreal (or incredible numbers compared to anything they would have done in the US).

So this could work. Just make Pascal-Cloud on the undercard and you get a sell-out crowd.

[any craic lad?]

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

If only there was PED testing back then one of the games greats Creed might still be around
