Yeah, i was, or course, one of the ones duped into believing this wouldn't be basically Hopkins/Taylor I repeated.

[druth]

Yeah me too. Boring fight, pretty bad undercard as well. Almost as big of a waste of money as the $50 I blew on Tarver/Jones.

Not this year not even close.

I guessed 500k, but 410 is not bad at all. I think that makes it the second most purchased fight of the year (behind Tito-Winky).

Hopkins has made 30,000,000 over his last 3 fights.

I think He's the one laughing about his poor fights as of late.
