    hopkins vs eastman why in l.a.!

    yo what's up with having this fight at the staples center...
    it makes no economical sense....a fight like this would sell out in london in a minute...also bernard should show his warrior champion mentality and fight in eastmans terrority...like when hagler went over and bombed out minter at wembley arena
    the vibe at english fights are incredible think about the nigel benn wars and all the lasers and eccentricty surrounding a prince fight
    this fight in england would inspire a slugfest from a rowdy crowd
    however in l.a. eastman will bring it and hopkins will slowly and boringly break him down
    anyway hopkins is still the man and if they put taylor in there to soon his ass will get ruined

    Hopkins got big here in the US after the DLH fight. Plus Eastman is the challenger, is he not?

      True! Eastman hasn`t the right to have this fight in the UK and Hopkins is now a known fighter all over. It could be worse though, it could have been in Philidelphia!

        can you imagine what hopkins would demand to fight in london? at least easman is willing to go to america to fight, unlike a certain mancunian i could mention.

            Those fights in Europe are always so strange...so many special effects I think I'm watching one of the cheesy new Star Wars "prequels".

            At any rate, the Staples Center and other arenas in the States are looking to book events now that hockey is gone. Probably make more money on stuff like this than they do on hockey, anyway. At any rate, promoters are probably getting good deals cause I'm sure the arenas are somewhat desperate to fill their calendars.

            Tarver-Johnson was at Staples, wasn't it?

              Yeah, I forgot about DLH. DLH on Hopkins' back should boost it a little.

                If Tsyzu was American i`d agree that Hatton should go to the states, but he`s not, he is an Austrailian, Russian, Japanese so he could demand any of these locations. Fighting in
                Manchester makes both fighters a career best payday.

                  All of DLH supporters are now supporting Hopkins, this being the reason for them aducting him, just like they did with Tupac
