hopkins vs eastman why in l.a.!

[Toller]

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

I'm guessing you didn't see Eastman's last fight - he has a very small following in the UK. Obviously it wasn't for the undisputed world title, but it was more like a snooker crowd than a rowdy boxing match! This fight is better off held in America.

When Eastman is champ, he can fight anywhere he wants. Until then, he has to breathe LA's dirty air.
