why is it sad? It's a mandatory fight against a guy that no one in the world has ever heard of besides like 6 people. This is basically a "tune up fight" which will set up a much bigger fight against the likes of Froch/Nathan Cleverly.

It's great if this fight is on ESPN and not HBO/Showtime. The big networks shouldn't waste money/time on a fight people aren't interested in and/or tune ups.

I didn't see any sources in that thread. The link I showed was from the ESPN fight schedule so I'm sure they would know if they were televising it or not.

Ah, ok that's better then. Hopkins is boring but it'd be an insult for him to be fighting on ESPN at this stage coming off of a win.
