    Publicly Bhop said that of course he was willing to fight his mando if he had to, but Espinoza had already said SHO had no interest in it (maybe so as not to put Bhop in the position of having to turn it down). Since Hopkins is a GBP partner it was pretty clear HBO wouldn't want it either so it was likely not gonna happen.

    Kathy Duvas take is that whilst 'Nard was saying 'yeah' it was apparent from early contact that there wasn't really any interest there, whereas Cleverly was already virtually a done deal.

      B-Hop tweeted that he would defend his belt at all cost. He's an old school dude, I don't think he has ever vacated a belt.
