Hopkins vs. Eastman gets serious.

[Solo322]

Who wrote this nonsense?

1) I highly doubt Hopkins would be able to keep his other belts if he lost. They would become vacant. And even if he was able to keep them, it wouldn't matter because he wouldn't be considered the real champ anyways. What exactly would he be scared about?

2) Via extra pay-per-views? Does this guy think the bout will be on PPV?

3) Hopkins is a notorious stickler with money, and from what I understand, the sanctioning fees aren't just chump change. Four belts at 2-3% of the purse per belt adds up.

whatever, hopkins likes to gamble, this seems like one of those situations where he'd put a little extra on the line to make sure that he was totally committed to the fight, sort of like burning his boats

You high or what? This is the MAN's 20th title defense! He doesn't require anything else to test his commitment!

Howard Eastman has got another reason to relish his long-awaited ........ and dump every one of the sanctioning bodies' titles while he has the chance.

Burikua ... Do us a favour when you cut and paste. Find something worth cutting and pasting. Also, provide the source (instead of trying to look like you actually wrote it) so we'll know what writer to avoid.

By the way, did you paste it (as opposed to post it) because you believe this ****?

Looking from a businesman's point of view . . . that makes sense. Why put everything on the line when Eastman is a mandatory for only one belt? A coward? No . . . No . . . I don't really thinks so. If he is scared of Eastman why did he chose to fight the guy while he has a lot of other choices. What? BH is going to put all his belts at stakes . . . take the risk and be forced by all the sanctioning bodies to pay their sanctioning fees?

That what makes BH different . . . he is smart.

Bernard paid all sanctioning fees before why not now? Just Curious.


My money is on Eastman, Nothing will convince me to change that.

I didn't even think that was legal to bet on yourself

That was not a seriously considered statement, was it?

Hopkins KO 9. Eastman always was, and always will be a punching bag with no defense. He's got a punchers chance, but that's about it.

Why doesn't Tito get his ***** ass into the ring with Hopkins instead of fighting non-title, after non-title fight.
