    Adonis / Hopkins On Showtime PPV. Damn that sounds sorry.
    It will fail on ppv,if gbp knows wuts in there best interest to maximixe profits they will put a quadruple header card together on showtime championship boxing,i mean if you dont have showtime as a subscription you could probably buy it as a 25.00 ppv if you have dish or directv...they would get more revenue doing it that way,i believe.

        I'm not so sure that the PPv will fail.. It may not be a hugeblockbuster but I think it would do 200-300k buys..

        Hopkins vs a big power puncher is always good business ie Tito, pavlik,tarver


        People either wanna see Hopkins finally get ko'd or see him turn back the clock once again and put on an execution.. Either way they are gonna watch

        And considering Hopkins will be nearly 50 and Adonis is the lineal champ, so much history to hype and market,, I don't see how this couldn't be a big fight on par with serg-cotto

Jesus fn Christ being a fan of this sport is such bullsh!! Sometimes. Fu!! Top rank fu!! Goldenboy fu!! Al Haymon for ruining the fight game.
          Wtf are you complaining about???your just a fan watching the product,they aint out there to please you...you need to stop being a fake fan,if you have a passion for boxing you woudnt care so much about the biggest fights in your mind happening,let the fights marinate and if the so called big fights happen then so be it,if not stfu and dont watch..youll be sorry the next day when you hear it was a great fight and your stuberness kept you from watching it....im so sick and tired of these so called hardcore boxing fans shiating on good fights,i think you would serve better talking about this on facebook or *******...

            Maybe it was a little dirty because there was already a verbal agreement. But why didn't HBO match Showtimes offer? I don't get it. Who are they throwing their money at. GG is putting up huge numbers yet he can't get a decent contender because HBO is being stingy with the funds.

              Dude i talked to casual fans and they dont even know who the *** kovalov is???same shiat with sum hardcore fans,face it dude there are fans on here from all over the world and only the fans on nsb care about kovalov..
              But guess what everyone knows bhop from casuals to hardcore boxing fans,so wut fight do you think would be succesful,a fight where theres 3 belts on the line with hopkins vs stevenson,with more history on the line as well,or a fight with 2 champions that most people dont even know who they are outside of nsb?hopkins vs stevenson should be the obvious answer..it is wut it is,,..

                Out of ure fn mind kid. Fonfora vs Stevenson is a good fight?u like broner vs Molina what about Thurman vs diaz, ure also happy Garcia vs Gamboa didn't pan out either? The two best fighters at 175 who are destroying everyone in front of them had and agreement to fight,a fight all fn fans wanted, yeah that fight just got flushed down the toilet. And ure cool with it. U wanna see the Miami heat play the bobcats everyday 2 huh? That's not sports. And shouldn't be tolerated.man I'm not coming at you hard. Ure entitled to yours. I'm just frustrated as a fan that's it.

                  I mean look ive talked to both casuals and hardcore fans and most dont even know who kovalov,or stevenson are for that matter...wut does that tell you about a fight between the 2?everyone on nsb will watch,but wut about everyone outside of nsb??everyone knows hopkins and like you say history would be on the line as well aside from 3 belts,and the universally recognized belt..who do you think would do bigger ratings hopkins vs stevenson,or kovalov vs stevenson?either prime time,or ppv buys?be honest
