Hopkins-Tarver on PPV June 10th....LMAO!!!

**The Wire** · 02-17-2006, 10:15 AM

I think they will. Antonio Tarver is the proven light heavy champion of the world, and Hopkins is one of the best middleweights ever. Tarver wins, possibly by stoppage, in a ****ing awful, boring fight...but yep, people will buy it

I won't buy this fight. That is the only way to put an end to irrelevant PPV's - stop feeding the pig.

It's not like Hopkins is likely to go in there and fight like a lion. This will be 6 rounds of nothing, then slightly more for the next 6 rounds. Big whup. I think Hopkins has an even chance to win though, because Tarver likes to do nothing too and they can split the rounds.

The sad thing is that big names will generate PPV dollars almost every time. Just look at the numbers put up for Tarver-Jones III. And wait until the buy numbers for the pathetic Vargas-Mosley card come out...bet you they will be high.

Lot of ignorant people out there.

And most of those ppv sells have to be credited to Jones draw...Hell, in all of Hopkins PPV's he's not the guy that sell the ppv and put culos on those seats...Even in his two fights with Taylor...imo.

Tarver's continuing to lose his case by seeking money instead of true fan recognition.

He thinks he's one of the greatest middleweights of all time and so does everybody else. He just wants one more fight before he retires
