Comments Thread For: Stevenson-Hopkins: Schaefer Mulling Location Options

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The bottom line is that the location for a potential fight between light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson and unified titleholder Bernard Hopkins will be decided by the bottom line.

“If it’s going to be Stevenson next, if that’s what we want to do, it might be here [in Washington, D.C.], it might be at the Barclays Center [in Brooklyn, NY.], it might be in Canada. I mean, we’re going to go where we can make the most money,” Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions said shortly after Hopkins defeated Beibut Shumenov at the D.C. Armory on Saturday.

Sell out the Belle Center in Canada.

I would think this fight takes place in Canada. It makes the most money there.

Gotta be Canada. I think they've already made one mistake by doing last nights card in D.C. instead of the Barclays. Why chance it again.

Even at nearly 50 Hopkins is still capable of fiddling his way past some one with the limited skills of a Stevenson but Stevensons whack makes it interesting.
It would be bad news to end up in a care home with B-Hop!

Don't they have a 12 fights a year deal with them?

If Schaeffer really does put this in MGM.... lol, wtf?

[HanzGruber]

Makes the most sense, it will be a sell out, huge crowd, probs PPV in Canada, everything going for it. Plus Bhop is happy for it to happen in Canada.

But let's not discount Fonfara just yet.

sounds like they dont want the fight. Why would stevenson go to DC and get paid significant less??
