Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Froch is a Coward, He's an Insult To Calzaghe

[Dirk Diggler UK]

So are you trying to say that Golden Boy has paid Bhop $40 million? That is pretty laughable!! And he fought Calzaghe in Vegas but not sure if has been there since. But he also fought quite often in AC so it not just because Kovalev is popular there. And it is right close to Philly after all.

Where did I say that? Are you saying he's worth $40million because of his popularity and fanbase? Err...ok.

Calzaghe fight was in 2008. It's 2015. Why hasn't he fought in Vegas for 8 years if he's such a huge attraction?

You implied that Bhop made his money with Oscar. If not why did you bother to mention that he is involved with Golden Boy? I would also imagine that someones "3itch" wouldn't get paid very much.

I also believe that it is a ridiculous notion to believe that he made most of his money any other way then from his own fights. I also have no clue how big his fan base happens to be. But I do know that, like Mayweather, many fans watch him hoping he loses. I also don't know why he hasn't fought in Vegas recently. Maybe he doesn't like the desert heat.

And just to make it clear I am not a Bhop fan, I was one of the ones watching hoping for a lose. But honestly he has kind of grown on me recently. And I will say it again, he is a wealthy man, about twice as wealthy as Froch. So again someone must have been watching his fights.

UK fans have to admit though, Froch is doing a Tim Bradley:

"What if I lose?"

He's a partner in Golden Boy so I'd imagine he has amassed some of his wealth through that. A boxer's net worth isn't all about how much they've made through their fights. You do know that, right?

Do you know how much Hopkins made in his last fight? Have you looked at his PPV numbers? You're talking about net worth

He didn't say that though did he? He said it's a lose-lose fight. He gains nothing from beating Hopkins. Bradley gained a career high purse regardless of what happened against Khan.

Honestly Froch, after fighting Groves twice, deserves to retire or have one last legacy fight of his choosing (with someone attainable: JCC jr, GGG, Degale, Ward). I don't blame him for not wanting to face Hopkins. No matter how you spin it, B-hop is still an old man. B-Hop has everything to gain while Froch has relatively nothing, unless he wants to capitalize on a win with him for a bigger fight.

Bhop is a minority partner but I would still bet that most his wealth came from what he earned in the ring. And I believe that most reasonable people would agree with that. But, you can keep twisting it in attempt to convince yourself, for what ever reason, that Bhop is unpopular and has no fan base. And now that the immature a$$wipes are coming out of woodwork I'm done with this conversation.

With Bernard Hopkins it isn't so much about what he's earned its what he's saved makes him wealthy. Yes Mayweather has been paid hell of a lot more
, I wont say EARNED more. but lets see what they both have 5 years down the road. Bernard will still be a contented & wealthy family man . Floyd will be headed for skid row. He spends it faster than he gets it
