did hopkins/dawson really only do 40k buys???? wasnt the rematch also on PPV?

So what are you implying? Oh wow he needs a good dance partner for a solid buyrate that is nothing knew idiot.I hope your not implying BHOP isn't a draw because its dam well amazing he is still the type of draw that he is at his age. And if Adonis looks spectacular well I dont know golden boys plans but they can set that one up for PPV (BHOP vs Adoni) and it does well over 200,000

Rematch was regular hbo


Hopkins is a proven PPv draw,, vs a big name he does 300k,,, yes the jones and Dawson fights were flops, but Hopkins vs a big puncher will draw more interest

what the hell is the point of this stupid ass thread then? Every guy apart from Floyd need a dance parter for big buyrates thats a common fact.

If promoted right, Stevenson - Kovalev can get at least 200k PPV by themselves if not more.

No reason for Stevenson to run over to Showtime like Hopkins is the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiasse

Was it 40? I thought it was 20? Still a big draw, just wouldn't pay 60 bucks

I would but only big fights, not a cloud or pascal type fight, but vs ward, Chavez, froch, Adonis, kovolev. Then I don't mind the PPv price tag

Hopkins isn't a big draw though. That's just it.

There was no reason for Stevenson to run over to Showtime like Hopkins was Canelo or someone.

He could've done the same numbers with Kovalev that he can do with Hopkins, if not more.
