You don´t think that wasn´t scripted? They saw how much stupid media attention Vargas/Mayorga shoving contest got and decided to have a little PPV sales push of their own.
Well if it was, B-Hop better hope it brings in more buys because on ESPN they were saying the commission's looking at 10% of his purse
I'm not saying he cant win. He can outpoint B-Hop(I'm picking Nard though) but he sure as hell aint kickin B-Hop's ass! Winky is just lucky Hop aint 6-7 years younger, and at 160, or else HE'D be getting his ass kicked! As it is, B-Hop is too old to put a beating on him, but I still think he'll outbox him.
Hopkins faces fine, suspenson! Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, has ordered that 10% of Bernard Hopkins' $3 million purse be withheld for pushing Winky Wright in the face during Thursday's weigh-in. The incident initiated a brief scuffle. At the end of the month, the commission will rule on whether "The Executioner" will be fined or suspended over the incident. from fightnews.com
Has this happened before? I've never heard of a portion of a fighter's purse being witheld for this type of stuff. Plus 10 percent sounds like a loit. This stuff happens in boxing all the time.
Yup, pre Golden Boy Hops would have done that for sure. Plus I wonder if Winky is going to get fined for retaliating, somehow I don't think so though.
Well, not good business...since boxing can't even sniff most sports shows before a fight without some kind of brawl.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXACTLY!! This sets an awful precedent. The pre-fight brawls sells the fights to the public. What the fuck is this guy thinking by fining hopkins? :doh:
So B-Hops gets fined and possibly suspended? Will Mayo get fined an possibly suspended for his antics at the Vargas presser?:dunno:
