Hopkins offer pennies to Adamek, fight may be scratched...

Adamek is popular in Poland, if it's a big fight Adamek would get all of Poland watching, as well as Poles in the US and other Euro countries...he'll have a Golota-like fanbase


500k is ridiculous :atu:

 

Let him go to Germany and look for that then, cos he shouldn't be getting that in the states. Regardless of how exciting Hopkins is, he will be putting MANY more people in seats, both in the arena and at home...which still matters.

 

Sad, so sad but true,.. only in America can you flourish with immense wealth and love, for being the equivalent of cancer to the eyes and ears.

 

nah

Hopkins is nothing without a decent opponent...Adamek can grab a similar audience that golota drew

what were the PPv number for Hopkins fight with Pavlik again? :boohoo:

 

Hopkins doesn't put anyone in the seats unless he has a good opponent. In this case his opponent brings more people to the seats than Hopkins does. Like I said if Hopkins make 3 million Adamek should get 1. 25% is not asking for to much in this fight, that is silly.

 

If Adamek gets over $100,000, this won't be a profitable bout.

Like I said, he should get $25,000 base, and $75,000 if he wins. That's a good payday for this clown.

 

.....

Hopkins can just retire, since getting with G he is a hypocrite of the highest degree. Adamek can go elsewhere and make more than that shit offer.

 

Quit trolling, Adamek made more than that to fight Johnathon Banks.

 

exactly, I like Hopkins but lets not pretend he is a draw. Most of his fights have been money pit

 

Adamek will put more people into seats than Hopkins.

 

Not outside of Chicago he won't and thats not even a chance either.

 

How much did he make fighting Johnathon Banks?

 

According to Dan Rafael last week:

"According to Duva, Main Events and Adamek split more than $500,000 for his defense in Newark last month, an eighth-round knockout against the relatively unknown Jonathan Banks. Obviously, a fight with Hopkins would generate way, way more money. Adamek and Main Events certainly should share in it."

 

When I was reading last night I came across this....

If they split 500k Adamek would have made about 250k.

 

Beat me to it I had to find it again:bears:

 

You can throw Newark New Jersey into places that Adamek can outdraw Hopkins as well. Considering that's where the fight would have been happening I think that's a bit signifigant.

 

I don't know valdosta. I like Adamek, and I think he's a meat and potatoes kind of fighter, but I don't think he's worth $500,000. I bet his fight against banks didn't make any money for the promotion company.

I'm talking about turning a profit, and based on Adamek's popularity, he should be happy to get $50,000 base, and $100,000 if he wins.

That's more than guys like BJ Penn get, and people actually know who he is.

 

What does his meat and potatoes have to do with anything?

Keep it clean man, this ain't TAAA.

Humm? You know if Adamki can draw anywhere he can draw... Period. and yes he puts more people in seats than Hopkins and Hopkins puts more at the PPV gate. Its stupid to qualify where Adamki can draw... have the fight ina place where he can be a draw... because he will draw more people live than Hopkins.

I think they are both off but I agree with Adamki... If he takes a lowball offer he will fight for lowball offers. You don't do that and you don't negotiate for none of the trimmings, thats ridiculous. And you certainly don't negotiate with Hopkins he is too good at looking after his self interest go figure....

Fuck that Ademki does not need Hopkins. Hopkins is one of my faves but you know what? Fuck Bernard.... Low balling is low class.

Finally yeah Ademki should get some props for figting but not eveyone can make that shit work like Gatti did.

 

Don't compare boxing paydays to MMA paydays, they aren't even comparable with top guys especially. Adamek already gets paid better than 100k per fight so you can throw that type of comment out, it's silly. The truth is if there's 4 million available as they say there is Adamek deserves at least 25% which is 1 million. Even a fucking mandatory gets 25%:doh: Simple numbers, there's no way Adamek doesn't deserve 1 million if theres at least 4 available.

 

$500,000 is more than fair.

$250,000 for his company, and $250,000 to pocket.

If he beats Hopkins, he'll make more money in the long run anyway. He should take the offer and beat Hopkins ass.

 

He's obviously not accepting the offer and for good reason. A approximate 88-12 split? LOL. I am glad they turned it down that is ridiculous:bears:

You know... you guys are somewhat off on Hopkin's and Floyd's drawing power live gate. Unless the live gate does not mean much and I am missing something. Hopkins was never much of a draw dude! Gatti drew more! And the typical boxer with ethnic appeal puts hops numbers to shame unless I am mistaken. So why should Hopkins get the lion's share?

Being this is the case there is no guarantee that Ademcki will get more cash because he beat Hopkins. I don't see it:dunno: maybe if he beat a guy who draws a ton and a rematch was made.

 

Everyone knows who B-Hop is.

No one knows who Adamek is. Adamek got clowned by Chad Dawson, and that's the most exposure he's ever gotten on U.S TV. I honestly think anything other than an 85/15 split in favor of Hopkins would be unfair, because Adamek is a virtual unknown here in the states.

 

A virtual unknown who puts asses into seats. What a coincedence they were going to have the fight in a place where ADAMEK does the drawing. 500k isn't shit. We can argue about it all day but the fact is they turned it down and can make more elsewhere. That pretty much says it all.

BTW-Everyone knows who Hopkins is? Yeah that makes his ass worth even less because of all the stinkers he's been in throwing 2 punches a round. LOL. Hopkins is not ODLH, he should be realistic and just retire.

 

I hope Adamek closes the door on him.

Chad Dawson should turn up at Hopkins' public appearances, just dog him, embarass him into a fight as Tarver did to Jones, such that once Dawson beats Tarver again, it won't leave Hopkins anywhere to go except retire or get whupped by Dawson (as would happen I reckon).

 

not really man ::

It does not work that way. B-hop is a middle weight and those who know may buy the ppv but won't go to the watch em live. The Poles? they will come by the busloads to watch their man. Its that simple.

 

This fight is being discussed again, according to various sources.

The two sides are meeting on Thursday to discuss a potential January showdown in Newark, N.J. on HBO.

Hopkins turns 45 in January.

From Michael Rosenthal, Yahoo:

 

It's been long since Hops last fight. I dunno it's a good idea for him to move up in weight, not at 44 yrs old. Then again, he's defied age like no other athlete so I wouldn't count him out.
