Trinidad To Get $15 Million For Hopkins Rematch

[street bully]

Thats what they said about the jones fight. second highest buyrate of 2008. trinidad is guaranteed at least 10 million per fight. i can see him getting 15.

I don't know about him getting 15 million this time, but Tito does have the PRcans wrapped around his stubby fat finger, but after that Jones loss I don't see how they could be that interested in him.

15 million? & i thought AIG was stealing money.

A rematch between Bernard Hopkins and Felix Trinidad will not come cheap. According to father/trainer Felix Trinidad Sr, promoter Don King presented Tito with an offer of $15 million dollars for a Hopkins rematch. As previously reported on krikya360.com, King recently came to Puerto Rico to meet with Trinidad and discuss terms for a Hopkins rematch. Although Trinidad has been chasing for a Hopkins rematch since the 2001 knockout loss, King claims that it was Hopkins who reached out to them to initiate negotiations for a November meeting.

please dont say it that loud!!! some ppl still hate that tito gets paid better than almost all the fighters!!!

he should open a school for fighters like paul williams.... maybe he can teach him some tricks so he can start finally hearing his name when he fights instead of chants for his opponents !

That's because Trinidad is a huge financial attraction; right behind Oscar. He's got charisma, nice smile and a general people's champ.

If the odds are really altered though to favor Hopkins which I assume...is 8-1 to big a gap? Anyways, if they are really outrageous odds, I have no problem putting a few hundred down just in case a magical left hook reappears from his WW days

If a magical left hook appears Hopkins will laugh and counter him with a head bunt and a straight right hand.

HBO gonna lose its ass on this fight like they did Calzaghe vs Jones but if my man Tito is gonna get paid like that then I'm all for it.
