Does the purse split bother anyone else? He's fighting RJ for 50/50. If one guy wins by KO then they get 60/40 but the normal purse is 50/50.
It upsets me alot because the RJ-Hopkins rematch after the Tito fight was IMO the biggest fight in history not to happened. RJ at that time was still one of the best fighters ever and I think Hopkins at that time wouldve given any MW in history hell, including Hagler. I mean it just didnt get any better than that rematch. I actually thought up until that point that Hopkins gave RJ a harder fight than anyone in his career so I know it wouldve been a beast fight now with Hopkins at his peak & RJ fighting at a super high level.
Then you look back in hindsight and its even worst that the fight never came off because we saw an even older RJ come down to SMW and still look good against Tito while we saw Bernard jump straight from MW to LHW and look like a flat beast so you know that he couldve went to SMW at that time without any problem. There was questions at that time about how SMW would effect both guys but I think hindsight shows us that they wouldve put on a great show there at that time.
I remember being pissed at Hopkins back then for wanting a bigger share than RJ. I was like, how are you going to seriously demand a bigger share when RJ is a bigger name in the sport, the P4P #1 fighter in the sport, is unbeaten, and already has a win over you? It was like the dumbest thing ever. Everyone laughs at RJ's 60/40 Ill kick yo ass line but that **** was real talk. 60/40 was more than fair but I saw Hopkins in every interview say that after the MW tourney, there is no way that RJ can get a bigger share than him. It was dumb.
Thats why Im so baffled & upset now. You bitched & cried non stop back then about how you wont fight RJ without getting a larger share even though RJ had all those legitmate reasons that I named earlier about how he should get a bigger share, yet you are now fighting him for 50/50 when your name is just as big or bigger in the sport, you are rated way higher, you are clearly the better P4P fighter, and he is coming off of a horrible loss. Still you accept 50/50 but back then you wanted more than 50?
That **** dont make any sense. If RJ can get 50 with Hopkins now then there is no way in hell that he shouldnt have gotten 60 back then. That just shows you how dumb Bernard is and how he ruined that mega fight. It wouldve been a master piece IMO and this fool ****ed it up. Now he's fighting this shot, crap, non ranked version of RJ for 50 when his name is just as big or even bigger? **** 60 for the KO, you should be getting 60 anyways, at the least. This fool shouldve takened the 40 back then and he should be getting 60 now. I dont get it.
