Guest BigPoppaKev Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 All these two is bicker like old men. They are like the kids on the playground that are always like "Yeah you hit me man. Then we will see what happens." If they wanted to fight each other so much they would do a 50/50 split on the money with a purse for the winner. They need to get in the ring and see who truly is the best.
Guest alkeiper Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 They actually did fight all the way back in '93. Jones won by decision. They need to fight again though.
Guest BigPoppaKev Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 I know they fought before but it wasn't as meaningful as it would be now. They need to fight to settle best pound for pound fighter. They are 1 and 2 on most experts list and I totally agree. It is time to see who the real best is.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 Isn't there a dispute over how the purse would be split?
Guest BigPoppaKev Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 Not a purse so much but like the actual earnings from the fight. Jones thinks he's the bigger draw. Hopkins thinks he's the bigger draw. Jones proposed a 60/40 split in Jone's favor. That would still be a good chunk of change for both of them. I can see why Hopkins would bauk at that idea. I say just split earnings 50/50 then have a say 5 million dollar purse and the winner gets like 4 and the loser get 1. Sounds simple but it's not.
