  • I asked Bernard Hopkins about a press release the company he works for sent out the day before we saw each other at the Canelo vs. Kirkland press conference. The press release detailed the lawsuit Golden Boy Promotions filed against boxing manager Al Haymon and included a quote from Hopkins in it. This is what happened.

    Saddens me what Hopkins has become as a promoter.
    He was my favorite fighter, he had to fight to get what he deserved because crooked promoters and networks looked to take advantage of him during his career. As a result he didnt get what he deserved until late in his career and even then he didnt get his just due.
    Now that he has retired, put away the gloves and thrown on and suit, he is looking to do the same thing he fought so hard against as a pugilst.
    Trying to sue another black man doing what's in the best interest of the fighter is deplorable. I expect it from the likes of Bob Arum and DLH but for Hopkins to be complicit, it disappoints me.

    So the question becomes, what is the defining quality of agelessness? The sheer desire to compete-whether rational or not-or is it based on those who continue to fight and achieve some level of success? And at what age does a fighter transition into the period of his career when his deeds in the ring characterize him as ageless?

    Ask Hopkins how he faked the pain when he failed down the ring in the hope his opponents got disqualified. Ask Hopkins how he lured smaller fighters to fight him in super middleweight n light heavy weight so that he culd beat them easily n he looked good n made easy checks. Those what he is expert in. Ask him these questions. Shame on Hopkins.

    It's not that he's becoming more powerful... is that they want Al Heyman out of the game, because a lot of the boxes are going to his stable. Out of all the managers out there slash producer he offers more benefits for the people that actually do something for boxing... which is the boxer and their family. Golden Boy and Bob and the other management companies takes most of the money for them self.

    Just because you speak better than other boxers doesn’t mean you’re smart. I think he was very condescending for no reason. Bhop made it clear that the guy was doing his job, just say “no comment” and move on. Asking about his degree and everything was unnecessary. He didn’t sound that great when he was going back and forth with Roy Jones and Roy told him to get some English lessons. This dude here has an English degree, he just lost his opportunity. Smh.

    • @daamoore
      @daamoore Před 9 lety +8

      You are probably wrong on this one. Hopkins clearly knew what he was doing. First, he gave the interviewer the courtesy of listening to the quote to determine the context in which it was given. Then, after determining that he did not want to say anything about pending litigation beyond what he had already said (a smart move), Hopkins took a moment to praise himself and briefly give the interviewer a hard time. A "smarter" interviewer might have pressed more, but that interviewer would not have had any more success than the interviewer in this video had. Also, Hopkins recognized and acknowledged that the interviewer was just doing his job. That move from Hopkins probably allowed the interviewer to walk away from the encounter feeling more comfortable about approaching Hopkins in the future with questions that Hopkins is willing to answer. All in all, Hopkins handled the situation as well as you would hope that a highly self-confident athlete who is a party to litigation would handle it.
