Hopkins
fined $200,000 for weigh-in Brawl
(AUG 18) Bernard Hopkins went before the boxing regulators in Nevada on
Friday, in regards to him instigating a brawl with Winky Wright at a
weigh-in for their July fight. State Athletic Commission Chairman Tony
Alamo told Hopkins at a hearing, “In Nevada, no melees, no
free-for-alls, no fighting should be taking place at a weigh-in. The
only time there should be fighting going on is the night of the fight."
Hopkins was fined $200,000 for the
incident. Hopkins told the board that what set him off was the trash
talk about his dead mother, that was said by the Wright entourage. There
was no fine imposed on Wright. |
