Didn't Hoppa get beaten up by Gallen?
Browne must be scratching foe opponents... surely he can find someone better?? Does Browne have a promoter??
I would even have suggested a pre Xmas or New Year anzac clash JP v Browne down under would generate enough coin and give JP some work

Hope Gal gets a better workout vs Barry Hall on Friday night...
As for Hoppa, I think the only reason he's still fighting is that he has something like 11 kids to feed!

Browne slams Gallen, Aussie purses
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne slammed Australian heavyweight Paul Gallen because the Rugby League Football Legend earns ten times the amount of money the Perth-based Browne earns. “The reason I’m not fighting Gallen is Gallen is getting paid ten times more than I am for fighting someone who isn’t a boxer,” Browne said.
“Gallen won’t fight me, because he’ll pay me f**k all like I’m getting anyway. He’s getting paid more than I was paid for fighting for the world title. Six two minute rounds and he’s getting paid over double what I got paid for my world title.
“That’s just Aussie boxing for you. I get paid f**k all – and most Aussie boxers get paid f**k all. Footy players and people like that come on board and get paid ten times as much.
“If they want to offer me the same money as they’re fighting for, I’ll fight both of them on the same f***ing night. I don’t care at all. The fact of the matter is, I’m not getting cheap-shotted and not paid for something I should be getting paid a lot more for. So, that’s the reason.”

The article says it'll be an opponent outside the top 15. I guess it's a stay busy fight. But why not have a Parker/Whyte rematch? Both of them have been in training, and it would make for a huge card. With Whyte coming off a drug cheat charge, and Parker skipping out on the Chisora fight, it would make sense.

No - that would be PPV inn the UK
Might happen next year. Or even Parker - Usyk for the WBO belt
(Hope is a wonderful thing)
