Pascal-Hopkins press conference from Quebec City Hall included some surprises. Aside from Santa showing up, the usually verbose Bernard Hopkins limited his press conference statements to three words, Jean Pascal refused to translate his remarks into English because “in this town, we speak French,” and an intense scuffle broke out when Hopkins refused to hand over Pascal’s WBC Light Heavyweight belt to the champ. Quotes:
JEAN PASCAL, WBC, Ring Magazine and IBO Light Heavyweight World Champion
“Bernard Hopkins says that the smartest guy will win. He says he is the intelligent man and I am the idiot. After the fight, everyone will know who the dummy really is.
“This is going to be an early Christmas present for all of Canada, but you are just going to have to pay for the present on pay-per-view.
“When I go to the states, you guys speak in English. There is no translation. Now you are in my country, you are not home. This is my territory, so in this town, we speak French.”
BERNARD HOPKINS, Former Two-Division World Champion
“Enjoy the fight.”
