is roy jones broke or something?
Idiot
You guys beat me to it. Lol
Just saw this and I doubt it'll actually get sanctioned and come off, but it is desperate and cheapens Roy's image and legacy even more.
It's a terrible idea.
Roy acts like an old porn star ready to retire (who nobody hires): who would f..ck me for 100,000?Quote:

If I were a bigger guy, thought I could do it, and didn't have to submit a video or do anything to get the chance, I might:p. As you said, 100k is nothing to scoff at, would mean a hell of a lot more to me than him and plus he asked for it. Realistically, Roy is still way way beyond people who haven't seriously competed as pros, this is a pathetic carnival act.
Remember Foreman taking on 5 men in one day.
Yes, at least those were pro fighters tho.Quote:

Watched him doing a promo for this and wow. Some make shift garage gym surrounded by banners for "Larrys plumbing" :-X.The thing is he's been fighting guys out of the audience in between KO's he has suffered for the last 4 years honestly. Former pro wrestlers on the card FFS :vd:
Who's 100k is this? Surely not his. Is this what his 'backers' aka financiers in Russia had in mind for him. What next, he boxes a gloved bear in Moscow?
Eventually you have to separate the guy you knew from the imposter they become and with Roy its to the point of pathetic. Seriously thinking the guy is permanently damaged.
It wasn't quite five but I remember seeing Yussaf Mack take on a couple of guys at the same time once :S.......................................Quote:

Surprise surprise Roy won. The geezer that got chinned said - "I'd like to see Roy go away from this,'' he said on URShow.tv exhibition. "Maybe, coach. I don't want to see him get hurt.''
That just about sums it up - get chinned, call for your opponent to retire.

Kinda leaped into that one.
Wow, I'm surprised there wasn't more promotion for this, how did I miss it:rolleyes:
Congrats Jones you have taken over for the worst guy not to call it a day. I used to think Holyfeild was bad and wish he would of called a day sooner but man not in my wildest dreams would i think atg would end his career fighting nobodies to this extent my god mighty have fallen.
Honestly it's come to the point where I hope he keeps being ko'd if when he continues :-\
It took just over a round for 47-year-old Roy Jones Jr. to finish Vyron Phillips on Sunday night in Phoenix, Arizona. The aging legend scored a decisive second-round KO.
Before the unaware Jones fan gets too excited about their idol's victory, it's important you know Phillips is a fan who won a contest and was rewarded with an opportunity to fight the former pound-for-pound champion.
Had Phillips found a way to win, he would have won $100,000.
The bout was the main event of a quadruple header of combat sports entertainment put on by UR Shows TV. Fans in attendance and those who purchased the pay-per-view also saw former UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen take on current UFC 185-pounder Michael Bisping in a grappling-only match that ended in a draw.
In an MMA bout, Shannon Ritch scored a submission win over Mavrick Harvey and Rey Mysterio defeated Kurt Angle in a pro wrestling bout.
Phillips is a 33-year-old mixed martial artist who had never previously competed as a boxer. That was immediately apparent as he appeared to be stiff and far too slow—even for an old and withered Jones.
In the first round, Jones took his time. He only chose to fire shots to keep his distance against Phillips. In the closing seconds of the round, a straight right hand knocked Phillips back into the ropes. He looked dazed, but the end of the round saved him from further damage.
In the second round, Jones put an end to matters with a counter right hand that sent Phillips to the canvas. He got to his feet, but he was too badly hurt to continue. The referee stopped the fight and Jones was the victor.
While this victory won't go on Jones' record, he has to be more pleased with the outcome of this fight when compared to his last outing. In December of 2015, Jones was brutally knocked out by Enzo Maccarinelli in the fourth round in Moscow, Russia.
When the fight was over, Jones acknowledged he's at the end of his boxing career, but he didn't commit to an end date. As a matter of fact, per the UR Shows broadcast, Jones said he may even appear on a future card from the streaming network.
Truth be told, Jones probably should have stopped fighting a long time ago. He's already taken some unnecessary beatings late in his career.
If he does choose to continue his career, he'd be better off fighting in low-risk exhibitions like this match with Phillips. If Jones is put back into the ring against a legitimate boxer, he won't have much of a chance to win.
I like Jones... but why doesn't he just get into coaching or something like that?
Seriously... it's tarnishing his legacy to see him go out this way.
That photo shows how old Roy looks. We all age, even the great Roy Jones Jnr. :)
Yes even the most chiseled pecs turn and fade into moobs... :(Quote:

It also reminded me of a few corny classic movies of yesteryear with most of the sound still intact. The circus strongman or fighter, take your choice will give a cash prize to anyone who lasts with the champ? It's been done before without media coverage and there is one difference, more people are snickering and laughing because technology passes your name to the eyes and ears of the public and an ostrich will not let you bury your head in his neighborhood. What makes it so hard for Jones to understand counting his blessings and walking away. Things change, People don't.
