Roy Jones may fight for free

[Lance Uppercut]

Thomas Hauser's latest column indicates that Jones' deal to fight Hopkins is structured so that: first the promotional expenses are paid, then Hopkins receives his 3.5 million dollars, then Jones receives the next 3.5 million dollars, then the fighters split the rest if anything is left over.

Accordingly, Jones ONLY gets paid if the show makes enough money to cover cost and pay Hopkins his 3.5 million dollars.

Thus Jones could be out of luck if this ppv does not sell well.

Get ready to see Roy EVERYWHERE to promote this fight.

Funny to see b-hop hyping shane up to get his ass kicked while he runs from real fights to show the world he's just a capable as danny green. And i bet he even takes longer than green did.

Jones would have known he was on peanuts for this. Guess it's his final roll of the dice. Sad way to go out

"Hard to negotiate with Roy" has come to this? He has to know this is a desperation shot because he knows he is shot.
