These shows only work if the personalities involved are exciting or controversial or it's a hugely anticipated fight.

The Jones Trinidad fight is certainly a long way from being an anticipated fight, it's the equivalent of an England playing Poland in a International soccer pre season friendly.

As for personalities, I like Roy but Trinidad barely speaks English and is completely irrelevent to the fight game nowadays so I don't see how they could have made him interesting.

Basically he's coming out of retirement to get a final big payday in losing to Roy Jones. It's probably the most predictable result ever in boxing, the only question is what round will he go in.

It's not the fault of HBO's Countdown series that it wasn't more exciting for you. You cannot polish a turd after all.
I'll take Poland
