    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. I don't even mention Roy to the younger guys because what they have been seeing will only make me look foolish if I try to tell them how special he really was for like 15 years straight. Now this

    I agree with Mar that it's a joke that this fight is on ppv. Roy reached the point of desperation long before this though, as HBO (with the exception of the Calzaghe fight, which also bombed btw) has pretty much wiped their hands clean of Jones. He's simply not a fighter that people have any interest in watching fight any more, let alone paying to watch.

    Not really. HBO passed on the fight all together. So Goldenboy is going to produce it with their own ppv and HBO's only role will be distributing it. Which means that you wont see any HBO graphics, HBO commentators, or ever see this fight re-run on HBO.

    How will they be "distributing" it then?

    I don't understand what that means.

    Host the fight and sell it to other networks to for fees.

    To make it available to buy. Goldenboy doesn't have connections to every cable company in the US like HBO does, so they have to give them a % to use those connections. Besides the distrubution, Goldenboy is on their own.
