    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.

    That's so sad. He's going to lose and possibly not make any money. I still don't think he'll retire but hopefully he'll have a hard look at things and decide to have a last hurrah in Florida against some tomato can then retire. He deserves better than this after his career, this is awful.

    I feel sick reading this, he is the greatest fighter I have ever seen bar none and he's 10 years past his best trying to find old glory which will not happen and now he's fighting potentially for nothing against a man he beat comfortably with one hand over 16 years ago.

    It's time to give it up Roy, as great as you were it's over!

    The only worthwhile protest is simply not to watch this fight.

    I refuse to. I don't think it will be competitive, and I don't want to see Roy get hurt.

    I think all concerned with this (DLF, Hopkins, Jones) should be ashamed, but especially DLH and Hopkins. A victory for Hopkins here means nothing, proves nothing and counts for nothing IMO.

    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.

    I ain't paying for it, but will find other means to watch it, it just ain't worth the money.

    BTW, if Hopkins loses he can use the excuse that Jones was probably on steroids.
