Roy Jones hyping rematch by hounding Bernard Hopkins - ESPN


When asked directly why people should buy a fight that has been so thoroughly trashed by fans and media, Jones was direct.


"Because we've laid down our hard-earned lives to put on two stellar careers over that 17-year period [since the first fight]," Jones said. "So why not lay down your hard-earned money to watch two guys who put their hard-earned lives on the line to entertain you people for 17 years. They understand who we are. They know who we are. They've watched us for years. We've entertained them for years, so why not give back to us and let us go at it one more time for the ages?"






Now Roy is acting like we owe him something. How could I forget, all those years he earned short money fighting Glen Kelly, and Rick Frazier, and Derrick Harmon, and Reggie Johnson?


Yeah guys, I really think we all owe it to Roy to pitch in and make sure he gets paid one last time.
