Hopkins vs Jones PPV numbers

Fighting the urge to use a "ya musta forgot" joke here.
Jones would have been better off ducking out after the Green fight. Not only was he involved in the worst joke of a fight this year, but he's not even getting paid.

Damn that's sad for RJJ that he's not getting paid for that fight. Damn how the mighty have fallen.

I'm surprised that a hundred-thousand people were dumb enough to actually pay for that abortion of a fight.

Confirms the old adage There's a sucker born everyday........

I don't think Jones needs the money....I remember always seeing odlh and rjj on list of highest paid athletes.....along with Shaq Kobe etc........up until the last few years he has been a smart business man

First thing I thought, man. Thats the first hint that boxing will never die. When you can sell 100,000 PPV buys of that TURKEY, then you know boxing has some LOYAL fans.

IT absolutely boggles my mind how someone who isn't filthy rich would decide to throw money away on this turkey. Absolutely terrible fight. Going into the fight, fans knew...

1) It had absolutely NO relevance.
2) It was likely to be boring, given the style of both guys and the fact that their first fight was one of the most boring fights you'll ever see

They should be thankful for 100,000 buys IMO.

A lot of boxers go broke for the same reason a lot of boxers get fat: trying to live the same lifestyle after boxing. Its human nature man, people hate change. Its hard to maintain a certain standard of living and then voluntarily decrease it to reflect your income.

Because he INSIST!!!! He is a PPV worthy fighter....The only time RJJ was a PPV fighter was at SMW at his early LHW years...after that he became boring...too safe and fighting not the best he was able....

He would do better just taking a purse these days for sure....I could not believe Sheika and Lacy were PPV........Anyone know what those fights did?

How depressing, this just gets worse and worse

[Kirkland Laing]

It makes you wonder how he could have agreed to the deal in the first place. He's either delusional or he's in serious money trouble.

He is having money problems, because of all the money he blew financing his own rap career. He was forced to take this risky deal because after his loss to Green, the original deal went out the window. Roy obviously thought the fight would do better business so he took a risk.
