Hopkins vs Jones PPV numbers

[CFH]

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.
