    the rumor going around a few months ago was Roy is broke. How he spent all the money he made is beyond me, but if true, it is very sad.

    He already likely is going to suffer later in life because of all the head trauma he suffered in the past 6-7 years. Without any money, he won't even be able to enjoy the few decent years he has before he is suffering physically.

    When any good-great fighter gets out with their marbles relatively entact then it is a good day for a boxing fan. The best one can hope for is a guy like De La Hoya, who didn't take a ton of punishment to end his career (getting smacked around by Pac was much better for him than alot of the brutal beatings we see most very good to great fighters take at the end).

    You'd think that he'd be able to make a decent living doing broadcasting. He's great at it.

    Add to that the after dinner gigs, they paid six figure sums over in the uk the legends of the past. RJJ was over here doing a couple recently.

    I think a man with a name and past of Roy Jones can easily make a very good living maybe not the money he had in the past but live a luxury lifestyle compared to most.

    Maybe it's a combination of him being broke, relatively speaking, and being in love with the spotlight.

    Smoger's indicisiveness caused that final punch.

    Lebedev has a habit of destroying floundering careers. Ask Enzo Macarinelli.
