I don't. Roy missed the press conference of course. Hey, can't blame him this time. It's like showing up to your funeral early

What? Hell **** yes I care. That's only a 2 hour drive from Tallahassee. I thought I was going to have to fly to Vegas to catch this fight. This is GREAT. I still haven't heard anything from Roy though. I'd like to hear him make some kinda damn comment but I guess he's the same old Roy. Hopefully he is motivated. **** he will get KILLED if he's not. Damnit. And the thing is there's not really a way to know until he is in the ring whether or not he has been motivated.

your ignorance just radiates...



To the BS forum (isn't that kindof ironic?), please don't assume things like i know most of you haters will by Jones not being at one press conference. Doesn't mean anything, if anything, it should have Tarver thinking.

Don't sit next to me. I might puke if I have to hear you cheering for Roy to get KO'd all night.

According to the NYTimes it's going to be at the Mandalay Bay. Link (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/28/sports/othersports/28boxing.html?ex=1123732800&en=fef43cabebc87ad1&ei=5070&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1122543173-hcvFreASK6QLkeqrJhS3Zg)

They got how Tarver won the rematch wrong, though. He won a UD, not SD.

Boxrec is also reporting it as being held in Tampa. I want to see a credible link on this, though.

HBO still has the venue as TBA.

Well Jones still has a fan base there I guess and its good for the sport that they are moving the big fights around the country and not just sticking them to Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and NYC. It gives the opportunity for kids who are interested in boxing to attend their first big fight and get inspired to work out and so on and maybe that will solve the obesity problem in the USA.

If Jones gets KOed one more time, it's over.

Does anyone care? I do...you do or you wouldn't have posted it. Roy didn't show on purpose...he is taking this fight seriously, no screwing around. We might see RJ Oct 1st... :)

JD, aka soundtraveler, told me on the phone last Fri. that it was definately gonna be in Memphis. He's working that night, announcing fights, so I'm sure he's right about that.

ESPNnews just had an interview with Tarver and Tarver was talking about how great it was to have the fight in his adopted hometown of Tampa. I wish it was in Memphis. I might make the drive out to Tampa though.

HBO is always slow with what goes up on their website. Got some proof though...

I imagine they'll be up on Ticketmaster. I'd check their website frequently. With the fight taking place in Florida, I'm not sure exactly how long they will last.

Do you think that Roy's fans from Pensacola will come to this fight? If they do its going to be an explosive night because Tarver's hometown fanbase will be there too.

I'd be willing to bet the crowd will be predominantly for Roy. I imagine there are as many Jones fans in Tampa as their are Tarver fans. I think Tarver is really from Orlando but claims Tampa. The gulf coast region is big on Jones for the most part. pbds could probably tell you more about what goes on in Tampa than I could.

The deal was apparently struck last night as far as the venue for this fight. It isn't up yet but should be up in the next few weeks. Keep checking. They'll put up an on sale date when all is settled.

considering that Barrett-Rahman is a ppv (what the f**k :confused: ) I'd be stunned if Tarver-Jones 3 wasnt. Too many low level fighterss are being passed off at ppv prices lately! :mad:

....I don't personaly love the guy but I think your pretty close on the fan thing. I would guess 60/40 but who knows how many jones supporters will make it down.
