"LET'S DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, 60% TO THE WINNER AND 40% TO THE LOSER"-Roy Jones Jr.

I'll take take that bet bud :biggthump ok buddy... its on.... :)

Fuck it sounds fair to me! Jones while of lesser stature now is still as big a draw as hopkins, and Bernard has the chance to avenge a loss! For what its worth i got Roy winning this fight! He is a shadow of his former self but stylistically he beats Nard, he still has the speed to buzz around potshotting him, scoring a boring UD. I know its 8 years too late but id buy it, its interesting! Look, when the absolute best RJJ there ever was fought B-Hop it was a pretty close, although decisive points victory for Roy. Even Roy said that was the toughest fight he ever had before getting blasted by Tarver and Johnson. He won that fight because of his reflexes, hand and foot speed. Not likely he can find a Delorian time machine to bring back that Roy. Hopkins on the other hand got nothing but better (Boxing skills)since their first fight and although looks like he also is starting the slide downward is far the superior fighter at the present, along with possibly being the better suited fighter at light heavy. Roy will most likely take a beating ala Tarver but probably find himself KO'd at the end of Hopkins right cross instead of simply humiliated as was Tarver. Roy better take the 25-75 split cause where else does he have a shot at that kinda Money?

In all seriousness, Fuck Roy. He's starting to piss me off. I think it should be 50/50, but I can actually understand why Hopkins would ask for the bigger share now. I hope Hopkins fights him again and sends him into retirement for good.

if you're that certain, i've got 20k on Hopkins over RJJ should they fight.... what say you??? I'll take take that bet bud :biggthump

its any easy excuse now for the so called top guys, calzage, hopkins etc. who didnt want to go any where near jones for years to come out now and say -he's all washed up, why should i fight him? Its all just a cop -out, they would have got there heads handed to them in Jones' prime, they are now just using Jones' name to prop up there own fading careers. As much as i like Hopkins, he still cant tie Jones' boots! Well, one of them was calling Jones out for a good half a decade at least with no joy. More fights should be done like this. I'd go 80-20 though. It'll never happen but it'd make damn sure both fighters give their all.

DO IT! Quit bein a puss and take the fight Hopkins. You've been crying for this for decades now. Put up or STFU. Now its not about the money...cause the offer is fair. Old B-Hop is perfect for Roy. Bernies style? The old One and Done......lead right hands then Clinch. Roy has problems with active, heavy handed pressure fighters. Roy owns him....even this old roy.

Thank you. Yall actin like roy is a completely washed up fighter... He will beat bhop, again if you're that certain, i've got 20k on Hopkins over RJJ should they fight.... what say you???

Roy's ego is so big he still thinks hes a big star and can make demands like one.He should be happy that any top level guy would fight him. its any easy excuse now for the so called top guys, calzage, hopkins etc. who didnt want to go any where near jones for years to come out now and say -he's all washed up, why should i fight him?

thats a great idea. good thinking for jones but the problem is he's probably only getting 40 because bhop will win

"LET'S DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, 60% TO THE WINNER AND 40% TO THE LOSER"- That's the fairest thing I have heard in a boxing negotiation to this date. Anybody who would disagree with that is just a plain "sucker". "Dumbass", i personally prefer dumbass much better

Roy's ego is so big he still thinks hes a big star and can make demands like one.He should be happy that any top level guy would fight him. Another good post.

nah thsi aint right.. roy shoul not be getting no 40% he only deserves 30-35% IMHO

roy jones jr has nightmares about tarver and johnson

Unbelievable. Sorry Roy, but Hopkins is the light heavyweight champ. You're no more than a contender these days. You need Hopkins a WHOLE lot more than Hopkins needs you. Hopefully this'll mean the fight doesnt get made, Hopkins fights someone worthwhile and Roy Jones does what he should have done years ago - retire Damn Dude. Thats a damn good quality post.

lol hopkins would rip him apart

Most fights should be paid this way IMO......It would relieve alot of bickering and may the best man win.We also might get to see some better fights that may not normally take place due to money issues.I for one am quite sure Winky would take a rematch with Taylor as long as it was on neutral ground for this type of purse because he is so sure he can win. I agree with every word - well said.

LOL Roy ALWAYS finds his way out of big fights. No matter what he will come up with some way to get out of it. I can see him in 30 years in a rocking chair talking about fighting Hopkins for 6 months and pulling out. Hop has been finding a way out of a rematch with Roy for a while now. He denied the biggest payday of his life so he wouldnt have to fight Roy, and now wont take a purse that he says is guranteed 60%, which is his original offer!

In my opinion i love the idea of the higher purse going to the winner all the time in boxing. It would certainly end a lot of purse disputes imo.
