Holyfield-Jones In The Works?

Silencers17y ago

Here’s a little nugget, a little tidbit for you to ponder as you settle in for a long winter’s nap, or get the cookies ready for the jolly fatman, as you cross your fingers that he won’t get stuck in the chimney, or get mistaken for a cat burglar as he makes his way into your apartment via the fire escape. I’m hearing, from someone who heard it from someone, that a Roy Jones-Evander Holyfield fight is in the discussion stage. From TSS, TSS has falsely reported another fight before, I can't remember which one but it wasn't that long ago. Interesting if it is true though. Thoughts?

I'll put in a call to Jones today and see if it's true.

17y ago

this would confirm jones is only in it for the money he has been just in it for the money since Johnson - Jones

17y ago

bad idea...

17y ago

Just make these old guys go away already. I'm not sure I'd even watch this for free.

17y ago

yeah pretty lame fight if it comes off. but considering how Roy looked vs Calzaghe and the fact that Holyfield is no longer fighting under the HBO banner I think there's a pretty good chance that it would be a lower level PPV meaning the cost would be around $24 .... oppose to $50 still though both men should retire.

17y ago

What a sad, carnival side-show fight this would be. Holyfield needs the money so he's forced into continuing, but Jones needs to face reality and hang up the gloves.

17y ago

Why? No! OK, let them collect the purse! They deserve it.:boxing:

17y ago

was kel or keenan that use to go whhhhyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

17y ago

this would confirm jones is only in it for the money

17y ago

Just WHY!!:gives:

17y ago

Just think, If Holy had got the decision against Valuev, Jones would have a chance to become a 2 time Heavyweight champ :rofl:

17y ago

Jones by UD. in my dreams Holy shows up and knock Roy the **** out. I guess real deal has a shot if Tarver did it.

17y ago

What an awful idea... Obviously this will be PPV, and obviously a ton of people will buy it... :nonono: I don't think it's that bad a fight, not to say it's a good fight but worse fights can be made, especially if it's Jones' last fight, Holyfield would probably fight on win or lose but I agree with you, a lot of people will probably buy the fight, even at this stage of their careers.
