Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Shakes Head at a Mayweather vs. McGregor PPV

Conor wouldn't beat the Mini Fly weight Champ at boxing

I think y'all are being too hard on Roy. He's not necessarily condemning the fight he's saying the fight doesn't make sense. The MMA is not going to risk one of their cash cows against the best boxer of the era. The embarrassment would hurt the MMA brand. At the same time boxing fans would not take this fight seriously because no one expect an MMA fighter to beat a boxer in a boxing match let alone Mayweather. The idea of this fight is generating a lot of buzz but I don't believe this will come to fruition.

Lol connor retired due to media obligations inagine the media sht storm he would have to deal with if he had to fight floyd media obligations for small money compared to a mayweather fight. im sure he and everyone else in that position would have no issues with the media obligations for 1 fight if it were for the money they would get from a mayweather fight.

i dont see where roy is criticizing it for being a ppv. he's saying that the match won't happen, not that he thinks it's a circus act. he's also saying ufc won't allow it to happen cuz it will hurt their brand and that mcgregor has no chance. the title of the article has everyone up in arms but it's highly misleading.

Lmao... Roy just salty and jealous... Does anyone remember when roy was p4p #1 in his prime and fighting garbage guys like Brannon, and an off duty cop... Didn't roy just want to fight a fan that won a contest.. Didn't roy try to hype up him fighting anderson silva or kimbo Remember when roy tried to hype a buster douglas fight Roy can't shake his head at anybody

I shake my head at Roy Jones saying his still going to continue fighting

why is mcgregor getting a floyd fight??? shouldnt it be nate diaz? i feel sorry for any human that would actually pay money to see this. You guys are getting played by two frauds. It worked great for Manny a bunch of times fighting guys off loses , Floyd thought he would try it out for change .

Hang about didn't you just fight a fan? :dead1: Was thinking the same thing. He's got no leg to stand on.

McGregor can go in the ring with Mayweather as a referee. That's it!

My opinion. And its just mine. Prime Roy Jone Jr is the goat. Period. The real TBE. He had the size, strength, speed, quickness, intelligence, footwork, courage, power and that swag. Big floyd fan but Roy was the truth and is criminally underrated.

People calling Jones out for fighting MMA guys need to remember that he's 46 years old, and nothing like what he was in the 90s. If a prime Jones challenged Nate Diaz to a boxing match at 160, I'd be disappointed, but the current version of Jones can't beat remotely competent boxers. It's not exactly the same thing.

Haven't been able to say this for a while, but Roy for the win!

Floyd is seeking 9 figures! That means $1 more than 99,999,999.00. That's crazy! Would Roy Jones Jr. turn down 9 figures to fight Jon Jones? If Floyd fights McGregor for 9 figures, in a boxing match, I can not be mad at him!

Oh wow, I kept reading the comments about RJJ fighting a fan, and I was like intrigued, as I hadn't come across it yet. Looked it up and I cannot believe that was even legal. :nonono: Yeah...that was some sad shiat. Next he's going to box a kangaroo! C'mon Roy!

Roy you wanted to fight Anderson Silva man and you just fought a fan

I bet he got KTFO by the mere thought.

Didn't Roy try to fight Anderson Silva on PPV? And just fought a fan on PPV? Hypocrisy at it's finest.

ok Roy's made some bad decisions but they don't stop this from being a ridiculous idea.
