By TK Stewart - You can spend your fifty bucks on Saturday night to watch a diminished Roy Jones, Jr. take on an equally spent Felix Trinidad, who must have received a day pass from his Puerto Rican retirement home to be in New York, but you can count me out. It’s debatable, but I think you just might get more entertainment by throwing fifty bucks in your fireplace or off the back of a train.
I won’t be on the scene nor will I be watching it on the screen.
Don King is calling his latest dog and pony show “Bring on the Titans” but he should’ve called it “Send in the Clowns” because this fight is nothing more than a sad joke that is being perpetrated on boxing fans.
Forget about the ludicrous pay-per view asking price of $49.95 - that’s small potatoes. The real laugh is the price of a ringside seat at Madison Square Garden, in the VIP seats, which has a cool asking price of $15,000.
Somebody should contact the Better Business Bureau.
The last time Felix “Tito” Trinidad was seen in a boxing ring he was embarrassed in a whitewash and was totally shut out by Winky Wright. A passive and puffy version of his former welterweight self, the 160-pound Trinidad was befuddled and confused by Wright’s southpaw jab and he lost the fight by unanimous decision with barely a whimper in protest. He and his father, Felix, Sr. then counted up their millions and hopped on the first flight back to San Juan to enjoy the rest of their life in retirement. [details]
