Both Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr ducked rematches against Hopkins

[IMDAZED]

really? remind me how many PPV sales did roy do for his last fight?

500,000 plus, short of his high against Ruiz and slightly higher than Tarver-Jones III.

This is Calzaghe's debut on US pay-per-view.

I don't see what's wrong with both companies getting half the 25%. Square Ring promotions isn't quite on par with what GBP will do for their fight, but that's something that could have possibly been worked out. But who cares, if Roy is good enough to beat Calzaghe and hang in with Hopkins, then the fight will be made. UNLESS ROY WANTS TO DUCK HIM SOME MORE THAT IS!!

that was roys point... it should be split 50/50 just like bernard said it would... then when bernard didnt want to... roy offered 60/40 60 to the winner...

roy isnt ducking bernard.

How many did Calzaghe vs Hopkins do? Better still, Calzaghe vs Kessler?

Roy is the name here son.

bernard priced himself out of a rematch..........60-40 was more than fair when bernard had only had one big fight in his life(in which he was the sidekick by the way)...especially since jones was gonna come down in weight, because gay ass b-hop did not want to fight at the weight class everybody knows he belonged, even as a middleweight, meaning light heavyweight...

and by the way, prime for pirme roy jones pot shot hims and out points him comfortably......just like when they fought......

Don't agree with everything you wrote but nice to see someone on here who actually followed the sport then...or did his homework.

True or False? Prime vs Prime, I say Hopkins beats Roys ass, because him sticking his head out and baiting Hopkins would be a no no. Roy was known for his reflexes, I was never impressed by Roys defense in his prime compared to Hopkins and even fighters not as good as Hopkins in the defense department.

Are you trying to get a quote back in my signature or what? LOL

As your pole shows, Jones would have and probably will still whip B-hop.

Hurts, but it's true sonny.

Calzaghe: Forget about it. Rematch will never happen. He's retiring, not ducking.

P.S. Jones already decisively beat Hopkins and has tried numerous times to get a rematch. Hopkins was the one holding the fight up, not Roy.

Roy quote: "60-40 I'll whip yo ass!"

That old "60-40 I kick yo ass" interview wit Roy, B-Hop, and Larry is hilarious. That rematch didn't happen cuz of the $. Joe just fought him this year and was lookin to do other business, as well as the fact that the fight wasn't that good. Nobody really demanded a 2nd fight on that one.
