Originally posted by dstew View PostJones/Taylor would only be made by HBO as a way to invest in the winner. Both fighters have suffered recent setbacks and need a marquee win on their resumés before HBO can go on to make any more decent money off of them. I'm sure they'd rather have Taylor win (and I think he would) because he's got a lot more career ahead of him, but on the off chance that Jones won it would give HBO another chance to cash in on his name in a big, meaningless fight.
One thing's for sure, if Jones somehow wins it definitely won't be a retirement fight. It will give him false confidence that he still has it and he will continue fighting until someone sends him out of the ring on a stretcher.

Originally posted by Enemy/Friend View PostTaylor would have to be a fool to except that fight with Jones. It is a lose,lose situation. If he wins,he beat a shot Roy and if he lost the fight there is no belt to fall back on. No one will pay to see that fight,even if it were free people wouldn't tune in. Calzaghe already beat up the man for twelve rounds and Taylor went after his first victim in Lacy so why continue after Joe's leftovers when you can face Froch or Kessler for a belt?

Jones would be an interesting fight actually. It would be good to see Roy perform well and show he's not as shot as many like to exaggerate as such.
Johnson will be all over this, he's desperate for fights.
However, if HBO don't want Froch and Taylors HBO contract is up, then perfect timing dickheads, crack on with Showtime then.
