Roy would be a big money Tune Up for Dawson or Adamek

[THE REED]

I just remebered this thing has been done before. Ali and Frazier agreed before their third fight that the winner would get an additional million dollars taken from the losers purse. It's clearly stated in the last chapter of Ali's autobiography. They used it for additional publicity (not that they needed it).

Sounds great and all, but it doesn't change the fact that it has never happened in a big fight before, not once, and probably for good reason since this is probably not the first time it has come up. Pacquiao lost in a fight more decisive against Morales, and ended up getting the bigger purse in the rematch, whereas the first fight he was dictated to in every aspect. Boxing is about the quality of the opponents you have beat, and in the past 5 years Hopkins has excelled Jones without question in that aspect. How could jones not expect to make less?

Bernards going to make 60%.. its basically given to him...

I never said it was illegal. Only that it has NEVER been done in any fight, even though there have been countless money disputes in big fights in the past. If this was such a great idea it would have been done before. Saying that Roy really hasn't done much in the past 5 years to make money demands, and if it was Roy who had all these recent big wins, and Hopkins losing to every elite fighter since 2004 Roy probably would have said 80-20. It's odd, because when Hopkins had the win over Pavlik he praised Roy and had nothing bad to say about him, and then Roy before the Calzaghe fight while he was full of confidence, and mor eor less promising himself a victory says "Hopkins can forget a rematch" only to mention Hopkins name after the lopsided fight.

Also Hopkins had a lot of repect for him and said out of concern that Roy should retire since he clearly could not beat elite fighters. 11 months go by and Roy fights two no hopers, claims he is back at his best and says he wont accept less off the top? Come on this isn't WWE. Fights have concrete contracts stating exactly what each fighter will make before hand.

Then why doesn't Hopkins take the winner takes 60 deal? He would win don't you think, is he thinking the same as you? do you think that Hopkins is confident in beating roy?

Funny how you guys try to twist this into a cryptic way of basically saying Hopkins is scarred. Listen Hopkins has done more as of late, is a P4P fighter, is rated number 1 in the division, Roy isn't and hasn't done anything good since he fought Ruiz. Hopkins deserves to make more off the bat, screw this winner takes a certain percentage nonsense which has never been done before for a good reason, it isn't feasible. Hopkins has done more as of late, and is more relevant to his division. Almost everyone knows this and will admit it.

I hit a blunt about an hour ago.

[THE REED]

hahaha me too... about to hit another one.

I pmed Natas... apologized for that... that was uncalled for, and I was the starter with that. I respect him, we disagree a lot.. but he brings facts and reasonable arguments to a debate so I respect that... plus Ive been cool with him way too long.

We are just really big fans of two fighters who happened to get into it today, and what do you know... so did we..

[VipersThunder]

The boxing commission does not care what the percentages between two fighters get.

It has nothing to do with them.

And if that was the case, it would of been the first thing out of Bernards mouth.

Sorry but YOU ARE WRONG. Why do you think it' never been done before?

Bernard was not responding because he doesn't have time to respond to bull****.

Natas is a cool cat. Lol, you mofos flipped on each other. Nothing like Horus at all.

[VipersThunder]

It's definitely do able, and its not about what hes accomplished... I mean 2 years ago when Roy DIDNT EVEN HAVE 2 tko wins behind him... Bernard offered him a 50-50 fight?

That was before even the Trinidad fight... he just came off 3 losses in a row and beat Badi and Hanshaw... thats way less than what he has done now (which still isnt great)...

But Bernards a business man... the fans want to see it, he DOES have the most convincing win over you in your entire career, even if beating Roy now means nothing... does 8 million dollars NOT?

Sounds like EASY work for me.

Yeah, And even if he does think that you think Bernard is going to wheel and deal over the phone? Like I said Jones is nothing but an immature, dumb hick who hasn't even learned not to talk over people yet.

I know he isn't.
