Should Roy accept 40/60 for the Hopkins match?

[BoxCleva]

The main problem with the negotiations between Hopkins vs Jones Jnr is the purse split. Jones says 60% to the winner and 40% to the loser. But Hopkins is after 60% for himself to begin with, leaving Roy with only a 40% share. However, Hopkins makes an interesting point which I think Roy Jones Jnr should consider. At this particular point in time, Hopkins is generally considered the better fighter.

Most people have Hopkins in their current p4p list, but most don't rate Roy Jones Jnr as a current p4p any longer. It's true that Roy Jones did beat Hopkins and for that reason he probably feels he deserves the lions share, so to offer a 60 winner/40 loser deal is already a big compromise on his part. But is that a fair way of evaluating the current deal? Isn't it better to accept that Hopkins is considered the better fighter today?

For the sake of this fight happening, thinking about the current status of each fighter, I think Roy should accept the 40/60 deal. On a side note, if Roy won, Hopkins might ask for a rematch and accept a 40% share next time. It could happen if the 2nd fight sells well enough. What do you think?

The fight should be ALL to the winner

I do not care what these old past prime american hypejobs get. One only fought smaller men the other one ducked everyfighter until he got KO twice.

60 to the winner 40 to the loser... I can't see what's wrong with it. I wouldn't say all to the winner and 0 to the loser cause they have certain sponsors and training camps to pay and ****. Plus they still need to get a little for all that preparation.

I really don't want to pay to see 'roid' jones vs the most boring fighter in the world ever.

Nobody gives a ****.

[Bhopreign]

Yes he should, its more money still than he would make anywhere else. They will never fight.

Idiot...

Stop hating on them just cause they are American and aren't European and give them props... they are very talented fighters especially in there prime.

I honestly think the same goes for BHOP, I don't know why but even a past prime Roy sells well...

Hopkins can make 5 million fighting Adamek, Dawson, or Williams. Jones made peanuts for his lastr two fights, and the most Green would bring is probably a million, maybe.

Hopkins is still relevant as a boxing elite and is number 3 P4P. Jones hasn't beat an elite fighter in a long time, which means he can not. He would be the underdog and would have something to gain, whereas Hopkins would not gain anything P4P wise or division wise by beating Roy Jones. 60-40 is a generous offer, **** this 60-40 winner loser thing, it has never been done before, probably because it isn't feasible.

If that was necessary to get the fight signed n sealed tomorrow, hell yea RJ should take 40. Bhop is more relevant than him right now.
