RJJ Interview: "BERNARD DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE THE FIGHT"

[TonyJ]

I remember when Hopkins wanted it 7-8 years ago but Jones wanted the big share. At that time Jones thought Bernard was a nobody. Payback time Roy.

Bull****. Hopkins was a nobody and fought for peanuts, so **** off. Roy beat Hopkins with one hand.

[ИATAS]

Roy doesnt care about fighting B Hop...he is making more dough than B hop and has been making morre dough than B-Hop

How much money did Roy make against Jeff Lacy?
How much money did Roy make against omar shieka?

Who is ranked in the top 10 pound 4 pound list?
Who is ranked #1 at light heavyweight weight?
Who has fought nothing but elite fighters?
Who has fought pretty much nothing but bums?
Who has got absolutely destroyed in the only 3 times they fought elite fighters in the last 5 years?

I agree with natas...


but on a side note.. what other options does nard have?

I think a match with roy... would be a good one he will get revenge easy... and will add a "shot" but still good name .... damn... roy's last ppv really ******... so we have to assume that those over 400K he did with tito.. .he didnt have to do n othing with it?

anyway... what else can he do??? do u think he should push for a williams fight.. i know paul aint fighting him @ 170 .... adamek & dawson will not represent $$$ for him.. and at this stage thats what hopkins is looking for !

[Rabbit ♠]

I'd love to see a rematch. I love Roy, but Bhop in his old age is a bad MF.

Roy Jones nuthuggers are so delusional,He beats a shot Lacy and somehow he's back guess what ******s? It's called clever matchmaking,Something that worked well when he comfortably beat a washed up bloated Trinidad.It makes you fools still have an interest in an irrelevant wash out like Roy Jones

Roy Jones ten even five years ago would never give an mmGAY fighter the time of day and now he he wants to box this bum even though it would never get sanctioned

Roy Jones is struggling with money and that is why he is still fighting

he could make more fighting Roy in one fight than he would vs Dawson & Adamek

Dawson & Adamek arent PPV fights

RJJ is a guaranteed PPV fight that will do GREAT....it will be a **** talking fest and maybe the best 24/7 ever


clearly shot?

Adamek and Dawson would mean a hell of alot more to his legacy than washed up Roy Jones

[THE REED]

Really? HBO isn't exactly jumping for joy to get this fight. Roy Jones last PPV did what? 30,000 buys?




Yes, and anyone that doesn't believe so is living in denial. Don't be fooled by Jeff "LOL" Lacy and Omar Sheika.

Lets not start bashing PPV buys, when BHOP Pavlik did 190k and they didnt even put BHop Joe on PPV

how is he SHOT though? That word is soo over used....explain how he is shot? Cause he isnt as fast on his feet @40 like he was when he was 26?

Roy is one of the most talented boxers ever to lace up gloves....he can STILL fight...and im not fooled by the Sheika or Lacy fights...but in no way is jones SHOT...he has defense, he can still punch with accuracy and speed.....SHOT? I dont think soooooo he comes in fights in shape and ready to fight...

Can he beat the Top LHW? IDK,...but he is not a "SHOT" figthter

Not only that HBO is willing to put up money for these fights whereas I don't know how much money they would want to put up for a hopkins/jones PPV being that they are on a budget. The money will never be right for all three parties to agree on.

It looks like HBO will put up the money for hopkins/adamek in January and hopkins will get his nice 60/40 split. As long as jones complains about hopkins promoter fees (or golden boy whatever) this fight will never be made.

yes againt the GREAT WHITE HYPE....was a dud

Roy-Calzaghe did more than B Hop-Pavlik

[Paragon]

Hopkins should take his fight just to get even. Neither of them are in their primes, but I see Hopkins taking this
