In summary... Roy Jones agreed to a 45-55 split in Bernards favor. Roy said he was willing to take the short end percentage if he got his commentating job back on HBO. Bernard is interested in the deal and Roy is agreeing if HBO can do it.
We're waiting to hear what HBO comes back with. But HBO has been involved in this deal specifically so they are already aware of the conditions.
Roy said he already signed TODAY to fight Danny Green, but if a Bernard rematch goes through, he would pay Danny to wait.
Bernard is also a little turned off with the Chad Dawson fight now, because what HBO is trying to do is they basically think Chad is going to beat Glen Johnson, and then make Bernard wait til MARCH, so that Chad gets his rest, and Bernard has to wait even LONGER than he already has... Bernard sees this as HBO is setting up their new young fighter for success and they are ready to send Bernard packing home. (This is coming specifically from Bernard)
