Jones-Hopkins II is getting closer to being done.

[Pullcounter]

I assume he understands that.

yep, that's why rjj lost the job in the first place. I dunno if hbo will bring him back if rjj is gonna be difficult. he has a history of being difficult.

[Stoppage]

I hope this fight happens. It would be cool to see two legends going at it one more time.

Yeah. I think he has changed a bit from his prime days, thats the feeling i get anyway. He seems to be much more relaxed and willing to compromise nowadays. He seems to enjoy all the things around the fights like press conferences, promotion and all that stuff much more. Therfore i think he is more genuinely interested in the commentator job now. It wouldn't make any sense for him to demand getting to do it again if his not gonna take it seriously.

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)

hbo will get it done , competing wit showtime bernard made his bed with black balling thomaz adamek and running late with paul williams deal and wanting know parts of dawson early.

Hey is there anyway you can post up the interviews or pm/email them to me?

That's funny Roy wants his job back. That's probably worth more then the whole fight. He should take 30% if that's the case.

[VipersThunder]

dammit i hope this gets made. anybody here know of a goood remedy for a hangover?

You could drink your own piss.

[Shadow boxer 3]

i hope this fight gets made. war roy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VipersThunder]

I really don't want this to happen to be honest. If Jones beat Calzaghe then I would have loved it but a win at this point wouldn't exactly do anything for Hopkins' legacy. I'd rather see him fight Adamek and capture a cruiserweight title.

Ever heard of bragging rights?

[razor.thin]

perfect way to end his career, beat hopkins again then become a HBO commentator.

[razor.thin]

roy is the type of character you want to keep in boxing. albeit as a trainer, commentator etc.
