Why Was Roy Jones Jr. Never a Huge PPV Draw?

Who was he going to make a huge PPV fight with?

Tyson.

its funny how jones was talking about fighting tyson even in the 90s. i have been spending alot of time reading these old ring magazines i got at a garage sale. greatest thing i ever bought.

old boxing is more interesting than whats happening currently. if i went by what happens on this board, id swear only 3 top fighters exist on the planet.

Well yes, toward the end of his career Jones had to make the move to heavyweight in order to make something happen. And when the Tyson fight didn't materialize, he was left with nothing.

I know he brought in numbers, but not DLH numbers... Not over 1 million buy numbers.. Why is this.. Jones was always really popular right? Really exciting, and entertaining to watch, IMO.

Maybe if there was a


Toney II, Toney III, Hopkins II, Hopkins III, Benn, Eubank, Calz

I don't think any of those would have been huge PPV's. One of them has already occured.

I would've paid to see Roy fight Michael Nunn as well.

Think about it: who was his promoter?
