      Hey, it's a great gig for Jones, keep collecting these $4 to $5 million licensing fees while taking on the likes of Woods.

      Even HBO, which in the past has staunchly defended Jones at all cost, is getting fed up with this racket. They are making no bones about it, Jones-Woods is being aired on their network -- not because they want to, but because they have to.

      Its Jones who gets the fiinal say in the purse splits and the splits he was offering werent very good

                If he fought Nunn it would of been during the mid to late 1990's, so I dont see the problem

                  Why would his friend lie about a thing like that? What would be the point now? Why dont you try to find what the fighters who supposedly recieved offers from Roy have to say, before you make up your mind?

                    Such things are important when you are trying to evaluate a fighters legacy.
