    My problem with it is that its on ppv and being treated like some sort of "mega matchup" by HBO by giving it a 24/7.

    This is HBO championship boxing level at best.

    And thats being generous considering what happened to Roy in Australia.

        They can do whatever they want. But don't make me pay for it. That's daylight robbery. Put that **** on Versus or ESPN and I'll order a pizza.

            I don't have a problem with the fight, I have a problem with them expecting us to pay for this farce to watch it.

              I think the reservations come from people's dislike of Bernard (like me) because he will def win this fight and is seen to be cherry picking a shot RJJ instead of fighting Chad Dawson. Beating Roy will add nothing to Bernard's legacy, it's just so he can say 'I beat Roy Jones Jr' when everybody knows Roy would've murdered him or Calzaghe for that matter at any time up to the Ruiz fight when he put on too much weight as was pretty much done as an elite athlete after that.

                Roy is master of getting big fights. He got a title shot after being KO:d by Tarver...

                He got a title shot after being KO:d by Johnson.

                He is used to this...

                  There is no 24/7

                    That's a little misleading. He hadn't fought in nearly two years and it was much anticipated.

                      Wasn't it Twelve months between Johnson and Tarver III? But yeah i agree i looked forward to it, thought Roy would UD Tarver that time.
