Comments Thread For: Weekend Thoughts: Busy TV Week Brings Action, Acrimony

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lee Groves - What a tremendously busy week for televised boxing: Fight Night Live on FSN Thursday, Thompson Boxing on Fox Sports Español on Friday, then cards on HBO, Showtime, Fox Sports Español and TyC on Saturday.

So many shows and so few machines with which to record them…not a bad problem to have. Plus, it provides the perfect counterpoint to the “boxing is dying” crowd, for if the sport were dying why would so many TV en****** devote precious airtime to it? This roll call included just the cards available on American TV, much less the ones accessible on the web. [Click Here To Read More]

that was a good read. I already felt bad for Roy Jones but the right thing to do is nobody order or show up for the fight b/c Roy's pride won't let him retire with what little sense he has left. I think he's reached the stage where there's no turning back and he's willing to gamble for glory. I always waited to see if something was pushing him to continue like the IRS or Alimony etc but the man is just flat out stubborn. He loves the fame and attention, either that or he's still looking to rewrite his losses and now more than ever he needs his fans (shame on HBO and Hopkins) to pay him no attention so that he can find happiness somewhere else. As great as Roy Jones Jr. was his memories will outlive us all, but if he keeps on he will surely lose his life in the ring where it all began. Hopkins could have took the ****** 40% 10 years ago and made more money than he's making for this fight. If Hopkins doesn't face Chad Dawson he's the biggest disgrace ever and yeah he's older but I'm sure a CT Exam will show that Roy physically and mentally is not the same fighter and Bernard knows this just like Calzaghe did but out of everybody I respect Calzaghe the most because he didn't do what Danny Green did and what Hopkins is about to try to do. The real victory for Roy Jones will be coming out of this without ending up like Ali or Freddie Roach
