To add insult to possible injury, Jones might not make any money from the fight. Despite the camps saying they have a 50-50 deal -- and 60-40 to the winner if it's a knockout -- do the math. Hopkins' side is supposed to get the first $3.5 million after the expenses are paid. Jones' side would get the next $3.5 million with the rest being split evenly. The problem? The fight might not generate even a first $3.5 million.


That's ****ed up.

i don't care. its a bull**** fight anyways.

im sure roy will get something. even if he doesnt, i think roy is secure money wise. I once heard Roy say if wanted to he could live off his farm...

He got like 4 million to visit and enjoy Australia and get stopped in 1 round. **** is getting evened out.

That 50-50/60-40 if there's a KO split is the same one they had going before the Green fight. I seriously doubt Hopkins would accept that deal after the knockout.

They would have to sell at least 200K for Roy to get around 3.5. Roy is rich, so who gives a **** though.
