Thanks. That sucks. I just hope Roy made side money from endorsements, etc.

By the money made from the PPV which will be about 7 million and with GB promoting expenses and B-hop getting 3.5 million, Roy probably only got about 1.5-2 mil. Thats not bad for a normal fighter, but this is Roy, who is used to fighting for 8-12 million in his prime.

I'm suprised it did that well. I would rather two journeyman in the prime swap leather than two legends that should have retired and are living off their legendry names. Plus how often does a fighter get knocked out in the first round and get a ppv main event in his next outing?
