So it's official, RJJ fought Hopkins for FREE

[Sweet Jesus]

• Golden Boy's Schaefer told ESPN.com that the final pay-per-view total for the April 3 Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones rematch will fall "between 135,000 and 145,000 when everything is said and done." If that's the case, Jones, who was to be paid after expenses were covered and Hopkins received the first $3.5 million of profit, won't make a penny for his trouble in the lopsided decision loss. Hopkins will make money but nowhere close to $3.5 million.

These two morons deserve this. They could have fought each other before Roy lost to Green and would have made good money...the both of them. But they were pig headed and greedy. Roy made 3 million off the green fight but it completely killed the hopkins fight for him. Simply put: the just waited too long and it cost them.

140,000 PPV buys X $50 each is 7,000,000. Plus at gate.

I don't know how that **** is all divided up but that's the mathematics of what it generated.

the way it adds up is that the distributors usually get half the revenue and then the fighters split the other half minus the percentages that each fighter pays his promoter.
