    Why would he do that? reports have said jones made nothing or very little from the fight and that bernard took his 3.5 million first and left jones with nothing from that fight. sad thing is Jones was on his feet all night and actually worked for the money without asking for breaks and crying. The hate he gets for that fight is absurd, he is getting hit low butted his eye is opned up and he never goes down Hopkins was laying around like he was praying for a dq or a way out instead of fighting.

              $30M+ Wow.

              At least one boxer knows how to manage his money. Nice to see.

                  Those 35 Mill will last him his whole life. He was never known to be all flashy or whatever like Mayweather. Not to mention he invests in good young fighters for his promotional company. Like that undefeated Ukrainian kid.
