    Skip Tarver-Jones on PPV

    MY TARVER-JONES III THREE-CENTS!

    Since ESPN announced the signing of the Antonio Tarver-Roy Jones rubbermatch (airing exclusively on HBO Pay-Per-View), the ruminations of rubbernecking fans has reached a crescendo of equal parts anticipation and morbid curiosity. Having witnessed Jones lying prone at the feet of both Tarver and Glenn Johnson (for some five minutes), it would seem foolish to ever step in the ring again; yet even with that danger the intrigue of whether Roy has one more moment of greatness, one more moment of athletic magic is unavoidable. With that in mind, I ask with all my heart of all real fight fans who are forced more and more to choose which fights to purchase...skip this one!

    That's nice, but Castillo - Coralles II is not going to be as good as the first. Coralles will NOT war with Castillo again. If I have cable or satellite by then, my money will go to my favorite fighter, Roy Jones Jr.

        I'm ordering it if I can't make the trip. Of all the bad PPV's out there to boycott...Johnnie, you backed the wrong horse!

          Isn't it possible to watch it via the net for free on some dodgy site?

            I do admitedly want to watch it,just to see what happens to Jones,but there is absolutely NO reason this fight should be PPV, especially when one of the fighters is coming off of 2 consecutive KO's, wtf kind of **** is that? I know its Roy Jones and all,but come on...

                I'll watch both; it's a write off. But for hard working fans who spend their $, I think the choice is clear

                  No way would I pay $50 for Jones-Tarver, especially with Castillo-Corrales 2 the very next week.
