Prime jones didnt want none if the welsh dragon!!!!

Yeah, the money was real good. So much so that the biggest fight they could offer him was a million less than what he got for taking a piss. But you're right, one network is as good as another. Which is why Calzaghe stayed away from both.

How much do you think Roy was making? you talk like his purses were huge when they wernt.

You said yourself he got $4m in his next bout. Jones had a $2m guarantee on HBO and routinely made $3-4m. He was also paid more for his PPV's, ranging from $5m to the $14m he made against Ruiz.

$4m is not $5m

Yes, the response to daggum's which post. He's got the excuse wrong but you agree with his premise. I'll take it.

Blah blah excuse blah blah premise.

What are you even talking about?

Zzzzzzzzzz

Yes, I can count. Luckily, Jones wasn't as near-sighted as you were.

It just bothers me Roy ducked the fight to fight for less money.

[Khmelnytsky]

He had all three of them.

How so, Dirk?

Do you understand what paper title means?

Michalczewski won WBO, IBF, WBA titles along with the lineal status when he beat Hill. He was stripped of all of them aside from the WBO due to bogus politics. One of the titles was stripped because he 'refused' to defend one of his titles within 30 days from his previous fight. lol

Rocchigiani sued the WBC for stripping his title and simply handing it back to Roy. He was awarded 30 million dollars and it almost completely bankrupt the WBC.

I thought you understood. I should've known better.

[Mr. Invincible]

I dont think he avoided Calzaghe or that Calzaghe avoided him. Just wasnt viable. Jones did talk about moving down to 168 but he chose HW instead - understandable.

But its just really funny to hear people say "Calzaghe was nobody" and then have a glance at Roy's resume at the time.

You get me?

STFU you sorry lying b*stard, you say Roy avoided everyone under the sun who he could have possibly fought. Funniest crap out of your fingers ever. You make me laugh actually.

What a hypocrit.

I have always given credit to Calzaghe for what he did manage to do before retiring, but I can't give him credit for the fights that he didn't make when they counted. (Jones, Collins, Hopkins)
