Comments Thread For: Hryunov To Meet Dana White on Roy Jones-Anderson Silva

[Boxing Goat]

Imagine if Jones lost in boxing, would be the biggest embarrassment in the sports history. Don't do it Jones you ****, hang your gloves up.

Everyone knows it wouldn't mean ****, Jones is now the ghost of a shot version of himself. Even if Silva wins, it don't mean he could even last a round with prime Jones so who cares? Let them both get paid and do what they want you disrespectful douche nozzle.

This would be Jones' first KO in about a decade, and Jones cannot put his punches together anymore. He is as shot as Castillo, Morales and Botha

Did you not watch the fight from saturday? Putting his punches together are not the problem bud. Timing, reflexes, stamina and chin are what keeps the current Jones from being relevant. He still has faster hands than 95% of the fighters today and can still throw sharp, hard shots. That's apparent.

Don't ANYONE kid themselves into thinking Silva has a snowballs chance in hell of beating Jones in a Boxing match. That is his wheelhouse just like Silva's is UFC.

Not in the US but in Russia, it would be a huge event! Jones needs to only do boxing though.

agree.

a 60 year old jones would still beat silva in a boxing match. the longer it goes, the better. world class boxers can slow the pace, get into a rhythm, and pick any mma guy apart.

silva has also slowed down considerably since this fight. he moves well on his toes, but look how quickly he has to get off of his toes. boxing is just a totally different animal.

jones doesn't need that money. silva himself usually makes less than a million per fight. under 300 k for sonnen. 600k for wideman. get this: wideman made 50 grand, and that included a 25K bonus to win. his garantee was 25 grand.

jones' HBO commentary gets him more than 99.9something percent of all MMA fighters will earn in a year.


he doesn't need that money. MMA fighters are paid like sh#t.

Yeah that's why Jones and Toney been chasing Dana White around so that they get paid sh#t too....

[mikinoki]

I doubt Dana White will meet with this dude.He didn't copromote with m-1 to make the Fedor fight happen and he will with this fool...

your use of english sucks, so i'm really not even sure what you're trying to say.

james toney very obviously needs money. his financial problems are well documented. roy jones does not. his financial success is well documented. he also makes six figures working for HBO.

the UFC does not pay well. here's a breakdown of the purses of silva - wideman. 1.6 million in total purses. the undercard of mayweather's last ppv paid much more than that.

wideman got a 25 thousand dollar guarantee, and another 25K if he won. that's f#cking peanuts. james toney was the highest paid fighter on the card when he fought in the UFC, and he only made 500K. that's peanuts compared to what he made in boxing.
