What is the exact reason for Roy Jones' fighting abroad circuit?

[j.one]

This is disgraceful. I love Roy Jones but I refuse to watch him fight anymore, I don't care what the reason is he should not be fighting anymore.

Now he is fighting in Latvia? Is this just what's available for a washed up former great, since there are no offers in the States? I know most would cite money as the primary reason but I'm thinking it's just Roy living in his own bizzaro world, where he gets to relive and pretend it's the 90's by beating up on a overmatched opponent by throwing 5 punches per round. It's good therapy.


What say you?

Did you ever see the movie Eurotrip? When they're in Bratislava and they meet the guy that is really into America and he says "We just get Miami Wice on television. Miami Wice is number one new show."

Maybe they're just now getting old Roy Jones Jr fights and he's looking to capitalize

I still believe he needs the money, he already knows his legacy is secured so he is just now having fun with his boxing (Win or lose).

Just saw the "fight"... not much fighting going on... Jones is either pretending or he's lost a LOT of speed... he also clearly doesn't care at all about his conditioning... He has good genetics, he could easily, at least, look presentable... It's just an easy quick pay check that some idiots in bum **** Europe are willing to sign... No way he wins a CW title unless he seriously steps up his conditioning... I don't think he's serious about boxing anymore though, at this point... these are just little stay active fights so he doesn't feel like an old man...
