    Not Russians, but Russian promoter Hrunov (he is one shady guy). Ryabinskiy (who is now the promoter of all top Russian fighters) isn't involved in it.

        He said Roy is only fighting for money, not for the love of boxing. I used Hopkins as an example to show that fighting for the love of fighting actually is plausible.
        Speaking of getting the context right, who is "he"? I was the one who said it, not "he".

          I wasn't sure of the whole situation so that's why I said what I said. But IMO no promoter has the best interest for fighters. All they see is $$$ and is all they care about.

            I appreciate that Enzo wasn't jumping around the ring and celebrating the victory. He took a knee in the corner and prayed for Jones. Classy move by Enzo.

                You people are sad. Reading these comments says it all. You folks don't respect boxers at all. Get well Roy. And thank you for your dedication to your craft.

                    What life style tho, just because a celebrity groans about being broke just means they cant live the way they wish to. Roy needs to find that balance then and stop living like hes in the 90s yet.

                      True on both ends. Roy had a great career? Yes. Still whatever he fights for, enjoyment, money, fame. Guy has to understand how far he can step. Hes 46 and has been koed brutally a few times. What did he think was gonna happen? What do you people think was gonna happen? He wasnt going to make a James Braddock run and shock the world. Could you imagine if he had a rematch with Lebedev? There still has to be a reality check.
