          How do you know he's in it for the money? The dude is rich enough! He has a basketball court in his mansion.

              Idahoans should be happy a sporting event is going to be in their state. Don't they have like one college bowl game once a year - and that's it for major sporting events?

                  Roy is still a decent draw. But for heaven's sake, they put the damn fight in Idaho. Give me a break. There's nothing in Idaho. Now if they put the fight in Miami, Tampa, Orlando or Pensacola then it's close to sold out by now.

                  Also, to say Roy is in it for the money doesn't take into account that he probably is making much less for this fight than he is used to, and also that he already has plenty of money.
