    Jones has never given a **** about the promotion of any of his shows. The guy always no-showed pressers, skipped media day events, arrived to pressers late, etc.

          The fight is not 50 bucks. It is $29.95.

          Anyway, who cares if Roy doesn't show up for press events? As a fan all I care aboutis him training hard and winning the fight. If he doesn't show up to pressers, that's only going to possibly hurt HIS revinue.

          Not hurting me though.

            $30 or $50 or $2....

            This fight does not deserve to be PPV.
            This is more of what is pissing the **** out of me.

              first of all if roy does not need the money. he has 88 acers of land. also if he was in it for the money he would not be having the fight in idaho. if he was in it for the money he would have persued a fight with JC more than anything bc thats more money than prince. or he would go after someone with atleast alittle name. i agree it shouldnt be PPV fight but ohwell we cant control that. but when he wins and gets a better fight rest a sure that he will be getting a better fight in LV FL maybe even AC. but where ever he is going to be i think we will see the old Roy Jones JR.

                i agreed with your post until i read the last sentence. man if roy beats this guy convincingly, then he wouldn't have another fight until 2007 most likely, and he'll turn 38 in january. time is running out and FAST, i don't even have to mention his last three fights because that card has been beaten to death.

                  Jones drew in good size crowds to his fights but his ppv numbers were never that good.

                    Agreed.

                    I doubt he can pull his showboating **** any longer without being caught.

                    He should get out of boxing and go try making ****ty rap or go to the WWE.

                    Just leave boxing, don't even be a commentator.
