Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Angered Over Delay in Mike Tyson Fight, Threatens Withdrawal

[NC Uppercut]

Exactly. Roy doesn’t have sh—t else going on. Unless he was offered a commentator gig somewhere

BX that is a good point, especially with Paulie getting the boot. Abner Mares isnt cutting it as a color commentator nor analyst, plus HBO might come back afterPeter Nelson is gone. I know it's wishful thinking.

Hot damn! Roy could use that payday right about now. HBO boxing has gone out of business and he can't find work outside of boxing. So he is broke as shit!

Mike Tyson is donating all his money, but not RJ i think he said hes keeping all of it

Not that it really matters but i’m pretty sure he will donate the profits, meaning after he’s been paid, his trainer is paid, chef, nutritionist, promoter etc etc. I don’t mind a dude making money and I don’t mind them saying they will give a portion to charity, infact it’s exemplary. However when fighters / celebs deliberately use misleading phrases, which ultimately results in posts like this – well that’s a bit ****ty as far as i’m concerned

Hard to argue those points as an earner, let's all be honest

[Boxing Goat]

Just for all of your info, the fight is being delayed to maximize profits. Why is that not obvious? SO if the profits are larger, shouldn't the fighters purses be larger? I mean, we all know Mike is the A side here and is getting a larger cut.

Jones believes that he should be compensated for the delay

shiiiit i agree

[Combat Talk Radio]

replace Roy with Briggs

Like I've been saying. Briggs would be all in AND a better showing overall.

shiiiit i agree

I think it's pretty obvious

If you took a vacation from your day job to finish a project and the project get's postponed, you still expect to get paid for that time. Simple as that. There's no difference even if the money is much larger with fighters. People are looking at this from a fan perspective, not a money earner in the real world.

Waaaaay too dangerous of a fight for Mike

Briggs, right now off the bench is better than the bum who KO'd active Mike Tyson 15 years ago ffs

Roy is working on another rap record. Yall musta forgot
