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

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.

replace Roy with Briggs

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

Jones believes that he should be compensated for the delay

shiiiit i agree

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.

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

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

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!

[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.

Reading comprehension issue?

“But, last week it was announced that the organizers were pushing it back to November 28, in order to increase their potential in generating a significant pay-per-view buyrate figure.“

I’d also wager the “pot smoking mid 50s old dude” would KO you so hard when you woke up your clothes would be out of style.

Another mike tyson asskissing fantisist. I would twist mike tyson up like a pretzel and would tear off the first limb i could get a handle on. Mike tyson is a overrated overhyped drug addled noob who was knocked out by buster douglas, danny williams and kevin mcbride and lost to every good fighter hes faced hes a emotional wreck and h0m0s like you cant accept that fact. Get lost
