      People would still buy it IMO...Roy is popular, any casual boxing fan knows him, and its nearly the end of his career so people would want to see his last fights

            A few of his most loyal fans will buy, but you're looking at 20k buys at best, IMO. HBO has the vastly superior show with a nice touch of star power in Taylor. If the Jones PPV was on an otherwise fight-free weekend, it may have done 30-40k.

                Roy Jones Jr is a legend at least let him get some payday at his end of the days he is boxing.

                or they could make it more intersting and public stunt where Taylor-Ouma delcine the main event and give it to roy jones but the promble is Jones is not fighting someone who is know to the publics eye.

                  Manny Siaca, eh? And some people have the nerve to say Roy never fought nobody. Y'all must've forgot.

                    jones seems to be taking more and more steps backwards. he ought to hang them up and call it a career while he has that last fight as a win.

                    and who the hell is going to buy that PPV, you would have to have the IQ of a carrot to buy that crap!
