Roy Jones - In the ring interview, just prior to the Brannon fight.

Do you find the video interesting? I wonder how much these fighters were offered to fight Roy? It sounded like Liles got offered a pretty sweet deal.

 

Hmmmm.... Roy says that Nardiello, Liles, Collins, Benn, Hopkins was all offered 7-figured paydays but they all turned him down.

Wauw! Incredible.... Hard to believe. There must have been a catch.

 

So you think it was all staged by HBO?

 

Roy Jones was the finest pound for pound fighter ive seen in my years sine watching the sport, his talent was outstanding and he was also exciting to watch, he had it all.

Unfortunatly for a lot of younger fans they will think of him as being the guy who got ko'd or beat easily in recent years well past his peak.

He was up there with the greats from any era at one point, and history will remember that.

 

Not at all. We just only hear one side of the story. One side who is a big part in it and one with a heavy interest. Such accounts cannot stand alone when looking for the truth.

It does seem odd that those fighters allegedly just turned down big offers. Why would they do that? Was there options attached? Are the numbers offered correct? Etc.

 

RJJ singing and dancing before the Clinton Woods fight was even better.

What a spectactical interview.

 

bryant never fought again after this, off the top of my head if i remember rightly?

 

the catch was they were facing a guy who at the time was invincible

 

So no options? No stipulations? No returnclauses?

Source please.

I'm sure Loudon has some sources when you fail to produce any....

 

Hmmmm. The difference in RJJs speech clarity between then and now is larger than I thought.

 

roy, was the guy in a ko magazine issue may 1993, that said this! I, will not sign for king, or fight too long past my prime! What the **** is the clown doing then? going against his beliefs. he had some advisers called the levein brothers around him, who he dismissed what a *******!

 

Yeah, IB is a good poster. Bailey will try and spin his way out of any situation.

 

I used to have this interview and the Brannon fight on VHS, but I don't remember him saying that about James.
