Hopkins Jones to be shown in Graveyards!

Las Vegas City Herald – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE! Golden Boy Promotions’ Richard Scheafer confirmed that additionally to movie theaters, the long awaited rematch between Bernard Hopkins, 45, and Roy Jones Jr., 41, will be shown in selected graveyards across the United States.

“Golden Boy is always looking for new markets, and since the summed age of these two great legends of the ring is 86 years and the average age of death is 77.9 years, it’s only fair to give those the opportunity to see this rematch who couldn’t wait the whole 17 years in the making.” - said Scheafer.

“Bernard Hopkins, who I’m glad to call my very good friend, gave Roy Jones his toughest fight of his young career back in 1993.” Scheafer continued. “I remember the day, because it was the weekend of the annual cow milking festivity in my little village in Switzerland, and it was the first fight I really got involved with emotionally. We had such a good time that we only heard the news the next Monday that the Soviet Union had collapsed. It was then when I decided if I’m going to be a successful banker one day, I’ll invest all my money in this beautiful sport of boxing.”

In the past few years, Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions emerged from a small company to one of the biggest firms in professional sports today with much help of Richard Scheafer, who did become a successful banker and did make the dream career switch, partnering with the Golden Boy. Ring Magazine’s Michael Rosebud also praises the company and promises to take Golden Boy fighters with extra care in their ratings.

“I like the support we get from Ring Magazine, which is part of boxing history.” - added Scheafer. “You can’t buy history for money, but you can make history, and I believe that’s what we are doing with Hopkins-Jones II, as we are opening for yet another uncharted market territory. There great young old men deserve all the support they can get, and we are digging deep to get as much success as possible.”
