Jones: "Hopkins Has Been Scared For Years - He Wants Me Now That He Thinks I'm Done"

"60-40 and Ill kick your ass":deal

 

I agree with the statement except that B-Hop is right and Jones really is done.

 

you are done roy, very done ! this fight = FAIL !

 

In 02 Jones was the Far far bigger draw, bigger name, was way more established and had already beat Hopkins with 1 hand. 40% was more than fair. He took far less to fight ODLH, Tito and others BUT when RJJ who usaully like ODLH takes 75 % of the purse offered him 40% Hopkins priced himself out like a *****.

 

i think it's sad as i think that's actually going to happen. i fear for roy jones now.

 

They should name this **** "No Money for Old Men".

This fight is gonna be a dud.

 

their names alone will probably get them money. some casual fans will be interested, and those are the fans that generate the most money.

 

I like Roy but that was funny as hell

 

I don't think Hopkins really wanted to fight Roy back then. Imagine what beating Roy back then would have done for his legacy. He said he could have beat him, taking the 40% would have made him more money than his next few fights combined, also he would have totally cemented his legacy if he could have won, Prime Trinidad, then moving up to take a near Prime Jones, Hopkins had everything to gain, but turned it down.

 

He said 60 to the winner and 40 to the loser. Thats what he meant. He told B-hop if he was so sure of winning than why wouldn't he just say yes.

Like I said earlier he took far smaller % of money to make it work with everyone else but Jones offers him a generous 40% when Hopkins was just starting to get noticed and he turns it down.

 

Exactly.

Roy would have kicked Hopkins' ass again back then.... He wasn't the corpse Hopkins is about to fight. Hopkins knows this I think.

 

beat him with one hand talk about over the top LOL

 

Hopkins was dead serious when he said that :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

i genuinely think jones will beat hopkins in this fight.

i also think you could bring calzaghe out of retirement and he would beat them both on the same night with one arm tied behind his back, with joe cortez refereeing.
