    Damn that pisses me off! They could've fought... why did they have to do some old bull**** afterwards. They let their egos get out of control and ruined it. Why couldn't they bring that type of mindset into their negotiations later!!?!?? Yes Roy should've got 60/40, but the mofo could've went down to 55% or even 50%... damn man lol.

    Never understood why Jones fans always show this video, all it does is show why Jones Jr was so hard to negotiate with.

    It's basically Roy screaming "No I won't pay you what you want to fight me, you'll take less and taking a beating on top of it." Not exactly great negotiating skills.

    It would be like me going into a store asking to pay for the reduced item I have picked up and the cashier screaming at me "No you won't pay the reduced price that was advertised, that you want but the full price and you'll let me punch you in the face on top of it!" I wouldn't want that item on those terms and would of course walk away just like Hopkins did.
