    I think he has a point, at the end of the day people know Roy Jones and to an extent he himself is a name brand. People pay for name brands, and in light of the Tito numbers, anyone who wants a payday needs to fight Roy. Legacy -wise it does nothing, financially speaking he is still king in the 168-175 divisions.

    Even though he has a point which one of these guy get the oppurtunity of the big pay day ..Funny but if Claghe does end up beating Hopkins i'nm sure we will get a Jones Calzaghe PPV .

    Free tv is a good thing.

    Jones is done, if he starts beating real contenders THEn and only then should we take his claims seriosly. Tyson - Holyfield 3 would be PPV it doesnt make it a credible match...

    Winky Wright's fight with Tito did about the same amount of PPV's as Tito-Jones. Does that maky Wright a draw too? Hey, come to think about it, Wink did make some comments the other day about him being above fights with guys like Abraham and Kessler. Seems like even though Tito hasn't been scrambling anybody's brain recently, fighting him still does something really bad to a fighters' senses.

    Jones-Tarver all 3 pulled in great numbers.

    On top of that Jones did 600k+ against Ruiz.
