    Ten of millions? I think that's a bunch of BS. His albums clearly weren't a success, but to suggest that he personally lost even a few million is crazy.

    Ring mag, by the way, has slowly been turning into a shitty magazine. I like Oscar De La Hoya, but even I can't defend an active fighter and promoter owning a magazine that formulates rankings.

    I just got my episode and had to work all weekend, but I did see a big feature about Jones and Trinidad. I will get back to ya real soon on that.

    It is the one with Floyd on the cover. It says "PBF: Dancing with Disaster??":lol: .

    Nutty ****.

    OK Illmatic, just read it all and not one mention of Roy's rap career. One thing I personally found very interesting was it said they doubt HBO will have anything to do with this fight (although the possibility is mentioned) because of still lingering hard feelings over the firing of Jones from his commentator job. Can someone please explain more about this "firing" of Jones??

    If he did lose this much money I doubt that it was from his own album. It might be possible that he tried to promote other shitty artists and lost money in production and promotion on them. I doubt that he lost that much or that it is the reason that he is fighting.

    he didnt just drop one album, he dropped his cd, bodyhead bangers, and he signed other artists from other labels, like Chopper and Magic who were on No Limit.
    plus, producing music videos...he mightve lost a lot
