    This would make Roy look special once more...

    he should take it regardless of the money they give

    Maybe some of the more famous boxers considered to be 'on the slide' will become willing to take the risk of entering a Prizefighter after seeing what it did to Audley's career.

    How many with tickets would have actually have heard of him? Are "Prizefighter" fans normally at Boxig shows?

    He should stick to commentating, he's pretty good on HBO

    I bet he's not actually made THAT much money compared to lots of other fighters.

    It's not as if he was in many megafights, was it?

    I'd imagine his biggest payday was the Calzaghe fight, when he got a 50-50 split.

    I would hate to see Roy in Prizefighter if it was because he has hit on such hard times that he needs to scrub around for 32k (which I can't believe simply because he would get more making personal appearances and commentating), but if he wanted to take part because of his love for the sport, I'm all for it. It would be a massive thrill for the fans and how many of the opponents would relish the chance to share the ring with an ATG?

    sadly i'd like to see it because i would want the prizefighter format to be more accepted at an elite/name level.

    The longer Roy fights, the more chance it is his story is going to end in tragedy.

    Hang 'em up, Roy. There's absolutely no point anymore.

    Agreed.

    One of the greatest talents to ever grace the ring, now looking like a tragedy waiting to happen.

    What a great novelty event that would be.

    British Fans seeing up close and personal a all time great.

    A fighter so talented in his prime - Floyd Mayweather wasnt even fit to carry his jockstrap.

    Come to York Hall please Roy !!!!!! :happy
