    Heard the gate only brought in $1,198,000

    Jones wont see a single cent if there isnt about atleast 125,000 buys

    and wont get to see his full purse unless it hits about 275,000 buys

    Roy should've never done business with this dude, he only wanted to fight when Roy when he knew was a corpse, now Roy isn't even gonna get paid, and he is the one who sold the fight, this was just waste of time, he would've been better off doing nothing.

    Hopkins is a real scumbag and general POS, taking rest breaks and trying to get RJJ DQ'd so he could get a bigger split of the purse, I usually hate seeing older fighters get beat up but he is the exception, I'm gonna enjoy seeing him get beat down in the future.

    Worked the opposite way with me.

    Made me laugh really hard, from the pre-fight publicity, to the fight itself and the result and post fight tirades from all corners.

    Who the hell were the 150,000? Any boxing fan could see tha the whole fight was a debacle. It was a shameless attempt to exploit helpless addiction of boxing fanatics across the world.

    The Ring has a note on the PPV-numbers for the Popkins-Bones fight in the article titled "Notebook: Mosley ignores Mayweather's comments, trainer doesn't" on their website.

    "Hopkins-Jones Jr. PPV: Schaefer said the pay-per-view tally for the Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones Jr. fight on April 3 is at about 130,000 but is expected to approach 150,000 after all the figures are in.

    Golden Boy set 300,000 as its goal. However, some experts wondered whether it would exceed 100,000, which Schaefer said was overly pessimistic.

    “They ARE two big names,” he said."


    ^ for knuckleheads out there that are too lazy to look it up :D
