One report suggests Warren was holding back some of the money from the Hopkins fight while trying to negotiate a new deal which pissed off Joe....
I'm dying to see this fight go down but something tells me Frank Warren will throw a wrench in the negotiations, as he's never liked Roy and would...
This will be a huge event if promoted correctly...can't wait. Hear from someone in Pcola that Roy's in UK working on the deal.
It was a good staredown....Hopkins nosed aggressively and Joe gave it right back. Doesn't necessarily mean anything but I think it will be a good...
Jones isn't going to fight in Germany...he's looking for an interim fight (possibly late spring) in hopes of a big late fall/early winter HBO PPV...
While interviewed he pointed to a tendon strain/tear in his left bicep (you could see the bump)...happened in training few weeks ago.

One would think that Roy should've had the option to get his customized too though.....wonder why wasn't he allowed? Anyone know the...
What do you make of the gloves issue Cupey?
Apparently they're still arguing over the gloves issue: 1) Roy wants Grant gloves but King's not budging (they're sticking to Everlast) 2)...
If Jones' team were unaware that Tito's gloves were going to be customized, then they have a legitimate complaint.
I assume Jones' camp are voicing concerns about customizing(tampering)?
What's the business about Roy's camp being outraged over Tito's customized blue gloves? I'd love to know what's going on at the moment.
So what is the final say on the gloves issue?
I'd be surpised if Roy only agreed to take a third of the pot unless perhaps he's getting an unusually bigger chunk of PPV upside.
Anyone know the official purse guarantees for this fight? (not including PPV upside).
It appears that all of the $15,000 ringside seats have been sold.
He never had a jab or he chose not to use it? Did you see him in the amateurs and olympics? His shots were all over the place? You mean...
Again, how many 35 yr old great "boxers" have gotten beat? What do you mean that Roy wasn't a boxer? Please define boxer.
The above assertion of Roy seems to be popular since '04 however let's keep some perspective: Roy fell off at age 35, which equated to 15 years...
The "ease" at which he did it was remarkable.
If you've ever met Roy in person, you'll agree that him fighting all the way up to heavyweight was remarkable.
Jones began his career at 154 and has moved up to heavyweight(and still outweighed by 30 lbs). Mayweather began his career at 130 and has moved...
Was PM'ing a writer over at Doghouse and he told me that a member within Roy's own camp is greatly concerned over Roy having to make 170. He also...
That pic was taken slightly after the fight was announced.
The exchange at 1:25 of round 1 was interesting.....Hatton stunned Floyd with a solid(if not clean) right and then left hook which sent him...
From Thomas Hauser's recent article on SecondsOut: "By way of example; the network poured a $3,000,000 license fee plus another seven figures...
You're completely missing my point Double... One CANNOT draw inference on what Roy couldle or could not handle from that fight in...
