This is from ESPN Promoter Don King has been busy. Besides promoting Saturday's Chad Dawson-Epifanio Mendoza light heavyweight title card and saving his Oct. 6 card by putting Jameel McCline into the main event to challenge interim heavyweight titlist Samuel Peter, King also found time while in New York this week to close two important deals related to the Jan. 19 Roy Jones-Felix Trinidad blockbuster. In addition to announcing that Madison Square Garden -- Trinidad's home away from home -- will play host to the fight, King told ESPN.com that he also finalized a deal with HBO PPV to produce and distribute the event. King also had been talking to Showtime. "We did three weeks of negotiations in three days and reached agreement," HBO PPV's Mark Taffet told ESPN.com. "I haven't seen Don this energized and motivated for years." The fight will mark Jones' return to HBO after a falling out following his October 2005 loss to Antonio Tarver. Jones was fired as an analyst and HBO wasn't involved in his last two bouts.
Yeah, that one'd be interesting. You could see Jones and Trinidad out with their walkers, slowly walking through the park.
Agreed. I don't even know if "unbearable" is a strong enough word. Perhaps agonizing or insufferable would be more suitable.
I'm in agreement I don't want this fight to happen. If both of these cats are gonna continue to fight they have bigge fish to fry. Jones got shit at 175 he needs to take care of and Tito should be looking to fight guys at 168. By the way Tito gets smoked in this fight. I'll Holla 5000
thats great news hbo is involved with this one! i just hope they do a 24/7 show, that would be great and like one other guy mentioned will def help the ppv numbers!
