    Was JC drawing big crowds back then? That's what I thought.
    Roy has never drawn big crowds in comparison to Joe, ever.


    Looks like another Joe win over Roy.

    Tough ****, deal with it.

      Answer this please: What was Joe Calzaghe's status at the time Roy was supposed to have pursued a fight with him?
      Champion.

       When and why was Joe supposed to call out Roy if they were never in the same division?

        Oh sorry.... Jones' had all the TWO, then THREE major belts they would have been fighting for, and Calzaghe held the WBO (which wasnt worth much back then, but again... you wouldnt know... either you have a short memory or you started watching boxing saturday night).

        Can you count and weight?

          Revenue = TV rights + Box Office

          TV rights = number of viewers * PPV price

          Box Office = tickets sold * tickets price

          Who generated the higher revenue? Please explain...

            the jones u saw was only a shell. did u see how slow he looked. watch his fights in the mid to late 90s...
            .
            sure joe beat an old jones but so did johnson and tarver and thats whats on record but danny williams also beat tyson and so did mcbride. leon spinks beat an aging ali. you get the point.

            what i do think is if prime jones put calzgahe down in round 1 like the old jones did, calzgahe wouldnt have made it out of the round

              Is the WBO not a major belt worn by many great fighters from Hearns, to Corrales, Barrera, Carbajal, etc etc?


              Roy had the power, was the shotcaller, and the name recognition.

              He never sought out a Joe fight.

              Why is all the blame on Joe?

                What? I have never blamed Joe for not going after Roy. You are the one saying both should have gone after the fight.

                You are implying that blame should be attached to Roy for not going after Joe ten years ago. I ask you why he should have - you say champion. LMFAO - Joe held one belt at 168 and his best win at the time was over a shot to **** Eubank and all of a sudden Roy Jones Jr, the unified LHW champion of the world and p4p #1 fighter in the sport should be going after him?

                Wow, just wow. How strong can your hate possibly be bro?

                  I'm not an accountant for either.


                  What is the largest crowd Roy has ever drawn live?

                    I dunno, but it doesnt mean much. Fighters are paid by revenues, not headcount.

                      I never said Roy should have went to Joe,

                      However I did say this.



                      Blame goes to both guys equally.


                      No matter what it is, you Jones boys come up with excuses out of the ****ing wazoo for your guy.


                      "Joe wouldn't beat him in his prime"
                      "Joe never wanted a fight"
                      "I'd suck Roys ****"
                      "Joe slaps"
                      "I'd let Roy teabag me".


                      Pretty ****ing stannish.


                      If it was a problem, why did Roy even take the fight in 2008?
