    Thought he was fighting Toney???


    Cant understand how its legal for someone not to get paid,, I understand having a huge bonus to the winner, but for the loser not to get anything, I dont think that would be legal in the US, obviously it is in Russia..

    Roy better win this,, would look so embarrassing to get ko'd by a nobody and not get a single dime for it...

      You can't not pay someone if it's in the contract for them to get paid, and they rendered their services correctly.

      But if you sign a contract saying you forfeit your earnings if you lose the bout, there's nothing illegal about it.

        Have you ever seen an arrangement like this before? I haven't, and was wondering what other fights have been like this?

              Roy must be really confident that he's going to win or really desperate to bank as much money as possible. It's sad a way passed his prime RJJ has resorted to taking fights overseas in order to pay off his debts. Hope the Silva fight happens and he makes enough money to finally retire.

                    Ok, i looked up Benmakhlouf and he has never fought outside of france, loses everytime he steps up, his last 3 wins-the best record of an opponent was 5-5, biggest name on his resume would be probably carlos takam who in his pro debut beat a 6-0 benmaklouf..

                    I have no idea how roy found this guy, they must have scoured the earth looking for this dude, its not like france is a hotbed of boxing....

                    SMH roy,, you better win and get paid
