Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Angered Over Delay in Mike Tyson Fight, Threatens Withdrawal

[Bandman]

I think it's pretty obvious

If you took a vacation from your day job to finish a project and the project get's postponed, you still expect to get paid for that time. Simple as that. There's no difference even if the money is much larger with fighters. People are looking at this from a fan perspective, not a money earner in the real world.

nobody cares if Roy is in this fight. the real attraction is Tyson. they can replace him with Briggs and not miss a beat. or better yet Holyfield

This thing is going to end up getting Canceled

Your talking to Roy on a regular basis right? The fuc*k do you know what else Roy has going on? He's a HOF'er. He could be lending his name to all kinds of projects. You, on the other hand, definitely aren't doing fuc*k all.

Yea we talk all the time about how I'm so busy keeping my finger warm up your mother's ass

No it fuc*king isn't. Briggs is as shot as Mike. There's a reason why he hasn't fought a live body in years. He gasses after 2 rounds just like Mike will. You're as deluded as the fans who think Mike is "Iron Mike" from 25 years ago. GTFOH with your nonsense.

Mike got knocked out by a complete bum 15 years ago and he's 54 y/o!

Briggs is 48, won a world title since Tyson has been retired and hasn't lost since 2010!

Do you see how ****** you sound, now?

Briggs would obliterate this version of Tyson so stfu

[Boxing Goat]

I'm a fan of both, but what makes you think Mike is the A side?

Is this a serious question?

[Boxing Goat]

To those who think Roy is out of line, consider if you have a business and get a lucrative one-time job offer. You put your business on hold and invest time and money preparing for this big money-making event. Now imagine 3.5 weeks before you are to report to work, they call to tell you that your start date has been pushed back 2.5 months.

Totally agree with this

Mike is the A side but don't fool yourself into thinking that Briggs brings more viewers that Rjjr

Holyfield, I can agree with due to their history, obviously.

Mike didn't postpone the fight, the promoters did.

That said, both guys will benefit 'physically' from a postponement.

Not necessarily in terms of who has the better chance of winning. But in terms of draw power, I think they're pretty close to even.
