| Golden Boy's Schaefer told ESPN.com that the final pay-per-view total for the April 3 Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones rematch will fall "between 135,000 and 145,000 when everything is said and done." If that's the case, Jones, who was to be paid after expenses were covered and Hopkins received the first $3.5 million of profit, won't make a penny for his trouble in the lopsided decision loss. Hopkins will make money but nowhere close to $3.5 million. http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/notebook/_/id/5127500/cris-arreola-tomasz-adamek-make-historyI hope Aldo vs Faber does double. |

Roy was a tool to rely on pay per view buys. |

| The fight came 10 years too late and the people let them know that.
I saw the fight, but sure as hell didn't pay for it. I walked away feeling as if I should have been paid for watching it. | |

| Yeah it was terrible matchup with little to no 1 giving Roy a chance at winning and they still wanted 50 bucks! Recipe for disaster in my book. | |
