Jones has a scheduled fight (waiting for approval) against 39/1 Dawid Kostecki from Poland. This guy according to boxrec fought only once outside of Europe and only a few times (4 fights) outside of Poland. I have never heard of the guy - naturally.

I think this might be the end of Jones's career if he loses, although his ego will probably tell him otherwise.

Anyways, did anyone even notice this ? I feel so bad for Roy. Once a P4P, now...nobody.

I had no idea that he was supposed to be fighting Yeah, he should definitely retire.
As far as financial issues, I don't know.
Excuse me if this was already said. He's still with HBO, making what has to be at least $300k to $500k a year for that (if you aren't Roy, then your manager sucks). That's probably a drop in the bucket though if his expenses are still up there.
If I'm not mistaken Square Ring Promotions is his company I don't know if they have anyone promising on their roster, but at least he's getting most/all of the money when he fights.
Nonetheless, the fact that he's still boxing definitely suggests that he needs the paper.

I think you're giving the HBO commentators a nice salary there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) You may be right though, Lampley's been there for about 25 years, and Im sure Larry's been there longer.
