Roy Jones Jr. Financial Issues Explained By Promoter

[Formerly known as...]

I knew he had to be financially fukked but reading this makes me feel sad for the man.

He shouldn't be in the ring taking the beatings he has been at this age. Health over Money....But saying that, dealing with some Russians, without the money you will have no health.

Catch 22.

I have a feeling the same is going to happen to Pacman

We all have personal responsibility and shyt in this world but it truly is disheartening when you see somebody who became a legend in their field and dedicated DECADES of work and did everything and they ended up with no money to show for it. I'm truly thinking of cats like Tyson, Jones, Lil' Wayne, etc., etc., seeing as they ended up with no financial security from their legacies (even though the blame is certainly on them as well, something must be said for the fact that these cats were basically steered into their careers before they were even teenagers and therefore had to be dependent on others to watch out for them financially and we all know how that goes).

people go broke everyday b

plus you have some people who never even get up out of that proverty............he made money and overextended himself..............its sad but hey thats life

Is that why he already needs advances from his next fight? despite being in the highest grossing ppv of all time a few months ago

The advances are for campaigns. You underestimate the wealth of a politician here in the Philippines. You need to shell out huge amount of money but once you're in seat you'll probably double or triple it . So spending that much is worth it as long as you win.

PH presidential candidates outspend billionaire Trump

I don't know the political process over there but I do know that in May he made more money in one fight than he prob has his whole career. This was in May why would he need an advance from his next fight already?

I bet the promoter gets a cut of everything on what roy does. Movies, books, etc

"and that is why God sent his only other begotten son ...Al Haymon to deliver us from the evils of perpetural debt and indentured slavery within a wicked boxing world void of regulation...filled with the darkened corrupt souls of promoters such as the tribe of ARUMites who feed on the ignorance of boxers and their lack of understanding financial restraint.....and that's why Mayweather and all those are SAVED by being on one accord with the FATHER AL , through him ALL FINANCIAL STABILITY MADE....cause he teaches fighters to fight temptation

he will come again to judge the evil (HBO) and the dead (HOYA) .....and the PBC KINGDOM will have no end......AMEN

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Roy gonna be fighting until he's 52 to pay back the Russian....they don't play about their money

Yea sounds like he owns roy

Roy owes 3 million and the promoter has paid 1 million so far

this is terrible

Paul Williams () did this and from all accounts, is eating just as good, or even more, than he did when he fought

because PAUL WILLIAMS did the right thing and got a real "ADVISOR"

yes even though his trainer really hindered him in terms of correcting his flaws in the ring, george peterson set him up lovely with real estate advice so he can continue to eat good

I think RJJ does own some real estate property but it's not enough since he owe the IRS way more then he's been making now a days. Roy basically fought Tito and Hopkins for free and those were his last chance to make some money at PPV. He didn't want Don King to get options on him so he gambled with that. The B-Hop fight, Jones only got money from the PPV since B-hop got the up front money. The momentum for that fight went down hill and flopped real quick once Jones put down in 1 in Australia by Danny Green. Even though losing in a round he got 8 million for that fight.
