Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. - 28 November 2020

[Jimmy2020]

The IRS charges (from memory) 6% interest on late payments. When you are literally years late on multi-million dollar tax bills and your earning has more or less dried up you are pissing in the wind as that bill compounds.

[mickey1975]

Tyson’s body bares no resemblance on the scales to his ‘recent’ training clips.

[Boxerbeetle]

Jones looked like a 70 year old man at the weigh-in.

[tonyevs]

I thought Tyson had gotten rich again through his cannabis businesses. He’s also flying high on Instagram with 13mil followers and a shop etc on there. He will be doing well now. Roy Jones will be skint I’d imagine. Nobody really cares about him anymore, Tyson is still a huge name.

I pretty sure I read that some donation will be made to BLM - as was the fashion previously; not sure if that's unfashionable now though??

Again - from what I understand Tyson is not the actual owner of his weed-farm; more or less the front man for it, with perks of an income off it .. and all he can smoke.
Last I read Tyson is worth a couple million, and Roy Jones quite a few million more; apparently Jones invested sensibly.

I’d love that to be the case with Roy Jones. However, why would he have fought all those unnecessary fights if he didn’t need cash?

Lots of examples of very rich people chasing more money. It's not like when a boxer makes 1 million he decides that'll be enough .. he wants to make £5mill .. then 10 .. then 50 ... Etc

[TheLeprechaun]

Roy could have retired after the Ruiz fight and he'd have made quite a bit of money off his brand as the best of all time. Instead he completely ruined his legacy by getting starched. Even Enzo Maccarinelli got in on the act. Danny Green did him in 60 seconds. He really f*cked up his prior achievements.

Jones blew all of his money. He sunk a massive amount into his record label. He boxed for years because he was broke. No way is he a millionaire.

[DrDuke]

Tyson looked decent for his age at the scales, Jones looked like he had been on a pie diet to make HW limit.

A millionaire isn’t that clever for a man of Jones standing.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[emallini]

I don't think Jones boxed on for money. He is just addicted to Boxing.

Yeh, he did say that.. he just loves boxing.

He did make some bad financial deals losing most of his wealth, and need to file for bankruptcy a few years back - but that's often done when celebrities are down to their last few million. Various sources put Jones net worth around £3-4 million in 2020. He too owns a cannabis related business.

Will be interesting if Tyson does give it all away to charity. Can't imagine this farce being able to be done again.

Not trying to be difficult, I want Roy to be rich, but what sources? If you mean that google 'celebrity x net worth' thing then those are completely made up.

Yeh, those sites just estimate.. and actually give you a much higher figure than reality..

Oh I don’t know, the Chisora v Usyk card was pretty appalling. At least you get a performance from Lil Wayne thrown in with his one!

[goose 5]

Good thing no fans will be there- Mike and Roy would be booed out of the ring. This will rival Ali-Inoki for garbage time.

I just googled Lil Wayne because I have no clue who he is, and apparently he’s pulled out tonight anyway
