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

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.

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.

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!
