Jones Jr vs Hanshaw Off !!

[Danny Ocean]

Hanshaw pulls out after money issues

edit :

Hanshaw is not fighting Roy Jones Jr on July 14. According to Shaw, Hanshaw is being erroneously advised that there is more than the $150,000 available to Team Hanshaw. As a result of this poor advice, Hanshaw is refusing to sign the bout agreement Shaw presented to him. Roy Jones Jr, who confirmed that "the $150,00 is all that's on the table for Hanshaw. That's the same money Showtime was going to pay, that's the same money we agreed to pay him." Jones later added, "whether it's Hanshaw or someone else, I'm fighting on July 14."

I'd be disappointed, if Hanshaw really pulls out. $150,000 isnt the greatest payday but adding a win over RJJ would certainly boost his money for his next fight, significantly.

[Danny Ocean]

maybe victor oganov or julio gonzalez or Paul Briggs

[PowerPuncher]

Whos Hanshaw to pass up 150k ???

[MrMagic]

Oganov kills RJJ now. :-(

[IntentionalButt]

Then I'm officially pulling out as a consumer. I was buying this to watch Tony, not some fossil versus a nobody.

The guy who would've knocked Jones cold once and for all. :deal

[IntentionalButt]

who is this dude, I have never seen him fight.


And I doubt he was going to win n e way

how can you possibly make that second statement after having made the first? do you even care whether you come across as a total boob? :patsch

hanshaw wouldnt have stopped jones he had no power at 168 never mind 175

but he couldve won a ud he is pretty good

[IntentionalButt]

he didn't have murderous power, but he had enough to crack a suspect chin that is no longer protected by speed and reflexes. :deal

[IntentionalButt]

if it turns out that roy really did price this shit out, he's officially going on my shitlist. this was hanshaw's shot at big time recognition. :twisted:

[vonBanditos]

Seriously, 150k for a semi-"Big Name" fight like this is peanuts. Roy is going to make 20x that easy.

He could have at least offered the guy 300k.

You think Roy still makes in the $3M range? His PPVs are pretty cheap, compared to marquee PPVs, and they don't do great numbers. It's certainly possible, but I don't think he gets that kind of cash anymore. How much has Hanshaw made in the past, and didn't he agree to this purse when they announced this fight?

[FlatNose]

Believe me, Hanshaw didn't have a chance or Jones wouldn't have agreed to fight him.Roy backed away from a fight with Peter Manfredo for God's sake!
Jones wants to get paid, but he doesn't want to fight anybody with a ghost of a chance.Roy has gone from a potential Sugar Ray Robinson type legacy to a reluctant prima donna, and now has spiraled downward to a sad, but still very loud joke.

[nervousxtian]

WTF Tony? $150k is a lot of scratch, it's a winnable fight (you'd haveta think unless Roy pulls out the old Roy).

I'm certain he's never gotten that kind of payday before, and if he wins, it'd surely lead to bigger and better things, think Tarver and Johnson... Johnson was a nobody road warrior before the Jones KO, he got his real exposure after beating Roy.. made himself some good money as well.

Hanshaw is making a mistake.

..in lieu of Hanshaw.. I think Roy should fight Felix Cora Jr.. the only guy with a worse chin than him at his weight!

what's this logic? hanshaw is 10x the threat manfredo is. :rofl

[Danny Ocean]

the hate for roy is awful

[vonBanditos]

No 150K is not alot of money when you take into account that the fighter has pay his trainers, sparring parters, cutman and everyone else on his team. For a big fight like this Hanshow would have to pull out all the stops on this one. He would proably only have 50-75K before taxes.

He probably ought to have negotiated for more money before he signed a contract.

its not rjj's fault hes offering the same money showtime offered

[Danny Ocean]

Roy ducked Manfredo? .

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

[IntentionalButt]

do we have confirmation on this yet?

[sandwichsurgeon]

Roy ducks another fighter, what a surprise.:-(

Be that as it may your boy Tarver is hardly better, he has skipped his lip reduction surgery 3 times in a row now it's getting rediculous.

[kadoiron]

Shut up you damn Tarver troll. The day you become unbiased is the day you are welcomed to a thread that talks about Jones.

[hipnusol]

I don't see how this is Jones' fault. He offered, Hanshaw accepted and NOW Hanshaw is saying that it's unreasonable.

[OBCboxer]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]
The fight is still listed on both of their records.

[hipnusol]

There was just a bulletin posted on FightNews about both fighters being "ready" with quotes from both...still seems on....hopefully this will be answered definitively by the end of the day.

[nervousxtian]

Seems like the first post is a buncha bullshit after all.
