Roy Jones Jr. Plays Peacemaker Between Bobby Lashley and Jason Guida
- Thread starter Shogun Locc
- Start date
Jason and Clay Guida is night n day. You could clearly see whose the blacksheep in that family. Jason gotta hangup the shot glass, cause all that shit talk aint gonna help him last past 3:00 mins without him gassing out. This aint worth paying maybe ill catch some video footage after the fight. Bobby looks like he got some pretty good wrestling skills so he could rely on the take him down and tire him out route. Guida is gonna throw a few sloppy haymakers, his takedowns are gonna look pathetic, then start to breath heavy.
I just hate the constant stoppages to put the guys back more into the center of the ring.. It stops the action. I dunno. Bugs the shit outta me.. But what are you gonna do in this situation? I guess its a necessity.. but I think Affliction would've done a lot better if they chose to go with a cage.. But Fedor fears the cage.. Not really..
March Badness salaries: Roy Jones Jr. and Bobby Lashley top earners
Boxing headliner Roy Jones Jr. and MMA fighter Bobby Lashley were the top earners at this past weekend's "March Badness" event, which took place March 21 at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Fla.
Jones, whose Square Ring Promotions also promoted the hybrid boxing/MMA event event, will take home two-thirds of all net profits received from the event. Lashley, meanwhile, earned $40,000 and will also get a piece of the PPV revenue.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today requested and received the official paydays from the State of Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
The total disclosed payroll for the event (not counting Jones' share) was $217,000.
Jones defeated Omar Sheik via fifth-round TKO in the night's boxing headliner. The State of Florida has not yet released official gate and attendance numbers – and the PPV numbers aren't released publicly – so it's unlikely Jones' official exact payday will be known.
Jones' opponent, Sheik, earned the night's second-highest payday with $50,000.
Meanwhile, Lashley, a former WWE star and up-and-coming MMA fighter, scored a lackluster unanimous decision over Jason Guida, who was a late replacement for Ken Shamrock. Despite the performance, Lashley was the top MMA earner for the night. Guida, meanwhile, earned $15,000 in defeat.
In the night's MMA main event, former top UFC heavyweight contender Jeff Moson defeated Roy Nelson via a controversial unanimous decision. The decision was met with criticism from those in attendance. Luckily, according to the DBPR paperwork, Nelson wouldn't have received a win bonus anyway. However, the victory earned Monson $25,000, $10,000 of which came in the form of a win bonus.
