Yet, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/mike-tyson-vs-roy-jones-jr-postponed\/\">the event was postponed to November 28<\/a> to allow for the fight to gain more hype and hopefully add more pay-per-view buys on Triller.<\/p>\n<p>For Jones Jr., he says the postponement doesn&#8217;t work for him and he wants to be compensated for the date change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;I\u2019ve had to cancel other stuff to be out here, it\u2019s upset my calendar, I\u2019ve got to change things,&#8221; Jones Jr. said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-8636651\/Boxing-champ-Roy-Jones-Jr-threatened-pull-long-awaited-fight-against-Mike-Tyson.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Mail<\/a>. &#8220;That\u2019s why we have to table bulls**t now. That\u2019s the biggest issue, I\u2019m not a full-time boxer anymore so I do other things to make an income. If I can\u2019t do other things then I should be compensated for that, because it changes the schematics. It\u2019s not acceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roy Jones Jr. says his lawyers are talking with Mike Tyson&#8217;s lawyers to see what compensation he can get.<\/p>\n<p>From what he understands, the hope is fans can attend the event. So, if fans attend, Jones Jr. wants part of the gate revenue as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;We\u2019re trying to figure something out, my lawyers are talking with their lawyers, trying to figure out ways to make it a better situation so that I can compensated for it, that is more beneficial for me to do. If they don\u2019t make it make sense, it (the fight) would be off,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Why would I change the date and mess up the rest of my year when I agreed to September 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;They said they wanted to get a crowd. If you want to get a crowd, that\u2019s a different type of money. If you want a big event, that\u2019s a different type of money,&#8221; Jones Jr. continued. &#8220;You think I\u2019m going to say, okay, let\u2019s look at my money, but I\u2019m not getting no better percent. How dumb is that to me? So let\u2019s see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It would no doubt be disappointing for many combat sports fans if the fight gets canceled due to a date change. It <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/mike-tyson\/sports-world-reacts-to-mike-tyson-vs-roy-jones-jr-fight\/\">was a scrap people had circled on their calendars<\/a> to see the return of Mike Tyson and get the chance to see Roy Jones Jr. fight again.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think the fight between Roy Jones Jr. and Mike Tyson will get canceled?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roy Jones Jr. is not happy about his fight against Mike Tyson being postponed.
