Roy Jones not fighting on Showtime

Former pound-for-pound king Roy Jones, Jr. will not be fighting on Showtime Championship Boxing on June 9, 2007 as originally announced.  Jones was unavailable for immediate comment, however Boxingtalk understands that the bout crumbled because Roy wanted $1M more than the $500,000 offer that was on the table for him to fight Anthony Hanshaw on that date.   (3:41 PM EST)
