Roy Jones Jr. Bellator MMA held the option to promote a pay-per-view boxing match between Quinton Jackson and boxer Roy Jones, Jr., according to Jackson’s contract with the Viacom-owned promotion. The contract, obtained by MMAjunkie, specified that Bellator could convert Jackson’s second pay-per-view bout into a boxing match “in lieu of an MMA bout,” and that Jones could be an opponent. Jackson stood to profit handsomely from a fight with Jones.
