*Update #2:

Alright, I wash my hands of this whole affair after this edit.  Here is the current status, from this thread at Ron Paul Forums:

This message and project is from the efforts of forum member heath.whiteaker.

Like Ron Paul, Roy Jones Jr. has been very outspoken against the war in Iraq. This fight will be huge, the seats alone for this fight are currently going for $25K a piece.

The Trinidad vs. Jones domestic pay-per-view telecast beginning at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT will be produced and distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View and will be available in more than 61 million pay-per-view homes.

Any help that you can give is much appreciated. If you still have questions I can be reached by PM, or Phone 863-837-1032

There will be two chip-ins for this:

The first has been established by Heath and will be used as to send money to forum member AdamT’s The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised or no contract is finalized then the money will be refunded. The American Liberty Coalition PAC will source the funding to the boxer. Here is this chip-in:
CHIP IN

The second chip-in will go directly to The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised or no contract is finalized then the money will be used for other Ron Paul advertising projects as desired by the PAC. For sizable donations you may want to pre-arrange some details. Here is the second chip-in:

Any overage from a combined $50K total of the two chips-ins will be used for other Ron Paul advertising projects as desired by the PAC. In all cases, you must supply FEC info for $200+ donations which includes name and employer- this is standard for a PAC. The American Liberty Coalition has done some excellent work and was responsible for the winning CNN/YouTube debate commercial, “Something Big”. See: http://www.alcpac.com. The $5,000 PAC limit applies as normal too.

Please note: RonPaulForums.com will never touch any of this money and thus has no control over it. It is suggested that anyone considering donating perform due diligence to satisfy any concerns they have.

Everyone is welcome to post questions but please keep them appropriate.

Contract status from Heath as of 1/14 5:00PM CST: Ok. here is what is happening. We are close to having a contract however. They are checking to make sure he will not get fined for having this on his back. After the Golden Palace incident they were talking about fines….. His manager is checking to see if those fines are in place now. If so I will ask about maybe a T Shirt or some thing on the back of the shorts

Just sitting idle right now

*Unfortunately there is now some question as to the legitimacy of this project. It is being discussed here.

The Ron Paul Revolution is at it again. Check out the newest grassroots mega-project.

From this thread:

Thats right. We are raising funds for the ad on Roy Jones Jr’s back for the fight. The fight will be on the 19th and will be on HBO PPV

This is a HUGE fight. If anything happens and plans fall thru FULL REFUNDS will be given.

We are raising funds for an ad on the back of Roy Jones Jr for his big fight against Trinidad. Like Ron Paul, Roy Jones Jr. has been very outspoken against the war in Iraq. This fight will be huge, seats are currently going for $25K. Any help that you can give is much appreciated. If you still have questions I can be reached by PM, or Phone 863-837-1032
