I think they want Jones but he's asking for too much money, so they're trying to call his bluff by looking at alternatives. Or sounding like they are. I don't think Joe will fight Pavlik but Zolt is an option. No US TV money but 50 000 tickets, UK TV money and the lion's share of the purse for Joe.
Jones has stated he'll take less money and even fight Joe over thereQuote:

I'm cool with it if he's planning on a few more fights afterwards, otherwise he should take on a bigger name if it close to closing up shop time.
Do you mean Zsolt or is this some unknown guy I never heard of?Quote:

I don't think Joe is dodging him, I think Jones is probably after too much money. I honestly don't see Joe fighting more than once and it's almost certain he'll fight in Wales when he does. Zolt will take what Warren is offering and Jones won't. This Zolt angle will now have Roy's mind concentrated on exactly what he brings to the table over Zolt. We may see Calzaghe-Jones announced quite soon. :)Quote:

The O2 is 20 000, the Millenium Stadium can fit 70 000. Plus it's in Wales. :)Quote:

Eve if the Zolt fight is a 80-20 it still would not give joe the money with rjj at a 50-50.Quote:

Erdei's a better challenge than the current version of Jones IMO, and a W over erdei would carry more weight after the dust settles on Calzaghes resume. It's Pavlik I want for him though as a final fight, see what happens this saturday.
Erdei happens to own the legitaamate lineal championship at LHW, even though his competition since has been less than stellar.
He aint fighting Zolst full stop, if there is any talk about this it's warren up to his usual shit trying to to piss about.
He said out right after the kessler fight Zolst was a complete no.
HBO would pay a bigger license fee for Jones but it's in dollars and would be split 50-50. Plus the German TV money would be in Euros. Fighting the German would give Calzaghe the money he could get from a Jones fight at whatever split Jones is currently willing to accept.Quote:
