Palle offers Warren 5 million dollars for Kessler vs Calazaghe fight.

What happened i thought they would fight Calzaghe in Wales ???

But yes i agree they should fight in Usa where no one has advantage.

Calzaghe got £736,000 for it. But he had to fight in Germany as FW lost the purse bid. And there's the important part, it wasn't a Warren promotion ;)

Remember, it wasn't even on the box over here.

I feel it is very relevent, he went to a country where dodgy decisions are a plenty and that could be seen as an understatement, and why you ask yourself?? Maybe the one round demolition 3 years earlier was enough evidence it would be an easy night, and im quite certain he was paid £600k not £736 as you stated.

Well of course. Would you turndown a career high payday to fight a guy you've already annihilated in 1 round?

You've missed the point regarding FW's involvement. Think what the difference is between a managers cut and the amount you make when you have control of the whole shebang ;)

Not sure where you got £600,000 from but copy and paste this into google - calzaghe veit £736,000 ;)

cc bro!! I see what you mean but for me Frank Warren is killing boxing to line his own pockets, there is so many great fights out there but Frank negotiates to hard like the Froch situation he wants rights for the rest of his boxing life whats that about??? Just make the fight he was saying only months ago Calzaghe is the best british fighter ever but now he is putting little bullshit clauses into contracts so he can make further money?? The guy chats utter crap, and that card at the millenium was the iciing on the cake, what top fights has he made in recent history he is supposed to be the main promoter in the uk and probably Europe, Calzaghe -Lacy and Hatton Tzysu?? The only reason the Hatton fight was made was because Hatton only took a third of the what was on the table, im sorry this man is bleeding the sport dry.

i like calzaghe but hes starting to make no sense or his promoter
i think the most entertaining one is taylor
but still want too see hte kessler one
