Calzaghe: Boxing is dying!
Despite the fact that the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya fight generated 1.25 million pay-per-view buys, light heavyweight superstar Joe Calzaghe says the sweet science is nearing a ten count. "I think boxing is a dying sport......more at fightnews.com !!! Joe people didn't want to buy YOUR fights 10 to 20 years after they should have been made, oscar and manny think boxing is doing just fine given the economy and what not.
hes just mad cause his battle of the so called "super powers" didnt sell as much as oscar and pac. LOL joes upset that pac made more in one night than he did in his whole career :lolhaha:
I've always liked Joe. But he's become very annoying of late.
There is some truth here. If a guy like Calzaghe is one of the sports biggest superstars, then there is a problem. I don't think his retirement will have a significant impact one way or another.
Calzaghe should sdfu if he is not going to do anything about it. He thinks hes the best IMO he clearly owes hopkins a rematch because i think B-hop won.
So now that Calzaghe is retiring is he running his mouth?
Im going to miss CALSLAPPY like a hole in the head.
this is sad, joe is suppose to be one of the ambassador of the sport. He comes out with this comment just make him look foolish. If the sport is dying then how come it wont even notice when he retires? His country may love him but the rest of the world are like "joe who?". Ricky Hatton is more popular world wide then Joe.
Who are you gonna whine about when he's gone?Quote:

People should have let Oscar win every time. Just imagine if everyone that faced Oscar threw the fight :o This would let Oscar fight until he was way past his 60's ;D Let Oscar fight at any division including heavy weight and let him win ;D Big money for all weight classes ;D
Nobody, life will be perfect then ;D;D;DQuote:

....well if Joe had the balls to make that fight about 8-10 years ago then maybe he would have had more money.
I now dislike ALL Calzaghe's
Do not get on his back. It is true to some extent and the PPV is killing the game. We are all saying it.
Calzaghe is the problem - he is certainly not the remedy.
He tried to mug us all with his 'Super Powers' fight with Roy than BOMBED.
I rooted for him against Lacy, yet now i despise him and his anti-worthy opponent propaganda.
His sour grapes attack on Froch today left me cold. No well dones (like when Froch congratulated and backed Joe against Kessler.. )
yes it will. :)Quote:
