Kessler offers Calzaghe $3,4 mill
Kessler today will offer Calzaghe US$3,4 mill to meet him in Copenhagen. .
Team Palle also gave Warren the British TV rights. (If he takes the offer.)
This will by far be Joe's biggest purse ever.
Joe what excuse will you come up with now ?. So far it has been money. With the offer of 4 belts on the line plus by far the biggest purse of his life.. I cannot imagine he can find more excuses
Joe and some of his fans have used the "Kessler isn't a big name, who is Kessler?" excuse to death.
Well, that name is now putting 3.4 mill on the table to Joe. Win, lose, or draw

Joe will say that Kessler has to make a name for himself in the states like he is trying to do.

Re: Kessler offers Calzaghe $3,4 mill
He should accept even as he'd get so much more respect worldwide for fighting abroad.
Then hit the US. ;)
Re: Kessler offers Calzaghe $3,4 mill
I wonder if the fight could be made with both of the guys fighting outside of their home...
In America....

I agree Adam, I think that a fight in a neutral destination would be the only way that this fight would be made. In essence, fighting in the opponents' back yard is a bad move for either fighter, as there is always the notorious risk of judges being influenced by the home crowd. Hopefully, the fight will come off anyway, as there is no doubt it is the biggest fight to be made at SMW at the moment, without a doubt, and the one true statement jangeorg made.

Kessler's fanbase is Denmark - Calzaghe's the UK. Kessler's had 30 secs of TV coverage in the US - Calzaghe a couple of fights.
For example - The all British WBC heavyweight title fight between Lennox Lewis and Henry Akinwande took place in the States in front of a thousand punters.

Both Kess & Joe are titled...if I was Joe...I'd take that 3 mill & go spank that ass...if he can.

Agreed. This is becoming more of a respect thing now...even within Joe's inner circle of fans. If Kessler's not a name...how the did he rate Bika & some gotdam Manfredo?
That's a joke.
Re: Kessler offers Calzaghe $3,4 mill
Yea C'mon Joe Make it Happen!!!!!
Thats why I get heated when Joe gets the gatepass for level of competition.. But people crirticize Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather's competion or lack there of and people complain about opponents being handpicked and down play both of those guys achievments but, make Joe out to be some Golden child, granted He has earned and deserves his accolades without a doubt and I am a fan of his but he needs to step it up here...We all know Kessler is the real deal and is more than a formidable opponent and totally makeable fight for Joe....I question in the long run if Joe has the Testicular Fortitude to take Kessler on :-\
