Taylor wants $10m from Calzaghe

[Fenster]

"If Joe and Frank want me that much, make me an offer for $10m and I will show up and bring him a gift to his front door," Taylor told BBC Sport.

Ha that won't happen

[Fenster]

Never in a million years. $10m is a joke.

These guys aint gonna leave home, so sadly it will be another Calzaghe disappointment, cause he don't wanna leave home either.

How much did Taylor get for Hopkins and Wright and secondly this would be massive fight what was his offer 4m and fight in September ?? don't sound to bad from where im sitting.

[Fenster]

Taylor got about $2m for the Hopkins fight

Now Taylor has priced himself out Warren will be breathing sigh of relief now Calzaghe can fight another bum

This isn't Calzaghe's fault though like it wasn't his fault when Hopkins priced himself while i have been slating Calzaghe recently its not all Calzaghe's fault that Taylor and Hopkins priced themselves out.

For the Wright fight he got between $3 & $4, Warren knows this so he makes him an offer that he knows to well would not tempt a guy who can make his living fighting at home, i dont blame Taylor for asking for that amount, why would he want to come to Wales where everything could well be against him crowd, judges and refferee for 500k more?? It has to be worth his while.

I don't really blame Calzaghe i blame Warren he's the man who makes the fights he's robbing us the fight fans

Yeah when I first saw the offer of $2m to Taylor I thought it must be a mistake and it was meant as £££...

Then it was upped to $4million, which still seems to short and yet $10million is much too much.

These guys aint gonna travel. Simple as. And that goes for Calzaghe too. So roll on Inkin

The thing is Calzaghe barely made $2 million for the Lacy fight, sos urely with the HBO intrest he can make at least that fighting in the States, but Calzaghe is so stubborn he would probably want 50/50 with all comers in the USA which aint going to happen, because the likes of Taylor and Hopkins are not going to give Calzaghe 50/50 when he is basically a nobody in the States, why doesnt Calzaghe go over there make a big statement get his $2 million then if and when he beats a Taylor of Hopkins he can then demand 50/50. I just feel Calzaghe dont give a shit about leaving the game as a great, in his eyes he thinks he is already a great when he is nowhere near that.

If Calzaghe would of said he wants $10m to go to USA alot of people would of said he has priced him self out of a fight so why arent people saying that about JT.

Warren should up the offer of $4m it isnt that much seen as JT would be stepping up to fight the best SMW in the world and in his home town!

The thing is mate Taylor can stay home and fight Wright Hopkins Lacy Miranda Pavilk etc etc, who can Calzaghe fight Irkin and Froch?? The fights are in the States thats where the best fighters lie, also JT can make $4 million and more fighting fighters who have more respect and are bigger names in the States, why has Hatton gone to the States?? There is only so much you can do in boxing the mecca of boxing is in the States, if you want to be known as a great it aint gonna happen in Wales.

[Fenster]

If he was ever gonna fight in the States he'd of done it by now. The Manfredo fight was the perfect oppotunity to make a belated American debut if he ever had any intentions of doing so.

[littlebif]

Warren isnt keen on Calzaghe going to USA cause he can make alot of money by selling 35000+ tickets in Cardiff.i agree Calzaghe should go over to America i thought that was the point in fighting Manfredo to get more attention in America then go over there to fight.
