The Manfredo part was just an example Rhun....This guy is not going to sing the praises of a guy who claims to be the best in his division now or ever then act like Joe only fights top caliber Opp and nothing less...Truth is the only person in this sport that goes out of his way to fight nothing but the best under any circumstances is DLH...W/L/D Oscar fights only the top ( though he seems not to fare all that well lately)
As far as Venue it really has nothing to do with this fight in particular but Joe and his career as a whole...
Hell Take the fight to Japan and the Tokyo Dome...The citicens there will attend any fighting event and a top fight like this would sell....and the Dome holds over 100,000.....and again if Calzaghe had ventured out to fight top guys in the past to other places besides home or his back yard then I would not even mention it...
Tghe purse is guarenteed anyway it is just the promoters getting fatter pockets..on occasion the fighter will take less for percentage of PPv but that is not the case here...
I hate the WBA and their Supr Champion junk...Either the guy is champion or not....WTF is a super champ supposed to be
.It is almost worse then the interim champion the WBC is so fond of....
AND I Refuse to take the buy one get one free shaving cream :P
