Its Official!!! Calzaghe Vs Kessler NOV 3!!

[eagle]

Preme and Mikkel K, what im trying to say is that Calzaghe has been about the money his whole career, thats why he wont be remembered as a warrior but as a guy who dodged the best all his life and when he finally fought a non stiff he did it all on his terms. He has never travelled anywhere chasing a big fight.

I understand that argument and I even agree to a point - if we are talking about Calzaghe's career as a whole. But puttting up the criticism now, well I find that a bit strange.

I mean, he takes on the biggest fight possible. He seem willing to travel for it. His opponent clearly states himself that he wants the fight wherever it makes the most money. That will be in Cardiff. They agree to fight in Cardiff.

So why the criticism now? It is not like he is dodging the best, or staying home to fight some tv-celebrity or something.

The point is even when he takes on the toughest opponent of his career he still does it all on his terms. Dont be naive and even think he was ever going to travel.

But what does Kessler bring to the table apart from his unbeaton record and his two belts? There both on HBO right now but im certain Warren has more bargaining tools with Calzaghe than Palle has with Kessler when it comes to HBO, also theres tv, British tv brings far more income than the Danish networks, man that statement is flawed, Cazlaghe was willing to travel for $5 million, he went over to Germany ( ok it was Veit but we all know what Germany is like) because it was a big payday. But Palle cant generate $5 million a piece in Denmark, Kessler is coming to the lions den becuase he is getting paid more than he has ever and will probably ever get paid.

I got a feeling after this if Winky overcomes Hopkins it will be Joe v Winky in Cardiff again, i suppose Joe again will be called a chicken S*** etc etc for not travelling, but the most money for both fighters will be in Wales.

The stupid thing about your argument is that if any of the big american names had used the excuse that they bring more to the table so Joe should come fight them in america on their terms u would straight away say they are ducking Joe, and are scared of him.
Yet when Joe does it to Kessler u say it is the right thing to do. I think someone is being a hypocritical fanboy.

So when has Cazlaghe been offered big bucks to go to America? he offered Hopkins $6 million to figth him he agreed then at the 11th hour wanted double, if Calzaghe was offered $6 million he would swim to the States to fight anyone of the top boys, but the money isnt there for Calzaghe he aint that much of a name in the States to generate that moeny, but the money is there 60 thousand fans mate aswell, how many fans in Vegas would watch Hopkins v Calzaghe you would be lucky to get 10 thousand.

Stop being a fanboy. Calzaghe might be getting big offers if he'd actually fought someone of note in the last 10 years. So your saying its good joe is all about money and not about the legacy?
