Bet the fight wouldn't have happened if they knew the interest would be so poor.

Wonder if Calzaghe would have done better against Roy, Tito or Tarver in the States? Probably
Thats the beauty of this for Calzaghe, here in the states outside us purists there isint much expectation for Calzaghe, when he whips Hopkins ass he will gain a measure of popularity, noteriaty so when he fights a Jones or Trinidad it will mean$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for Joe and maybe enjoy a measure of U.S appreciation like Hatton does in the states, Joe certainly deserves it at this point
