35,000 for Manfredo, 50,000 for Kessler, Sport personality of the year award and a plethora of primetime chat/game/award shows.

Calzaghe made a name for himself in the end.

Froch's top number is 6000 in Nottingham and had NO live TV for his first Grade-1 opponent.

I don't think Calzaghe is the weak link here
