Taylor wants $10m from Calzaghe

[smashup]

Taylor has bottled it and it's as simple as that

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.

Exactly if he isn't going to Usa what was point in fighting Manfredo then ??

Come on Smash do you really beleieve that>?? The same guy who has fought Hopkins and Wright?? He might be scared to travel becuase he might think he will be screwed on foreighn soil but thats it, if this fight was in the Usa he wouldnt think twice about sigining for the fight, if this fight was in the Usa im sure Taylor would take $4 million all day long.

CAlzaghe is a great fighter, but he should definitely find a way to fight Wright, Hopkins, tarver, Miranda, RJJ now....no matter what, otherwise, he'd better retire...

So FW could show the boxing world he can sell 35,000 tickets for a load of pathetic mismatches...and have the mismatches broadcast live Stateside as well as here.

Think what numbers he can do for REAL fights...and therein lies the problem at the moment.

Sorry but i far from agree,weird how certain fighters ask for crazy amounts of cash when being matched up with Joe.
He'd get destroyed by Calzaghe

Well itv are proper pissed at Frank and are thinking off not renewing his contract in June, Frank Warren is a guy who is bleeding the Sport dry, hopefully Hennessey or Hobson can bring some good fights to Itv.

Yes, although in his column yesterday he rubbished reports that ITV were interested in showing the Hatton-Castillo fight because of his exclusive deal with them to show just his mob.

Im the biggest Calzaghe fan out there and i think hes way to much for Taylor, but how can you honestly say he is ducking Calzaghe?? Calzaghe needs Tayler more than Taylor needs him, he just doesnt want to travel do you blame him?? After that joke stoppage?? Like i said if the fight could be made in the States im 100% certain Taylor would fight for the $4 million, why should Taylor travel?? He probably could fight Kessler winner of Hokins Winky, Mirnada-Pavilk, he dont need Calzaghe, its sad to sat but true.

Here's the way that I see it...fan's are always short changing Joe for all the wrong reasons.

It speaks leaps & bounds that the other pro's are pricing themselves out.

Two reasons...& critics can lie to themselves all that they want:

#1: Many people are either smart or scared of Joe. Face it...that's the truth. Joe is well respected & properly feared.

#2: They DO NOT want to give up home court advantage to the favorite...no matter where he is. Joe would come stateside to fight Taylor...I wonder if they fought in the U.S. what would Taylor do?

He'd bail. No if's &'s or asses about it.

[littlebif]

wonder how much JT would want if joe offers to go other there and beat his arse?

[OumaFan]

These "negotiations" have been a joke from the start.

Its like a contest to see which side can make the more ridiculous offer. Taylor could make 4 million fighting bums in his hometown so Warren's offer was a complete joke. But then Taylor's obviously not gonna get 10 million, just a waste of time so far.
