Remember, it wasn't even on the box over here.
I feel it is very relevent, he went to a country where dodgy decisions are a plenty and that could be seen as an understatement, and why you ask yourself?? Maybe the one round demolition 3 years earlier was enough evidence it would be an easy night, and im quite certain he was paid £600k not £736 as you stated.
Well of course. Would you turndown a career high payday to fight a guy you've already annihilated in 1 round?

You've missed the point regarding FW's involvement. Think what the difference is between a managers cut and the amount you make when you have control of the whole shebang

Not sure where you got £600,000 from but copy and paste this into google - calzaghe veit £736,000
