Household name are you taking piss?? We had a documentry on Joe about 2 months ago here in the Uk, and the presetner was goign round asking your average American do you know who Joe Calzaghe is and one person new who he was?? Household name, very far from it, put it this way Hopkins and Winky sold 9 thousand tickets in Wales they will sell 70 thousand.


i think he was saying that calzaghe is a household name over seas............. as in europe, not the us

i may be wrong though
NO you weren't wrong I did mean in europe. Calzaghe is not a household name in the US and I don't think that he could carry the fight in the US so it would stand to reason that it would make more money overseas where both fighters are known
