The reason no-one has answered your question regarding how much Joe would of made is because no-one knows. But for you to assume Calzaghe would of made more is quite frankly naive and a bit silly. Calzaghe's biggest payday to that point was in the hundred-thousands not millions.

I was showing the money difference.. Tongue-in-cheek styley.
You said why would Hopkins be scared of Joe when he fought Roy? Of course Hopkins wouldn't of made as much back then. But the
fact is he demanded
$5,850,000 more to fight Joe than what he accepted to fight Roy. Fact....
