Hopkins wants 60-40 split in Calzaghe fight

[eagle]

Hopkins is a 2 division champion. He's the bigger name. He should get the bigger pay. And like eagle said, 40% is still a couple of millions. Kessler agreed to all of Calzaghe's terms just to make the fight happen. Calzaghe should do the same. That is if Calzaghe and Warren really want the fight.

VD do you realise kessler was paid just shot of £3 million pounds? Id be suprised if he got anything above £800k before, so Kessler just set himself up for life for that fight with Joe. So thats a load of bollocks if Joe was to paid anywhere near triple his biggest payday he probably would swim there.

The point is Joe should not worry about the money. Just call the bluff.

Well not really VD was saying Kessler bowed to all Warrens and Joes demands but he forgot to add Kessler also got at leats 3 times his biggest payday, sort of relevant in the terms of the deal.

But Joe got more right? Tho Kessler had more belts....

Are you being serious?? More belts?? WTF? So the fact that the fight was in Cardiff and 50 thousand people 49 thousand for Joe Calzaghe, the money invested from Setanta Sports (British Network) was all there because Kessler was the main man? No Joe was the man in the division, Joe was the one who had been on prime HBO and Showtime, Joe is the one with the most important belt THE RING.

Mate listen im not saying Joe deserves more that Hopkins but my point is the short sightedness of VD, when he says Kessler was such a warrior he came to Wales for F*** all and we must take our hats off to him what a guy. The only reason he came was because he was getting paid alot more cash than he could imagine.

The point is it shouldnt be abou the money at this stage of Joe's career. If BHOP is trying to back out, stop him by calling his bluff. Take 0% to force him to fight. Then the win if he gets it will be sweeter.
