Calzaghe has sold nearly 90,000 tickets in his last 2 fights! one against a reality tv runner up (35k) the other against a very good fighter, but one of whom most knew in the uk from what the papers said.. and that took in more than 50k!

everyone knew who wright and hopkins were...

i still think if push comes to shove 60/40 is a deal warren should take. 50/50 is more than fair tho IMO.
I think the point is that 50/50 is fair and thats how it should be, but if it gets Joe the fight he wants and thinks he needs then take the 40%. If he wins it will mean he probably makes more in his next fight.
