Just heard that Calzaghe has split with Warren?

I think this is right. Setanta is a nice deal for Warren, not Joe. Hatton made a bundle from Sky ppv for his last two fights and Joe wants some of that too. I'm still not convinced the Jones fight is going to be ppv in the US because they originally said the same thing about the Hopkins fight, but there's a nice big ppv revenue stream there in the UK to be had for certain. IIRC Hatton got to keep 100% of the Sky money from the Mayweather fight too.

I'm a big joe fan, but there's no way I'm PPViewing a jonesJr fight, I'm sure a lot of fans think the same.

A lot more won't though. I hope he makes a bundle from doing it, he deserves it. And you'll probably end up buying it too. When's the next time you're going to see a Welshman in a huge Vegas event rounding off his unbeaten career?

Exactly. This is a fight between the two best SMW's of all time, billed as a farewell fight for Calzaghe. Competitive or not, it surely is huge.

In regard to my previous comment, I wouldn't be surprised to see Warren somehow on the Calzaghe payroll (manager or even better 'consultant') or to find out the split were on very amiable terms. They could be looking at a much larger pot to split this way, wherefore in terms of actual money this might not be so bad even for Warren.
