Calzaghe is contracted to Setanta im afraid, which mean John Rawling

Its Warren who is contracted to Setanta. Thats why Setanta have stopped saying "plus the next Joe Calzaghe fight". I heard Joe's in discussions with Sky and that could be part of the reason he got "injured". Also if HBO want the fight on November 8th then it will be then no matter what any britsh TV company say. Therefore if it does go through with Sky I really can't see them having both Hatton and Calzaghe on PPV in such a short time so they'll go with the one that will sell most which will probably be Hatton.

Hope so! but i have a feeling that Calzaghe would have had to sign a contract with Setanta too. Im sure Setanta would have thought about just this thing coming up.

He could still end up with Setanta if they offer the best deal but he is not contracted to them. This is the exact way it is worded in Boxing news "Calzaghes recent split from sports network means he is no longer bound to Setanta, making both ITV and Sky Box Office viable options to televise the Jones match" (july 11th 2008 page 9) Well this was when it was set for sept 20 but now its looking like november if Sky offer the right amount he may well settle for Sky sports 1.

Getting back to the weight issue, I did not realise that Lalonde weighed at the super middle limit, I thought it was only Leonard? Also didn't Hearns beat him to it by a couple of days?

I think it was a catchweight limit written into the contract

SRL-Lalonde was a good fight, tho past his best and coming back after a loooooong lay off SRL fought his ass of that night and cameback to win in a nice fashion...
Keep in mind that the SMW title was vacant when SRL-Lalonde fought.
Here in the RJJ-Joe fight both titles are Joes so it would ultimately be up to the org. to OK this...
