That's what i meant, mate.

Hopkins can't draw flies to shit. The Pavlik fight just did under 190,000 PPV buys - a huge failure.
Calzaghe isn't exactly an HBO cash-cow either, the Calzaghe - Kessler fight had low numbers and it was on free HBO.

I imagine the Calzaghe-Jones fight did ok, but I'd wager that had much more to do with RJJ than JC.
Mate you're missing my point. Yes Calzaghe wont do great numbers in America. The reason HBO didn't mention a Hopkins-Calzaghe rematch is because it wouldn't do great numbers. The first fight was shit. Calzaghe will never do great numbers in America being a Brit. Hopkins-Pavlik just spectacularly FAILED on PPV. Hopkins doesn't sell.

If they WANTED Hopkins-Calzaghe 2 they would put up enough CASH to make it happen.. they wont
