Less than 225,000 Buys for Calzaghe-Jones

[DaxxKahn]

Jones was never a big PPV draw and Calzaghe is pretty much only a superstar when it comes to fanbase in the UK.....People pretty much lost interest in Jones a while back so it is not surprising the numbers were so low....Besides people knew the replay would be on HBO anyhow so why waste money on a fight that was pretty much going to be a disappointment anyhow in the opp of most.....

If this took place 5 years ago it would have had huge numbers

Like I've often said , I always pay for fights as am a die hard fan and you always wroory what you might miss.

But I don't really see how Joe v Jones appealed to the masses apart from the UK fan base and the die hard fans overseas.

I find it pretty sad also that De La Hoya is still the biggest draw on ppv. Sure the guy is a legend but his days as a major player (in fighting terms NOT generating revenue terms) are over.

From a true fan of the sport what is the biggest fight that could be made now whoch would generate interest ? I have to say Mayweather v Margarito (if he unretires) but what is the biggest fight that could be made in terms of ppv numbers ??

It's a funny old game........

I would have to disagree and say Hatton vs Pacquiao would generate more interest. Mayweather vs Margarito would be huge too!
