Taylor wants $10m from Calzaghe

[bigragu]

Now Taylor has priced himself out Warren will be breathing sigh of relief now Calzaghe can fight another bum

I don't think so...Warren just lost another out/excuse not to fight Kessler...the real fight that should be happening....

Kessler was offerd the june fight first, claimed he was not ready then after a few weeks of stick rumors hit he was injured?

Frank warren is under deep preasure to provide in the june date, if he doesn't he loses his contract with ITV and is fucked basicaly. I don't know if Sky will take him back, or if they do i believe he will losse money. Setanta are said to be interested, but again for less money as well as it being a very little used package in the UK that few will pay for just for frank warrens boxing meaning his fighters also lose alot of exposure.

This Kessler fight is one that should have happened 2-3 years ago.....f*** Warren....

taylor doesnt want the fight.simple.10m is a crazy amount.what if the situation was reversed?if calzaghe said that he would be accused of ducking.

no...Taylor wants some insurance for fighting in Joe C's home town.....He is not going to get a fair decision, crowd or atmosphere....If he is giving everything up to be in the most hostile place for him give him the money.....or fight in Vegas for 4 mil....Vegas is pretty neutral.....

Taylors last 4 fights - most will say he actualy won one of them.

The difference is in 3 of his past 4 fights he fought the best in His division....Joe C cannot say that ever...never in his career has he fought that type of level of competition consistently....

Winky had never fought at MW, not matter how great he was at LMW that doesn't mean shit when moving up. His second fight he fought Ike and again by no means proves anything in regards to what he can do at middle.

It looks like FW's plan is working again: (1) make a sham "offer" to Taylor, then (2) when he calls you out on what a joke it is, (3) claim that he's dodging Joe and (4) Joe's rabid fans will follow.

Look, I called this a week ago:

Does Frank think $4 mill. buys him the world or what?

Probably...$4 mill's a chunk to most men.

But not to Taylor. As the boxingtalk post for this states (as an "editor's note), JT gets this much $$ to fight IN AMERICA already. This "offer" is a Frank Warren sham that's just being made so that he and Joe's fans can have another top American fighter about whom they can say "Look, Joe wanted to fight the guy, he offered him a ton of money, but [American fighter--could be RJJ, B-Hop, or JT] didn't take it. So who's dodging whom?"

Obviously, Taylor's not actually demanding $10 Million. His point is "get serious and then we can talk. I'll give you an example of a ridiculously high counter-offer I could make just to make it clear that I see your 'offer' as an absurd lowball." If FW had made a $6 or 7 Million offer to begin with, you'd be seeing serious negotiations at this point.

DAMN 10MILLION??

THATS LIKE OSCAR PURSE MONEY THERE AND WE TALKING THE 90'S VERSION HAHAHA

JT has priced himself out but can you blame him? Moving up in weight,going to the guys' backyard etc. JT has already proved his willingness to fight the best,fighting B Hop and Winky back to back,and I'm not evenJT fan. Joe C needs to show some balls and fight Stateside.

Fen,I don't know if it was in that article but it's almost certain that if JC does not fight Taylor,he'll be fighting Inkin!!!! What a LET DOWN! The ball is entirely in Warren's court. You can't ask Taylor to come to Britain,move up in weight AND take the $4 mill offered which is a joke becuase JT could easily make more than that fighting in his own hometown.

i see what you mean mate.

the thing about taylor is he knows he ain't getting that sort of money off warren and thats why he asked for it.

taylor also needs to realise that a win over calzaghe would be huge for him.

imagine it, a win over calzaghe would get him the credit he really deserves

Warren has offered Kessler a fight in July, Kessler said later maybe August/September, Warren said not interested in that, Joes next fight most be in July

Then,Warren offers Taylor a fight in Septembe,so who talks BS
The fight will never happen,it is just some lame excuse again from Warren

[Julius Rain]

j.t via clear u.d over j.c

[Punisher136]

he deserves to get the 10mil if calzaghe wants taylor to fight him in his own back yard.
