Kessler offers Calzaghe $3,4 mill

[El Kabong]

This just in!!!!!


Great DANE Kessler = Svenn Ottke

I will not trust that guy until he fights in the US or at least outside of his home country or Germany

[Memphis]

He beat Mundane in Australia Lyle.

I love that signature Memphis Cool Click....

[Fenster]

I wonder if the fight could be made with both of the guys fighting outside of their home...

In America....

I agree Adam, I think that a fight in a neutral destination would be the only way that this fight would be made. In essence, fighting in the opponents' back yard is a bad move for either fighter, as there is always the notorious risk of judges being influenced by the home crowd.

Kessler's fanbase is Denmark - Calzaghe's the UK. Kessler's had 30 secs of TV coverage in the US

That's more than we have in the UK...

Err not quite

But the point is they're draws in their own countries, irrespective of who they fight. Outside of that, they most certainly aren't

[AdamGB]

Each is trying to build their reputation in the US though, not declare it...

It's the easiest way that the fight gets made...

No one can bicker over home advantage.

The American public know of Joe, it's a unification bout and the USA or england are the same to Kessler.

So how many tickets would a fight like this sell in the USA, you reckon?

[bcollins]

I'd buy that PPV.

i reckon quite alot after all it would settle who really is best supermiddleweight in the world would be a cracker

If this is true, Calzaghe cant turn this down, i just want to know how they can pay so much?? Calzaghe is first money motivated as proved in the recent documentry, so if this is true Calzaghe would defintly take this amount.

[Preme]

There aint no freaking way on earth Calzaghe should even consider taking that fight in Denmark. Like it or not, kessler is a NOBODY - i still believe Kessler should be the next fight for joe. But Joe is the boy at SMw right now, he has been for over 8 years, i mean its even laughable why anyone would think he should go there to fight him... even now people wont even consider saying anything bad about hopkins for not fighting Joe for HIS biggest purse at the time in the USA!

after the buyer fight it was all "yeah kessler will fight him even in england coz hes to gooood" now its oh we are offering him big money to fight kessler in kesslers back yard. Big change of tune don't you think?


i want to see calzaghe spank him, but id rather he didnt go fight a nobody in thier back yard, im not questiong kesslers skills, but he aint done shit, he knows it, you know it and his team know it! all calzaghe will get from beating him is 2 betls, normaly that would sound good, but all he gets is to belts. He can fight some guy called manfredo, get pucka time on HBO for the us to see him beat a tailor made fighter in impressive stly to lead to a 'mega fight v taylor' or he cud risk all that to fight kessler who has the WORLD to gain from beating/robbing joe in denamrk, fk that plain and simple...

It is easy to jump on the 'we hate crapzaghe' bang wagon coz the kessler team came out and made so much noise about fighitng joe, but now they are changing their tune completly, you gotta ask ur self why

Preme. Team-Palle HAD to make an offer since Warren WILL NOT make Kessler an offer for a fight in the UK.
If Warren wants the fight in the UK - fine - let's hear an offer and then we'll debate whether it's reasonable.
But the whole point is that Warren has made no such offer.

[smashup]

If the Manfredo fight can be made stateside he should seriously take that as Manfredo is a Household name and a cracking Second step towards breaking the US.
Stepping stone for Taylor/Hopkins possibly

Sorry mate but im the Biggest Calzaghe fan about, but if the money is in Denmark so be it, whats the problem? Thats where the best opponent is thats where the Money is theres no excuses, Joe is the number 1, but he should take this fight if the numbers are actully correct.

So if thats the case why did Joe travel to Germany to fight Veit in May 05?? I tell you why it was the $$$$$$$, so theres no reason why he cant travel again.

Well, warren said he made kessler an offer before for something aroud £1.5m, palle said it didn't happen... now im not so naive that i believe everything warren says lol... i take whatever that guy says with a pinch of sault!

But one thing i don't think we can't argue about it is sincce kesslers last win "both sides have bee in talks" now where is it fact that no offer has been made? Now palla may have said alot, and you could of read alot about kessler, im welsh i only hear the british press, please by al means if some site has any news on kessler and any brake down of pots, this is the place to post it and discuss it.

I don't agree with it, and find it very sad for the sport, that these days aranging a fight is like a game of chess, gone are the days when the number one was fighting the number 2 and there was no way out of it. each promoter is looking to secure the best deal for their fighter, any what ever the press tell you, what ever some wannabe supertsar boxer claims doesn't mean a god damn thing. It takes one phone call to some wannabe boxers promoter, for them to be flooding the papaers claiming a deal has been made to make the fight they want to happen teams start to sweat and give into the other camps claim.

all we have hard from "team-palle" is whats been said to the news. And tbh mate anyone who thinks that whats said there is law is just totaly silly lol... what really happens in boxing is what we don't hear about, and ike any side to a story there are 2 of them and we only get parts of the truth...

[smashup]

I agree the Kessler fight would be a better "Fight" But feel the name of the game now is cracking the US and he needs to do it fast
F*ck it i'll text him and get it from the Horses mouth
