Yeah all this it's on it's off shit is annoying. Warren surely got the coin to put it on and make money from it and give Calzaghe and Kessler good purses.
They should just agree to fight for 50/50 that way no one can grumble.
All this back-and-forth junk.
Just sign the contracts already.
Maybe they should have a rematch clause where the first fight is in Denmark and the 2nd in Wales or vice versa.
Frank Warren actually said in his weekly column,
not exactly, but just the idea of it.
"Palle said Kessler would go to the UK to fight for £2,750,000. so Warren then said he would send Calzaghe to Denmark for the same amount."
so Palle hasnt actually made this offer that Warren is talking about, so I really cant see it happening.
He must know it's his last big pay day so he's trying to get as much as he can.
Seems Palle tried to convince Kessler to fight for peanuts in Denmark.

Kessler says that if he has to take a smaller purse than Calzaghe for the fight to happen in Denmark - then he would rather fight in the UK. Seems Palle tried to convince him to fight for a smaller purse

Palle’s daughter said the reason the fight hasn’t been signed is because her old man is still in hospital. Really I couldn’t give a shit where it happen, so long as it happens.

"Last week, Frank Warren, promoter of WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, said Calzaghe would be willing to travel to face WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler in his native Denmark. Kessler has responded in an ITV Boxing interview saying he's willing to travel to England to fight Joe. "I haven't got any problem whatsoever with fighting Calzaghe anywhere in the world," stated Kessler. "Besides I'm more English than him," alluding to the fact that Calzaghe's father was born in Italy and his mother is from Wales. "My mother is from Salisbury," continued Kessler. "That must give me some fans, at least in England!""
Its true, this fight is all bullshit, one min calzaghe's going over to denmark and the fight just has to be finalised, now this bullshit comes up, nothing has been sorted, what a fuckin joke. RED TAPE ???
