Mogens Palle talks about the Kessler-Calzaghe negotiations.

So the fights now in the UK? Millennium Stadium I presume then. So much for Copenhagen and Palle making a genuine cash offer then. Still, look like it's happening and if in the UK i Suspect late Sept/early Oct at the latest. Very good.

This is the problem with boxing today, all this time they've spend negotiating, we would've seen 5 fights already back in the ol days. :rolleyes: This is all rubbish and I highly doubt this fight will ever take place. One thing this is clearly not is rubbish. Warren, Palle and Calzaghe are all on record as saying that they want the fight to go ahead so they will all look very stupid if things fall through now. I hope this deal is finalised as soon as possible and it should act as a precedent for top fighters, promoters and networks around the world - let's see the best fighters in every division face off so we can find out who the true champions are.

We have been hearing for weeks now that a fight with Calzaghe and Kessler is going to take place only sigs need to be signed. I hope this doesn't fall apart and were left with both Joe and Mikkel fighting people we know they can beat. I'll believe once the deal is signed.

So do you not think Palle/Palm can get the money to hold the fight in Copenhagen?,it was Palm whom finance the fight against Andrade The purse was about 1,5mill $ for the Andrade fight - right?. 3,5 mill more is a huge difference. The fact that Palle needs Palm to get around his tv obligations, only means there is one more guy who needs to make money on this. His help is not free. If he could, it would probably mean no money for Kessler, and money out of his own pocket. Would you do that after Kessler’s remarks?

Yes, looks like it will happen in the UK. Palle paid more money than he earned to get Beyer to fight in Denmark, and ended up loosing money last year. Kessler never had a decent payday, and giving Calzaghe 5 mill, would have made yet another bad year for him. I think Kessler is the guy who finally made this happen. He came out very unhappy with Palle in the Danish media for not taking the money. I wonder how Palle will deal with the Americans, should he get an offer from a big name in the future. I know he holds the US market in higher regards than UK, but if he still wants to make the fights in Denmark, he needs to go. The only decent thing to do as Kessler's promoter is to go for the money and the exposure.

I don't care whether it's the UK or Denmark, just wanna see Joe beat down another supposed heir to his throne. Well this time will be different. Joes not fighting a guy thats 26-3, 20-1, 24-0, 23-3...but a guy thats 39-0-29 that can actually fight.

how id love warren and hobson to do a co-promotion on calzaghe/kessler and hattons homecoming at the new wembley that would guarantee a sell out. put woods on the undercard (exposure for a fight between him and calzaghe) also have amir khan on there and thats the stuff of masturbation lol. but neways this is great news and only goes to show palle had as much to do with the fight not getting signed sooner on insisting the fight in denmark , i always knew he never had the bank balance to get calzaghe to denmark

If this fight happens it would have to be UK, neither guys are a big draw in the US (which is unfortunate) so the money and exposure would come from the UK. Not sure where though, Hatton could probably fill half of the new Wembley, not sure about Calzaghe?

Big 'if' there The fact that "95% made" came from the mouth of the biggest Warren hater in the universe, makes me a believer. First time in three years Palle talks about Warren, without insulting him..

Good news, although sketchy on detail as usual. it makes more sense in the UK moneywise you'd have thought. They'd get $5m on the gate I'd have thought plus decent TV money.

"If Warren stands behind his words, I'd say there is a 95% chance of it happening, and I believe it will be in the UK" Big 'if' there

same shit we heard a couple weeks ago.
