Calzaghe was offered less than $4 million

Hopkins only made 3 mill for that fight, and being that Winky moved up in weight and Hopkins was the "champ" I figured Wink made less. I don't deny that Joe deserves more money, but offering a ton of money to a guy who they don't know yet if he's bankable in America is a risk, do we even know how much Hop would make in this fight? I haven't heard ANY numbers that Hop would make opposed to Joe. we all know Hopkins dont want the fight with Calzaghe ,the money issue is just a smoke screen

Ill fight Hopkins for 4 mil, I wont win though...

Look, there have been "official" things saying that the price was $16 million, and apparently now another one saying it's $4 million. I say that people stop jumping to conclusions until Oscar, Richard Shaeffer or sometbody comes out and says an OFFICIAL number straight from the Horse's mouth. Besides, wasn't Winky Wright given like, under 3 mill to fight Hopkins? And he's a bankable name over here, I'm not saying Joe deserves less money, but people must take into account that if the fight is going to be in America, making more money (no matter if it's under 4 mill) than Winky Wright is an accomplishment for your first American fight. no. joe deserves more money and if this is true, BHop is a bitch.

2 weeks ago the offer was 16M $. 1 week ago it was 8M $. Now its under 4M $. DLH called it a "buyout offer." 4M $???? HAHAHA Hopkins should be man enough to say "i don't want to fight Joe Calzaghe for some reasons" but they should stop playing games.

Calzaghe deserves a big pay day and if Hopkins and Golden Boy really want the fight they will what's necessary.

I heard the offer was nearly 16 million... The figure of less than$4million was from a welsh newspaper that interviewed Calzaghe.

What an appalling offer and truely disrepectful. Oscar and Hopkins should be have stinging nettles rammed up their arses.

I heard the offer was nearly 16 million... Where did you hear that? Never Never Land?

Hopkins must be crazy if he thinks Calzaghe should get less than $4 million. considering he made more by fighting Kessler at home. I heard the offer was nearly 16 million...

Its one way of not having to fight. Isn't it? Why should a fighter like Calzaghe have to travel and fight for that?

calz should take it just 2 show hopkins ..they did that on purpose cheap fucks

Hopkins can go fuck himself. A few people saw this one coming, Hopkins making a derisory offer that Calzaghe has no option but to turn down.

Calzaghe only has a few fights left, why should he accept less to fight some dinosaur like Hopkins who is just going to throw headbutts and elbows all night
