Dunno if there is anyone from New Zealand here, but if there is do you guys know if Sky Box Office will be showing the Joe calzaghe fight?? Ive noticed it clashes with the UFC event which Box Office often shows.
Sucks lol. How popular is boxing in Australia? Is Joe Calzaghe known at all over there?
To be fair I follow boxing more than your average Aussie and I hadn't even really heard of Joe until he beat Kessler, so no, the name Joe Calzaghe is not known what so ever.
Everyone knows who Anthony Mundine and Danny Green (recently retired) is, a fair few know Mickael Katsidis, but that's because they are local.
Most people that have any interest in sport over here know the names like Mayweather, Hatton (cos he beat Tszyu), Kessler (cos he beat Mundine), Roy Jones Jnr, Oscar De La Hoya. Few might know B-hop, Mosley and such.
As for a name like Miguel Cotto, Kelly Pavlik and some of these newer blokes you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that knows anything about them.
New zeland aint a boxing country, they dont pump loads of money into boxing ppv, so why the hell should they get it free???? let them pay for it.
harsh....
I don't even pay for setanta, I get it free.
