During a recent interview with the BBC, when asked if he had ever considered a sum of money that would lure him out of retirement, Joe Calzaghe answers, "Ten million, of course. I'd come out of retirement at 50 years old for ten million pounds... everybody got a price."
it says at 50 years old.......JOKE
I don't think he meant 50 years old exclusively but rather comparatively. As in, "I'd come out of retirement even at the age of 50 for that amount of money."
bute can do it if he beats the winner of the super six.
lots of canadians would want to see that and if bute beats the winner of the super six, he'll get a lot of publicity
I don't see how Calzaghe can be accused of ducking Chad Dawson. Dawson's fights against Johnson and Pascal have exposed him as a pretty average fighter. Additionally, Dawson has two fans in the US, his mum and his dad. A fight with Dawson would not be beneficial to Calzaghe's legacy or his finances.
because dawson was the best light heavyweight and instead of fighting him he fought shot jones jr and then retired? omg dawson lost a fight to a top fighter he's average! i remember calzaghe losing to robin reid so i guess calzaghe is a frickin bum. oh wait boxrec says he won so it must be true.

On another note....how much coke could he buy with £10 Million?! lol
He'd probably beat Froch with ease too.
not enough coke to kill " two and a half men"!!!!!! hahha, i couldn't resist!
i want to say the hopkins fight would get that kind of money, but there has been a LONG AWAITED fight between clazaghe and froch, so i think that fight would get coke joe the money he is looking for.
coke money anyone?????
I don't think the number is completely unachievable but it could be difficult to get there in just one fight.. He made around $10 million dollars against Roy Jones (roughly £6.2 million pounds.) It'd be more likely if he did a 2 fight deal to earn around £10 million pounds in total. He could potentially earn that over a 6 month period.
I think 10 million is reasonable for a two-fight deal. Tune-up and superfight against Froch/Martinez/Pascal.
Froch is the only fight Id want to see. I couldnt stomach an anyone else beating him.
Joe nose whats up :lol1:....on the real, if he come back and fight Ward, Froch, or B.Hop then he will go from good to god in my book....he'll be missing a "O" :boxing:
If Vitali can pull that number against a punk like Solis, I dont see why Joe cant.

Yeah he'd come out of retirement for 10 million euro but he'd want to fight a guy who's not even ranked.
is froch not ranked??thats who he was talking to
