      This all just means negotiations are underway. Taylor ain't coming back from a May 19 fight in July either. Think people. HBO wants this fight bad...Kessler is saying he wants a 3 month camp...There's nothing sacred about July. If the fighters and network want the fight, we'll get it this year. The only way anyone should sweat any of this BS rhetoric is if we end up with a third straight HBO payoff to Cal for nothing.

        Or Calzaghe should take a free fight in Copenhagen, to show his abilities hasn't faded since Lacy, like his choice of opponents suggest..

        This was a joke remark, just like yours.

        A 50:50 deal is not silly for a guy to bring two belts to JC's backyard. Maybe its high, but Warrens suggestion was just silly.
        HBO wants to pay, negotiation continues.

        Calzaghe wont fight anyone in July.. Want to bet? This date was set to make Kessler look bad. His hands were the size of g****fruits after the Andrade fight.

          A 50-50 split is ****ing ridiculous. I'm amazed anyone could argue otherwise.

          There's one belt worth a damn and it ain't your boy holding it.

            Calzaghe won't fight in July, but Kessler can keep quiet when it comes to calling out opponents who are busy and already scheduled to fight.

              I would like to see Jo fight Taylor to be honest! But I think if Kessler can be done a 50/50 share sounds fair, Someone is gonna lose, And I aint gonna say nothing about Kessler until I get some fights of his through my letter box then I will call this fight...Jo is just starting to get credit for what he has done in boxing, And there is no way he is gonna be ducking Kessler, I think Joe thinks still has somthing to prove!

                We need to see some confirmation of an offer actually being made first of all. Something besides the BS out of Warren's mouth.
                Only then can we start considering details of this supposed offer.
                How manny here believe Warren will be willing/able to reveal ANY detail about the offer?
                If he does he sets himself up for having his bluff called in a bad way. Or more likely it'll be revealed exactly how cheap Warren is prepared to go.

                  Gentlemen gentlemen, whats all the fuzz. Calzaghe just have a easy win against a pint pointed easy opponent. Maybe Warren tries to make a smokescreen to cower up the bad matchmaking that every body has criticized. Kessler is slowly getting red hot in EU and US, and Calzaghe slowly is getting burn, so i guess Warren just try to fighting the fire with water. Bot who falls for that - off cause no true boxing fan, that wants to see the best against the best. So keep calm, negotiation isn't really started yet - Don't you agree??

                    I think HBO can play a pivotal role in making Kessler Vs Calzaghe. If they can push the July fight to August, then Kessler could fight.

                      So you're actually admitting that even a Calzaghe fan like you don't believe Warren could've been serious about the supposed offer for a july fight?

                      Thank you.

                      I guess it was just going through the notions, when initially you were so prepared to take Warrens words for good.
