Jermain Taylor: "Calzaghe, I Want $10 Million"

[paulstokes2432]

well joe is tryin to get the lighter guy to move up to his weight, why doesnt joe do wat he has said for a while now that he was gonna do and move up to lightheavyweight and fight?

What big fights are there at light heavy? the big one was tarver unitil hopkins beat him! Woods wouldn't be considered a big fight other than in the UK would it?

Ok look the US is the biggest market for boxing in the world and therefore the US tv is where the money is but there is no reason the fight would have to be there it could be here at a time suitable for them which i have said many times ur the one who doesn't listen i only stated you haven't given me a strong reason for it to be there i see no difference. Only that i feel it would draw a bigger like crowd in the UK. To say the US is the mecca of boxing is a bit silly as its a massive place maybe Las Vagas is arguably the mecca of boxing because the casinos pay massive money to stage fights as long as they draw massive crowds. Or possiblily MSG is a mecca but any hick town around where taylor is from a mecca it is not.

Lol, Paul, you seem like a polite guy,

unfortunatley i have already explained in my posts why America is the Mecca of Boxing,

Fighters of ALL nations have gone over there to make more money, not just british,

Compare the Bank Account and Legacy of Lennox Lewis etc, to Joe Calzaghe, to see why Joe needs to go to the US.

The best fighters wont go to the UK cos there is not enough money in it, in General.

No one knows exactly what stipulations where attached to the $4 Million Frank warren offer, its all heresay and conjecture, Frank Warren manipulates the truth on many occasions, eg. Promising World title shots to certain british HW fighters when he knew there was little chance of them materialising.

This is as much as i can post without going over old ground again.

You are obviously very talented at going round in circles, I would highly reccomend a carrer in Formula One.

You are welcome to your opinion.

Yeah, **** light heavy. But why is he ducking Kessler in order to fight this new guy.

His arguments of "Waiting it out" are now null and void. Face it. Joe is staying active, but why not against Kessler? His initial excuse was that he was gonna wait for a fight with one of those other guys. Who better than Mikkel Kessler?

Well u say i'm going round in circles but u just say i've explain y when u have made no strong arguements. Compare Lewis' bank account with calzaghes? if thats the best arguement u can come up with you've proved your a fool. He was the best heavyweight (The weight division where the biggest money can be made if there are any quality fighters around) in the world who had other great fighters like tyson and holyfeild to have massive massive ppv fights with. The comparison is ****** my freind.

JT isnt much of a star in America is he? It would sell out in UK this fight at wembley arena. IF JT wants his face to be known he wouldnt be doing much wrong coming here. A good career move if you ask me. But if not i think JOe should go to America. Yes indeedy sir. Jus hope he acclimatises there. It is a bit hotter than in Wales.

Who said that? Stop assuming.

Fair point but i believe kesslers management are making this a difficult fight to make also. Kessler seems to desperately want the fight but his management aren't so keen making rediculous offers in return similar to that of taylors.

Jermaine Taylors huge in America, what are you smoking... He beat bernard hopkins twice, and got a reasonable draw with winky wright.

[paulstokes2432]

so what kind of live crowd would this relistically draw in the us? would it come close to the 35-40,000 minimum it could draw here if backed up with a good undercard?

[hugh grant]

Oh is he? But his face aint that recognizable i think. I dont think youre average person would know him. Boxing fans do of course. But u know what im saying.
