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

[Technical_Skill]

But arent all fighter's body clocks affected when they have to go and fight on foreign soil? Like all the English boxers who should have to go and fight in America?

lol

Yup, if you read one of my above posts, i declare ''it works both ways''.

Point is, would Taylor agree to it?

Second of all this has limited relevancy to the main point, which i shall now repeat.

After the Lacy fight, Joe Calzaghe said the following

''I only want the big fight from now on''

Then he fought Sakio Bika, lol

After that fight he and warren claimed they wanted Carrer defining fights

So,

Joe Calzaghe fought a guy who he knew had no chance against him

Why?

Joe and Frank said 'The fight happened to make Joe a big name in America, this will get Joe noticed etc etc''

The card was a disgrace

Larry Merchant ignored Warren in the post fight interview

And everyone agreed the fight stunk HBO out completely.

Im pretty sure the average US fan doesnt know who Joe calzaghe is

Im pretty sure Calzaghe hasnt got the respect of the majority of US fans.

Therefore the Manfredo fight was a failure,

If Joe Calzaghe and Frank Warren really want Joe Calzaghe to be a big name in the US, and to make more money

he has to fight over in the US (for reasons i have already stated in this thread)

Just like Lennox Lewis, who was more respected than Joe in the US

And just like Ricky Hatton

Who is also more respected than Joe in the US.

Thats the main point.

thanks.

I would also like to add, that for some reason Paulstokes has quoted certain posts under my name, which i have not posted, i dont think this is malcious, im just pointing it out.

hahahaha, joe got more money fighting the fighters he fought. He is a good business man. Did you not realize he made 2 million to play with manfredo

I would hav asked for 10mil to, why not, i mean he is the guy who beat hopkins twice, and stopped his title streak, he is the man at middleweight and he would be moving up into joes weight...

Seriously stop going on about the time difference thing if taylor won't come here that won't be the reason. And although i agree joe would benefit from fighting in the US you have made no good arguements for this. The only reason he needs to go there is because the american fighters won't come here.

And don't underestimate the influence HBO had in making that fight

Once again, you obivously have selectively quoted my post,

Im not sure you have read it properly,

I didnt 'go on' about the time difference in my lastest post, if you'd had quoted the post iin whole you would have seen.

My point is perfectly logical based on things both Frank and Joe have said

I have repeatedly explained to you in this thread why the US is the mecca of boxing,

I you dont think that, im sorry we shall have to agree to disagree,

Please stop mis-quoting me, and quoting me under posts i have not posted.

Keep your opinions, i have been patient.

seriously.

I don't give a **** if taylor beat god for christ sakes. 10 million is ridiculous, even if he expects them to wager it down. He only says 10 million, because taylor feels like joe can beat him. Taylors not confident in himself. And I don't even think european boxers even have that kind of money to buy an American for. Like their only supermiddle weights/middle weights. Taylor= scared little *****, he saw what joe did to lacy. Now, run taylor run!!!

[K-Nan]

Wooooow.

Never heard of the Inkin situation until now.

How can the fans defend him now? I've heard everybody say, unanimously, that it is neccesary for Joe to fight an elite contender next.

Bye, Joe. You're boycotted.

[Tysonisgod]

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?

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.
