Team Palle Offers Calzaghe 5 $$$

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

your on a mission impossible, it seems as if calzaghe is god, and those who want to fight him, better be prepared to fight in his living room, and only get paid from left overs, from their microvawe dinner..

the fact that kesslers 3 last opponents is ranked in the top 5 or 6 doesnt matter, the fact he holds 2 of the major belts, doesnt matter. the fact he has signed for hbo and was invited to espn, doesnt matter..

its excatly the case of making it worthwhile ofr fighters to come to britain, funny how its being portrayad, as if the fight woluf generate the most munoey in britain, but the largest offer is coming from denmark..

The largest offer for Calzaghe isn't coming from Denmark. Kessler shouldn't get paid as much as he is essentially the challenger and the less proven fighter by quite a way. A 60/40 split is very fair, and as the champ Joe should be allowed to fight at home.

I would agree with a 60/40 split in favor of Joe. As far as where the fight will take place they should have it at a nuetral site. I know both guys sell huge in their home countries, but we also know that both do good in front of their home crowds. I would like to see them fight in nuetral grounds where no man would have the advantage. In the end though i really don't care where this fight takes place as long as it happens.

The problem with a neutral venue is that the is massive money to be made staging this fight in the UK and denmark and a neutral venue doesn't make economic sense. PLus Joe has fought and won in germany its not like he has only ever fought in the UK.

which offer is larger and which fighter does this involve?

[.Mik.]

Put it this way:

Calzaghe gets the hometown.
Kessler gets the money he deserves (around $5m).
Kessler get the one fight he wants more than other (Calzaghe doesnt, Calzaghe would rank Hopkins, Wright and Taylor all ahead of Kessler).
If it happens in July, then Calzaghe gets the date he wants. If it happens in September, then Kessler gets the date he wants.

$5 million thats only £2.5m sterlin...If there doors open and Kessler is willing to work at a deal then lets hope they do as I would like to se Joe get this fight out of the way....But Joe is just starting to enjoy his fan base now so I would have thought he would won't to fight at home..

5 million? Is it pounds? Is it dollars? Is it Euros? Where is the proof the offer was actually made? Nobody knows, but everybody has an opinion.

Please read the headline off the thread. And the proof, read the comments and the link above. Did you just have a nap?
