Looks like the ball is in HBO's court as I can't see Warren having an issue with those terms.

The BBC website is reporting today that Lou DiBella is willing to accept a 6 million dollar offer for Jermain Taylor to fight Joe Calzaghe in Cardiff, Wales. He is quoted as saying the previous 4 million offer wasn't enough. Taylor says he is willing to go to Wales.

i will go crazy if calzaghe beats taylor by UD or KO/TKO and i will rub it in your fat yank faces for over 1 year just like how i rubbed the lacy loss in your face.

He's Canadian.

Dunno why he's agreed to Cardiff all of a sudden. Obviously shows us how many lies go around during negotations though (wasnt Taylor's last comment that there was NO WAY he'd fight in Cardiff...seems like maybe he was just using that as a bargaining tool to get more money). Will be pleased if it does happen though.

Why won't Calzaghe come to the U.S. but Taylor will travel? Taylor is the real champ in my book.

Probably cos Taylor is getting a ****LOAD more money for fighting in Wales than they would offer Calzaghe for fighting in America.

I was thinking the same thing myself.

Both are extremely overrated. Especially JC who has not fought in America yet. I'm not a Hatton fan but atleast he brung his ass over here and fought.
