Warren: "Taylor-Spinks Was Stinko De Mayo"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

How much is a front row seat to a Calzaghe fight? Compare that to the price for a ringside seat to a Taylor fight. That's why fewer people show up...

You are really grasping at straws now. Did you even bother to do researhc before you made that comment. Not only is the dollar worth less over there, but the seats are A LOT more than a Taylor fight. They made the tickets to Taylor-Spinks cheap in order to attract a crowd, and failed.

the ringside seats at Calzaghe - Manfredo were £320 = $634

what is the difference between a seat and a ticket?

No difference at all. That was the price I was given for the first few rows. And tickets were going very high on ebay, since people were going nuts for tickets and the show was a sellout.

joe has one dominant performance in years and his last two fights were against bums/reality show boxer and warren wants to talks **** about someone else, shame on him.

Yeah he has every right to say that after giving the world fight of the year candiates every time, i dont think boxing will ever be the same again after Enzo Maccarinelli vs Mark Hobson 2, that was the pinnacle of boxing, the modern day rumble in the jungle.

Well actually the fight was over in about 30 seconds, but nevermind, we had bobby gunn to look forward to next.

LOL. Your right why does Frank Warren feel free to comment on this like he gives the people good fights every time. The Calzaghe/Manfredo card was full of mismatches and a waste of time for HBO. I like Amir Khan, but he was in there against somebody that obviously didn't want to fight and just get the check. Plus how did Gunn even get a shot at Maccarinelli, many are to blame for that, but Warren let it happen. I know the Spinks/Taylor fight ******, but at least it was competitive.

Calzaghe said for 6 Million he will fight Taylor anywhere in the world, inclduing Arkansas.

And you believe him the same person that never fought once in the US.

I'm not sticking up for warrens matchmaking but Enzo Maccarinelli vs Mark Hobson 1 was a great fight which is why the rematch was made so thats not a great example and Maccarinelli did to Hobson what Taylor should've done to spink in the 2nd. You can't honestly tell me you don't think warren has a point on this one? It was a horrid fight.

And we saw in the Spinks fight that Taylor can't even sell out a local arena. The arena was half empty with the majority of the fans there to cheer on Spinks. Calzaghe brings out crowds of 30K+ to watch him fight bums. Taylor has to fight him in the UK because it's IMPOSSIBLE for the promoters and HBO to make that kind of money back anywhere else.

Wright turned down 5 mil against Taylor and Taylor was going to get a little more then Wright in the rematch, 6 million is not asking for too much, considering that Taylor has to move up up in weight and fight for the WBO paper belt against Cal.

Fans and the press didn't help the Taylor/Spinks fight, but still sold alot of tickets, it was a big arena and I say it was 75% full.

Like you said people were rooting for Spinks and guess what people in America will probably will root for Cal too, because Taylor is not really liked much.
