Calzaghe Kessler won't happen?

[LemonChiff]

so what you are saying is, the 'black' ppl bring the money to the table?

American TV bring money to the table if they choose.

[*2TOUGH*]

And get these hideously big purse demands from where??

I don't know about Kessler, but Calzaghe's biggest career-purse so far is £900,000 against Manfredo, and Kessler is a zero name compared to Manfredo in Britain and America so I don't understand why Calzaghe would expect more money to fight this Kessler.

Calzaghe aint even rich then?

[*2TOUGH*]

WBC/WBO/UNDISPUTED Titles on the line, they SHOULD pay and PROMOTE this fight heavily!! Winky vs Jermaine got about 5mill each.

He's made around £5million in his career and lives in a fairly modest home by those standards and wears modest clothes etc, so yes he is rich.

I thought that was the object of the Manfredo fight! To make Calzaghe a big name in America. Obviously it didn't work? What a pointless waste of time then

twatting ref stopped it early... Calzaghe would have been big if it last 2-3 more rounds.

£5 mill for 21 defenses? and being undisputed? thats nothing compared to winky or taylor?? or hopkins?

But winky and taylor and hopkins fight the best. Calzaghe hasn't over his whole career.

I don't know about the Yanks but they've obviously got American TV money and American PPV and ****

Warren said Calzaghe has £6 million wealth, which is around $12 million. That is kind of **** for a world champion. De La Hoya made more in just 1 fight.

Its Calzaghe's fault, he was offered some modelling thing he could have got with Calvin Klein, but was not interested.

warren is currently the one dealing with the hbo, previous hbo have stated they would give 3 mill dollar and furhtermore said that they wanted this fight..

as of now, palle offered calzaghe 5.5 to fight in dk, but apparently the fight would generate more money in britain for all parties involved. therefore warren is currently dealing with hbo, and trying to squeeze everything out of hbo by asking for 5 mill.. for christ sake they are negotiating, such things doesnt just get done overnight

so this **** about the fight not happening is simply put, nothing but SPECULATION..

there are so many signs pointing in the diretion of this fight happening, and if you did a pro and con list, it would be massively point in the direction of a fight
