    As the HBO commentators stated: why fight anywhere else when you can sell out arena's with over 50K fans?...

      Yes. The money is huge in Vegas for one. More importantly, Hopkins is here waiting for him. Joe needs it.

      I hope Hopkins uses it as a HOMECOMING retirement fight. Hop can sell 60,000 in his hometown too. Have the fight at the LINC

          I agree with Boston guy. There is no need when your drawing that type of monster crowd.

              PPV generates money, not having 50K people buying cheap tickets for a fight.

              Besides Cal didn't even sell 10K before the Lacy fight.

                why should he? he could make alot more money in Europe and have a crowd 10 x's of that in the US. it should be US fighters bending over backwards to fight across the pond.

                  Let's have the fight in the garden....

                  Two throwbacks. Just like the old days.

                    Yes, Warren and Calzaghe alluded to as much after the fight. Calzaghe wants to fight for one more year and take on a big name in the States.
