Golden Boy Pro Offers Calzaghe 16mil For Hopkins in USA

[SHB]

If this is genuine ..... and I have my doubts it is .... then this fight has just been agreed.

No way either Calzaghe or Warren turn this down. No way in hell.

[Verstyle]

He should take it if true.

Being that there's no source of this yet, I'll believe it when I see some proof.

However if this IS real, Joe has no merit to not take this fight. $16 million, are you ****ing serious? That's A TON of money, thats more than Floyd was guaranteed for the DLH fight, which I think was $10 million, right?

How the hell can Joe make 16 mil what will Bernard be making. This is horribly fishy in my eyes.

correct but keep in mind 16 mil is all they will be making. They will have no rewards of any extra profits that promoting and ppv will bring. Floyd had his share in all of that.

Like everyone else I want a source. But the $16 million isn't too fishy because Hopkins will probably make less in regards of initial pay, but would make a reasonable profit off of his shares in GBP. That is where the money is for Hopkins. IF this is true, then the only sticking point is Warren, who always stands to make far more then $2 million off of Joe's fights.

I read that was just wishful thinking but that the fight would more then likely take place in vegas. There's no doubt this fight will happen. It will take a little tug a war with money issues but defenitely will happen and in the usa. Calzaghe needs hopkins and gbp money more the hopkins and gbp need him

I see it the same way. There is alot of money and a lot of British fans.

i cant wait to see the source to this!

That's exactly what it is. They will make 16 million but nothing more nothing less. Hopkins stands to make alot more if ppv sales go well which they will,.

I say GBP should sweetin the deal a bit, $18million for Calzaghe and $4million for Warren. The PPV sales l would crack 400K in the states and if they pulled the same deal in England, they are looking at doubly that easy. GBP would substantial profits something similar to what Oscar got against Mayweather (I think Oscar made more than $40 million when all was said and done). Its a sweet deal for all involved. But then again, all of this is wishful thinking as of right now.
