Calzaghe was offered less than $4 million

The Welsh hero has received a firm offer to make his American debut against boxing superstar Hopkins – but Calzaghe has rejected the bid from Golden Boy Promotions, owned by boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya, as it didn’t make ‘business sense’.

Calzaghe claims Hopkins’ offer was less than his £2m career-high payday from defeating Mikkel Kessler to become undisputed super-middleweight king in Cardiff last month.

Hopkins must be crazy if he thinks Calzaghe should get less than $4 million. considering he made more by fighting Kessler at home.

Calzaghe only has a few fights left, why should he accept less to fight some dinosaur like Hopkins who is just going to throw headbutts and elbows all night

Hopkins can go **** himself. A few people saw this one coming, Hopkins making a derisory offer that Calzaghe has no option but to turn down.

calz should take it just 2 show hopkins ..they did that on purpose cheap ****s

[MickyHatton]

Its one way of not having to fight. Isn't it?

Why should a fighter like Calzaghe have to travel and fight for that?

What an appalling offer and truely disrepectful. Oscar and Hopkins should be have stinging nettles rammed up their arses.

The figure of less than$4million was from a welsh newspaper that interviewed Calzaghe.
