The Joe Calzaghe and GBP Deal...

When you run out of points to argue against, you just deny it ever happened.

Real smart.

But the fact of the matter is, we heard it from the horses mouth himself, refuse to believe it all you want, it's clear to see that Zaghe wants the fight more than Hopkins, so I doubt he'd lie for the sake of not fighting Hopkins.

hopkins is not giving any opponent of his more money than he is gonna make,[except oscar],it's that thinking that never made rematches with trinidad and jones not happen

I refuse to believe they offered him such a bad deal. I mean when has Golden Boy Promotions not got a fight done due to money? These guys have have put differences aside to make fights with other promoters and now all of a sudden Calzaghe is being insulted by an offer. Do yall really believe Oscar and GBP are trying to short Joe? I think its obvious he just doesnt know his worth over here (not much by the way) and will use something like this to spare him a real challenge.

Calzaghe just fought Kessler so clearly he is not scared of a challenge.

Deny what ever happend? How does he want the fight more if he got an offer and turned it down? Im just saying these guys have put together many mega fights, do yall really believe Joe wasnt getting a fair deal.

yes, yes I do. Anyway it's not over yet. That's the beauty of negotiation. It just seems unlikely the fight will get made, 'Nard is a tough negotiator and Joe wants paydays.

Youre right, it is in the negotiations process, i just hate how Calzaghe runs to the media to act like Hop is scared, when hes the one turning down the fight as of now.

Thread starter suffers from autism and his mother definitely took a few body slams while he was still in the womb.
