Calzaghe/Kessler does lowest ratings ever for HBO

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Kessler is better than Hopkins, that's all you need to hear.

Hopkins would confuse Kessler so much that Kessler would burst into tears in the ring.

Who cares about the gate revenue? he big bucks come from PPV buys. There's a reason why Bernard has still been consistenly put on PPV, and Calzaghe has never. People aren't dumb; they wouldn't continually put Bernard on PPV if he wasn't selling. You're putting too much emphasis on gate revenue.

These reports have conclusively proven that Hopkins gets more people to watch TV than does Calzaghe. LOWEST EVER... meaning that it was lower than any of the fights Hopkins had on HBO.

Answer me this, PPV is on a TELEVISION.

Right, you with me so far, Kaynan?

"TELEVISIONS" can pick up coverage from anywhere in the world, you keepin' up?

So IF this fight took place in Las Vegas, or even Wales.. these TELEVISIONS will allow any HBO subscriber to watch the fight, regardless of it's location.

I'm sorry I had to spell it out, this wasn't aimed at you in particular Kaynan, but it's simple logic, they can promote the fight anywhere in the world as it'll be on satelite television.

Confuse Kessler with what exactly? Hugging and headbutting?

Wouldn't happen, Kessler would dominate from the outside, Hopkins is so far past his physical peak that it's unbelievable how people are still bigging him up so much.

Thanks for the post. But um.. could you indicate where I talked about LOCATION in my post?

I guess his negotiations with Hopkins just took a downturn. He can't demand parity with B-Hop if he can't draw flies to ****.

You mentioned gate revenue like 3 times.

You were talking about PPV bringing in the most money, so what's the difference between the fight being in Wales or Las Vegas as it'll still be on PPV anyway?

All I'm saying is, regardless of how much money PPV earns in comparison to the gate revenue, 65,000 fans at the Millenium Stadium will still gather millions upon millions of dollars.

I agree completely- that's why I think you misunderstood my post. My argument wasn't the typical "Joe has to come to the US, lmao" type... I was just stating that iJoe isn't the bigger draw. Doesn't mean I wouldn't pick him in the fight.

Gate revenue has nothing to do with me saying that Joes shouldn't fight in Wales. I could care less about that.

My argument was saying that gate revenue is nothing compared to PPV buys. And Joe aint the one getting PPV buys-- evidenced by this thread's topic.

I was talking about Dios Domini****head saying how Hopkins would confuse Kessler reducing him to tears when I mentioned that.

B-Hop IS the bigger draw in the states, I completely agree with you, but the reason I'm suggesting it takes place in Wales is because B-Hop is nowhere near as big in the states as Calzaghe is in Great Britain, which is why a fight in the Millenium would be logical.

That's all I was saying.

PS. in response to the post above, Calzaghe's live audience would more than make up for his lack of PPV pulling powers.

Thanks for the post. But um.. could you indicate where I talked about LOCATION in my post?

well.

i guess the american audience would much rather pay to see fights like jermain taylor v corry spinks than an action packed fight like cal v kes.

joes a superstar in the world of boxing, who's rarely in a bad fight.

i dont understand why any boxing fan would not want to watch his fights.
