BIG talks are going on fore the fight, which DAN RAFAEL said in his NOTEBOOK today... and it might be FREE ON HBO!!!!
I was takin back, so i was lookin around the internet for more info, and it is in fact very true that HBO really wants this fight to be FREE on HBO...
Although, if it was to be moved off of PPV, then the fight would be delayed a week in April... a welcome sacrifice

Negotiations for an April fight between light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins and super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe are expected to wrap up any day and they could yield a sweet bonus for fans. The bout was originally planned for April 12 as a $49.95 HBO PPV fight. However, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaeffer told ESPN.com that the fight could move to April 19 and off PPV. "I am working very hard to try to do the Hopkins fight live on HBO," he said. HBO is interested, offering about $6 million, which is close to what the promotion would net if the fight was on PPV and did 250,000 buys.
