Proof: No One Will Pay to See Calzaghe

[-Antonio-]

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.

Who the **** cares?! Since when did being a big draw matter? We get to see an important fight for free.

I swear Mayweather has polluted peoples' minds.

This just shows Hopkins is not popular in his home country. I'm American and I don't like him.

However, Joe is loved in Britain. They should have this fight in Wales, where they could draw 50,000 fans.

[MELLY-MEL...]

This, my friend, is proof that noone is paying to watch Hopkins fight in his own country. If the fight was in UK and PPV, everyone would pay to see Calzaghe.

Wow. Everyone's so sensitive. Ok. So no one will pay to see Bernard Hopkins... Jesus Christ. When I say "people" I mean "Americans." Who really cares about everyone else anyway. The British would cheer a turd sandwich if you put a Union Jack on it.

In all fairness to the thread starter, but what is the point of this thread?

Yea, "Americans" aren't paying money to see their own fighter.

[BrooklynBomber]

Does not change the fact that Calzaghe is a hell of a fighter.

And besides, America is not the whole world, contrary to what you been taught in schools.


Oh and it does not say much about Hopkins's drawing power either, heh?


BTW, is HappyBoxingFan an alt Dios Dominicano?
