From 7DAYS in Dubai-
"I`ll go with Hopkins, for the simple fact that Joe Calzaghe is due a loss. I`m sure this Hopkins will want to be known and remembered as a legend in the business, and the one person who can define that for him is Joe Calzaghe.
"I won`t have Joe retiring unbeaten - it doesn`t work like that."
BHops gameplan ?
"Hopkins would need to hit the body hard for five rounds. But Calzaghe is so, so awkward."
Says dubai waiting for boom
"Dubai is the future of boxing - we make Vegas look like Pigeon Forge. We`ve got the biggest hotels in the world here; thus the biggest casinos and excellent exchange rates.
"I`m proud I was the one who set the ball rolling all those years ago, and it`s only waiting to accelerate."
When he dipped his hand in promotin briefly-
"I never made a dime from my promotion at The Aviation Club. It was a mistake in having no contracts with Shiek Hamdan, who had appointed Merser Al Fayegh to help coordinate the promotion.
"Al Fayegh did little but knock back brandys - that I was paying for - like they were orange juice. I still haven`t been able to search him down.
"People knew we were promoting in the dark and I hold my hand up in admitting that I was wrong. Eleven years on, I continue to wait patiently for my financial ruminants.
"Anyway, it was a exhausting promotion. Apart from promoting the fight, I had to acclimatise, train, avoid illness, pay for flights for all the fighters, trainers, doctors, matchmakers and British Boxing Board of Control officials; pay for hotels for all the fighters, trainers, doctors, matchmakers and British Boxing Board of Control officials; pay for food for all the fighters, trainers, doctors, matchmakers and British Boxing Board of Control officials, and pay all the fighters, trainers, doctors, matchmakers and British Board of Control officials.
"It was history in the making - this was the first ever professional boxing match in the country. The objective was to entertain the underprivileged."
(Warren ??)
"It`s a traditionally dirty business. A London promoter still owes me £800 from February 1989 over a television rights deal. He broke a promise. So I vowed never to work with this particular promoter again, and never did.
"Ignorance can insult, too. As hard as my manager Barry Hearn tried, he couldn`t convince American-TV that I`d do any better than Nigel Benn`s earlier victims. So Eubank-Benn one wasn`t screened on American television, and so I vowed never to sign with American-TV, and never did."
"I`m a victim. When I sold my house in England and the land next door, I thought I made a killing. The person I sold it to then resold it to developers that are now putting flats and houses on the land for around 10 - 15 times more than I got."

"He is the only fighter I`d go out of my way to watch. He has the most artistic edge about his work."
