WHere's the PROMOTION for HOPKINS-CALZAGHE???

[Kball15]

The only ones doing anything to promote this fight are the fighters and their bad blood...

I havent seen or heard of anything otherwise.

This fight is really struggling to get those tickets out there. Not sold out yet somehow

thats cause its not ppv

o woops. well im trying to promote the fight!

Its not on PPV so the guys are probably more concerned about training rather than being out and about promoting a fight that people are going to watch regardless since they dont have to order it. Another thing is Calzaghe isnt really a name over here, so its not like seeing Calzaghe's face everywhere is going to gain interest.

well i think the fighters are doing a great job personally.

Its the PROMOTERS i have a problem with. Shouldn't they be out there promoting the fight? isnt that kinda in the job title...

I find it a little surprising.

You think this would be a legacy fight.

Hop-Wright didn't do that well and neither did Kessler-Calzaghe in the US.

It's fans like us that are going to make it something.

I thought Cal has a bunch of fans. Won't a lot be coming over?

Or no?

Why spend money on promotion, when there is going to be no kick back?, you have to think business. Its a big fight just because the names, why would golden boy spend millions of dollars promoting a fight thats going to be seen for free.

It's a ~20,000 seater. Not one fight in recent memory (doesn't include FLoyd-Hatton and DLH) could sell this in the US. Also the tickets are extremly expensive (250$ for the cheapest one).

Over 9000 fans will come from the UK. This is incredbile. Floyd MAyweather was p4p 1 and before DLH he couldn't sell 9K tickets in his hometown. Calzaghe has a huge, huge fanbase.

I see posters all over New York but I think more could and should have been done.
