        OH GOD! Why didn't you tell them that sooner? They would have had it in Philadelphia or New York for sure!

                Actually it was Hopkins who was talking Yankee Stadium and Bob Arum basically laughed at him and Golden Boy and said your ****ing nuts.

                As a couple folks have already stated this fight probably should have been in NY probably MSG...Calzaghe probably would have had double the fan base there...I bet that went into the equation of where the ultimate site was from GBP standpoint.

                    Ticket prices were really high from what I hear, Calzaghe and Hopkins are no Delahoya vs Mayweather when it comes to charging the prices they are charging.

                    If this fight was in the UK it would have sold out 70,000 tickets no doubt, but they will make more money from the crowd of 10,000 here.

                                Hopkins is a legend... he's just a boring legend that happens to be a prick. that usually doesnt win you fans.

                                Hopkins has had twice the career that Calzaghe has had

                                    Do you guys think it can surpass the julio cesar chavez.Evander and pacquiao vs morales crowds at thomas and mack?

                                    those fights sold out the thomas and mack.
