    I like this idea. Hopkins fights the winner in the rematch? At 45 you say? Alright!

    =/

    Well on the plus side, maybe they will make Marquez-Casamayor non PPV now.

        They should just put Casamayor-Marquez on the undercard of Jones-Calzaghe.

        HBO will be Headed By Oscar soon enough.

          HBO did the same thing for Wright vs Quartey. They made Wink hire Golden Boy as the lead promoter. It was that, or they wouldn't give him the date.

            I agree with that, or even put the Marquez fight on the same card as Diaz vs Katsidis. I can' think of many hardcore boxing fans buying back to back ppv's.

                Jones-Calzaghe would sell more so Marquez-Casamayor on the undercard would be more logical.

                  true but Marquez/Casamayor is a better fight than Jones/Calzaghe

                    Not really, Marquez vs Casamayor has a big possibility of becoming a dull fight because of their styles.
