By Jake Donovan - As has become par for the course in recent times, insert Golden Boy Promotions' name, and everyone screams conspiracy. The latest scandal has the Left Coast-based company reportedly trying to worm its way into the promotion end for a potential pay-per-view showdown between pound for pound greats of yesterday (Roy Jones Jr.) and today (Joe Calzaghe).
Calzaghe, considered to be no worse than among the world's two best active fighters in the world, recently became the biggest free agent in the sport, having bolted from long time promoter Frank Warren, under whom he's served his entire professional career. The news came shortly before reports indicated that a long-awaited showdown with Jones was closer than ever to becoming a reality.
Some reports have September 20 listed as the target date, while others have suggested the bout will serve as the main attraction for November, one of the premium months of the sport and television in general, with the month's programming referred to as "sweeps" season. [details]
