Actually, he didn't say that, but apparently anyone who says that
"Joe and I will go where the money is at. I believe right now that European money is stronger than the dollar."
is apparently racist and anti-American.

Bernard Hopkins has said the the only way he will return to the ring at the age of 44 is if Joe Calzaghe agrees to give him a rematch.
Calzaghe has been insistent that he does not want to fight Hopkins again despite the obvious financial rewards and an opportunity to end his career on home soil at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
The Executioner remains hopeful though and speaking when asked if he would now retire on a Live ESPN chat, he answered: "Maybe not, if Joe Calzaghe and I can come to an agreement to fight in spring or summer.
"That's the only fight that means something to boxing or myself. But Joe has to be willing to fight and make it happen.
"I propose to my handlers and negotiators. Joe and I will go where the money is at. I believe right now that European money is stronger than the dollar. I would fight anywhere. No problem. I suggested that, as a matter of fact.
"Hopefully Bernard will be fighting Joe Calzaghe and leave the game on top in 2009 at 44 years old."
