    10%? 4 million watched, and there are 70 million in Britain.

      Maybe all parties want a warm up as it's his first time in the US, but against a big name in order to increase his appeal for a bigger name? About the only logic I can think of. Saying that, if you've fought in Germany I'm not sure going to any other country will hold out too many fears ....

        60 last time I checked, and it was about 5 million wasn't it? Ok, just short of 10%.

          4 million put ITV on at some point during Calzaghe's fight, and this was prime time.

          Compare to Eubank demanding 20 million every time out, when population was less. But maybe that's an unfair comparison Eubank was a complete one-off.

            Die-hard internet boxing fans need to leave their bedroom's sometimes.

              The same could've been said about Hatton wanting to fight Gatti after PBF thrashed him but if Gatti would've beaten Baldomir Hatton would jumped on the Gatti fight 1-2-3.

              I think many fighters like Hatton and Calz wish to first make big initial splashes on the American scene with a big American name to build up there own name recognition in America.

                Could it be that my boy has helped kill a fledging terrestial audience? I guess we'll find out when Audley comes back in December... he perhaps promotes a career spike from people who want to see him get KO'd. Tupac, Tupac!
                audley will do the bussiness and beat skelton so bad that everyone will demand danny vs audley 2

                    Lose-lose situaton for Calzaghe. A waste of time.
