    Bullshlt!

    When did a Ward fight ever generate that kinda money?
    Even with Slappy Joe generating the lions share of the loot, there's no way it will make enough to pay Calzaghe, Ward, the promotion and the organisation. Not with a guy who's retired for so long and probably not nearly enough to put up a competitive bout.

    Rumour has it he is worth $21m.

    Don't talk bull****. With Wards pulling power this fight doesn't even bring in $25m.

    There is not 25million in that fight.

    There's much more money in a Froch fight ironically. Both not happening.

    Yeah right, just like Lennox was offered 100 million to rematch Vitali.

    NO offense to Ward or Calzaghe, but what promoter in their right mind would offer 25 million to either of these guys?

    I don't think Ward has made over 2 or 3 million ever in a fight and I'm pretty sure Joe C never came close to sniffing 10 million in a fight. I call BS on this report.

    If Joe Cal weight drained himself down to 168 at this age of his life , Ward would blow him away in a few rounds.

    He could barely make the weight when he was active.

    He's gone forever.

    More chance of Lennox getting 200 millions than Joe getting 25!

    I met Joe last year, his head alone must weigh 5 stone!!! No way does he make SMW. He wasn't fat at all, looked pretty trim but he was a big guy. Maybe 15 stone.

    25 million lol. Calzaghe would never be able to command anything close to that.

    False rumors.

    Calzaghe quit for good reason and if he ever came back, it would be even worst for him getting KO'ed than Roy Jones.
