    You still haven't actually produced any facts.

    You can ramble and dissemble all you like, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

    Your claim is that 'Bruno, McGuigan, Eubank, Benn and Collins' all made more money in their careers than Calzaghe.

    I'm mean, I'm giving you an easy ride here, because your initial claim was that fighters in the 80's made more money than todays fighters pushed onto PPV. Calzaghe, of course, never fought on PPV in the UK. If you really want to back up your claim, we'll need evidence of McGuigan out-earning Hatton, or Collins earning more than Lewis....

    Silly response and now you're trying to deflect statements away whilst blissfully ignoring my inflationary comparison. You know full well Jones was Calzaghe's goodbye cash cow and his biggest fight whereas McClellan wasn't even Benn's final fight nor his biggest. ****, if Benn had fought Jones he'd have got that much and more!

    Wanna see what Calzaghe got for Hopkins?

    ZERO! (but he should have got £1.8 million - Warren folded SN rather than payup)

    You think he netted more vs Kessler? Bika? Manfredo? Veit? Mitchell!?!?

    Benn fought Eubank twice. McClellan. Collins twice and was avidly followed by millions every time he fought. Calzaghe *never* had the appeal of Benn/Eubank because he didn't have the exposure that's a common fact.

    Not ignoring it at all, you're free to massage the figures as you like, when you finally find some...

    How many of these funny user names are we going to have to suffer from Primetime. Seriously we like to get info but we'd rather you didn't pose as fans, let alone with three different user names! :patsch

    Shut it Noobie.You should be interested in it since your company has a vested interest in the revenue.

    Can "primetimelive" tell me why there is an additional registration fee of £2.50? It's not as if you have to send tickets out like with concerts. The total cost will be a minimum of £15.45 (which is even more than SKY charge), so it sounds like a bit of a con to me.

    How do I subscribe if I'm a Virgin..............media subscriber? It seems to be set up for SKY customers only?

    Clubber Lang is spot on. I was going to sign up but I don't see why I should pay £2.50 to 'register'. I'd rather they said it was £15 full stop than trying to con us when we're sticking our card details in for another £2.50. Its just a web page registration
