    Joe said he doesn't want Bhop again as he said it's a boring fight for the fans.

    80/20 of any fight in Wales is a **** load of money...especially considering boxing is up the **** now and their aint nothing left for Joe C.

    Im still unsure. Bit wary of JMM after some things in the Casa fight and I rate Diaz and feel he'll penetrate inside JMM with his size. I would love JMM to win but Im starting to really enjoy watching Diaz, this is definetely one where I hate to see a loser.

    Joe didn't enjoy fighting BHop and I reckon he'd be worried about more than just his fans.

    Same i was very hard on diaz up until he took out Julio Diaz, and abit from the F?reitas fight, but he is a good fighter.

    Same as well i never used to enjoy his fights up until those two.
    Now im a fan, but i like JMM that much more.

    I disagree. A Calzaghe fight in Wales draws a crowed of 50k and anyone who isnt there sitting there ass infront of a TV watching... 80% of that is big money any way you wanna look at it.

    The fight wouldn't be a PPV, and that's the problem. The money is in PPV.

    Calzaghe's ppv numbers are very ordinary in the US by all reports. His whole whine about the state of the game is because he doesn't have a ppv name to fight.


    I think he wants to retire undefeated.

    I don't doubt that for a second, but it's still the major source of revenue for him. I'm a big fan of Chad's, but the best fight out there for him right now is Glen Johnson again.

    He might wanna retire undefeated or he may even be thinking he'll let Dawson build his resume and earn a punt load more in a bit over a year's time, when the public is calling for it, not just hardcore boxing fans.

    Pac v Hatton almost a done deal for May 2. Thomas and Mack Centre Vegas.

    That's a hard fight to pick. Hatton I think.

    Interesting battle, I was fans of both but after there last fights both there stocks have risen, I think Pac's left would eventually hurt Hitman quite badly, late KO to Manny

    How many they get in Wales for the fight would not equate into money made. The mail I have on Calzaghe's last 50k+ crowd is that most were give away tickets. Radio promos etc
