    Did RJJ's trainer accuse Joe of slapping like a girl? :lol: Who is hot with the public right now? Not RJJ. Boxing is not really popular in the states. I live in Pavlik's home town, if it wasn't for Kelly there would be NO boxing news, tv or paper. And what we do get is all Kelly related.

    Hopkins was NOT hot with the public. No one cared about him at all. More people wanted to see Joe than BunnyHop. Arum kept Kelly off PPV in this last fight specifically for name recognition.

    Dear newbie.

    Anyone can post on here, regardless of how poor they are in the English or brains departments.

    But you might want to read what you've written before hitting submit, just to see if it makes sense.

    If you're confident that Kelly would KO Joe, why would you give a flying **** where the fight takes place?

    I really hope you don't think Pavlik is a PPV draw .I can't imagine this fight doing over 300 k if it were on ppv ..They would be better off putting this on HBO .

    Just saying I don't think Jones would be a bigger draw right now. HBO might be willing to hype this one though.

    Roy Jones vs Joe Calzaghe will do over 500 k did you see the numbers for his fight with Trinidad ? I don't think Kelly brings anything close to that ..Not to say people wouldn't watch it but ppv I doubt it does well..

    Excellent post. I'm feeling a bit more confident myself that Joe will risk it all & go after this one. Plenty of $$$ to be made for all.

    :good

    Biased post. Run a poll & ask who do you want to see, or which fight would you pay BIG PPV $$$ to see? JC vs KP or JC vs RJJ? I gaurentee you Joe fighting Kelly will be a landslide. Like people are recogizing, Pavlik is a hot ticket, exciting fighter, fans expect a KO, thats what they want.

    Joe "The Snake" Calzaghe vs Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik" will dwarf all previous PPV events. People will kill to see this fight.

    Can't believe this has a good possibilty to happen.

    :D
