Calzaghe: "Americans are ignorant"

He's just trying to hype the fight a little more.

 

Sorry, but America isn't the Mecca of boxing, its the biggest market but it doesn't have the kind of attraction and pull for fighters that it did when boxing was a mainstream sport in the US. The simple truth is that there is no Mecca of boxing anywhere at the moment. There is the US scene, the German scene, the UK scene and a few much smaller ones here and there. I think the word is "disparate".

 

Irony...

 

edit

 

Compare the General forum to the British forum within any boxing site & it gives you a clear idea of who's dumber & more ignorant.

 

why do people even take what boxers say seriously. its all for gain or pain.

 

Cue quips about americans and irony.

 

For money fights against Americans...

Americans cant travel for some reason they need home advantage, makes them feel all warm inside.:yep

Seriously though, **** thread.

 

Alright, you do have a point there and I may be wrong.

Although, I would point out that Muslims don't make pilgrimage to Mecca for the $$.

And the US certainly doesn't have the kind of pull it used to for fighters because they can carve out a pretty decent career and living for themselves on the UK or German markets, or the "Euro market" if you like.

Germany is probablly the only major country where boxing is a mainstream sport on primetime TV - not sure the US can offer that kind of exposure anymore.

Calzaghe only came to the US towards the end of his career for big pay days.

 

Shut up you Nazi **** lover.

 

Get out of here with that nonsense. What about Hatton, Kessler, Haye, and Khan? All are overhyped Euros. You act like Euros are dead right on all of their fighters. And Dawson is hardly a limited fighter. You are truly ignorant if you believe that.

 

Hatton still has his fans though, where have the Lacy fans gone?

 

Bull****, they are all hyped to death.
