    19,000 in a vegas casino still earns the fighter more money than 50k in some arena in the UK. though that depends on weight class too.

    :rofl You're using ESB as an indicator of the American public's feelings about Europeans? I've been to a number of European countries. The people were great in every one of them. The only negativity I encountered were a few daft asses from Manchester and a teenager from Ireland who made anti-American remarks with respect to the Bush administration.

    lol, sorry you're right - I thought the stuff that came up about it on the scene related to boxing was a forum post. Calzaghe is a fool.

    I feel the need to state the NFL is the NATIONAL football league. If you really are complaining because the ring says "World Champions" then I'd say you're day isn't very active.

    wtf are you talking about? those africans were just decorations for the event. they just attended for some **** fee, probably free. mobutu sese seko put up all of the 5 million each, or split between, ali and foreman. casino's in the US do the same.

    and they make thier money in gatefees and cash takings. The fact is if you want atmosphere, you want electricity, you want epic....you go Britian.

    at the end of the day, fighters want to make as much bread as possible before they call it a career. **** the fans as far as they're concerned. obviously, atmosphere would be a hell of a thing to have for a fight. but it's not the atmosphere we watch is it?
