    this fight should have taken place in the uk.

    hopkins is not a draw in the usa, the money for each fighter could have been the same in the uk and it would have been much more of a spectacle.

    ihave seen a report that DLH is actually handing back millions of dollars to the event holders to try and get them to hold boxing events in the future as at the moment they are saying they are in for a 5 million loss .

    hopkins has only sold 6 or 7 thousand tickets to the american public at the moment, with just 1 day left to the fight.

    calzaghe has done bigger numbers than hopkins despite the fact the fight is in america.

    surely it would have been a better more anticipated spectacle in the uk where putting 60,000 bums on seats would have not been a problem.

    i would prefer if boxing promoters in the usa held there boxing events where the boxers they promote come from.

    to use an anology
    if a basketball team from texas was playing a basketball team from new england why would they play it in nevada .

    yep i understand venues pay the promoters money and so promoter does not have to take any risks, but in the long run it is and has hurt american boxing and will continue to do so until they return boxing to the american fans.

    I can't imagine Hopkins being brave enough to fight Calzaghe in the UK

    One fight in Ecuador and then that's it.

    Calzaghe is fighting Hopkins on Hops home ground. Would Hopkins have come to Wales? No way. He's a *****

    if hopkins fought in the uk at his 54 fights he would undefeated, lets not act like the same level of fighters are the same in the uk.stop watching the bhop joe cal hbo countdown.

    you think hatton would have went 44 - 0 in the us, um no !

    besides hopkins has fought outside the us a few times and a few is still more then none.so its joe's turn, its been his turn.

    Hopkins has fought outside the US twice and Calzaghe has fought outside the UK twice.

    What are you talking about? Hatton hasn't fought a British fighter since 2002.

    mayweather would be undefeated in uk, and he would be unknown in the usa
    were it counts.

    sorry wankers get mad all you want, but i did not make the rules but i do know how the game is played.

    in the words of hopkins, its just the way it is :good
