    Joe Calzaghe is being offered a final £10million payday to face middleweight king Kelly Pavlik.
    Pavlik, who fights Calzaghe's stablemate Gary Lockett tonight at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, wants the Welshman next.
    Pavlik's promoter Bob Arum is speaking to Frank Warren about arranging a showdown between the two unbeaten champions on November 15 in what could be Calzaghe's last fight.
    Wbc and WBO title holder Pavlik is prepared to step up to super-middleweight to take on the undisputed king of 168lbs, although he would prefer the fight to be in America.
    "Joe Calzaghe is one of our generation's greatest champions," said the American. "He's a fighter who seems to get better as he gets older. He is a true great and I certainly wouldn't mind challenging him."



    I found this on a UK website.

    Its all up to Joe it seems​

    Maybe I just have an irrational prejudice, because the only time I ever went to Warren was to visit my brother when he was locked up. But what I've seen of Warren is an absolute **** hole.

    Northeast Ohio in general is pretty shitty. Just out of curiosity are you a Browns fan or a Steelers fan?

    Not to interrupt this cool conversation but that's one hell of an offer Joe is getting, hope he takes it now that it's pretty clear this fight is getting closer.

    Youngstown is ****ing packed with Steelers fans. I almost couldn't root for him when I heard he was from Youngstown, then I found out he was a Browns fan and he became my favorite fighter.

    Wonder how I missed it, that also means that Calzaghe said recently since this offer is old that he would rather fight Roy Jones instead.
