Kessler-Calzaghe September date in trouble

With all these negociations, I fail to see why HBO haven't played along and given possible dates for broadcasting this - this seems immensely stupid that the promoters have finally settled everything, and now HBO says: "We don't have open space for broadcasting this in sept" or whatever.

 

lol, are you saying that Enzo and Amir would make it more of a draw - or even make it more appealing?

The same people that cares about JC are the ones that follows those other two FW fighters. There would hardly be much of an addition.

FW and even JC recognizes this fight as a superfight that will surpass the Manfredo fight in terms of revenue. Do you think that he has calculated the prospect of having enzo and Amir on the undercard into that?

If they were to make the card more interesting, those two FW fighters shouldn't be on it, but should have US fighters to give more appeal to the US audience that cares little of the main event.


No what the prober thing to do would be to advertise this main event all over...

 

I wasn't talking about the economic side but the date schedule.

WTF - how can you say that JC vs Eubank was a bigger event - wtf was JC back then. A talented prospect. Noone outside GB cared about that event.

How can you say that Palle is making it tough, when you have agreed that Palle made FW an offer he couldnt refuse? If that was the case, then Palle is the gifted moneymaker, and FW is the apprentise - however - we do know that that is not the case.

HBO refused the 5 mil - ok - so what - they just tried to see if they could get that much - now they will try and fish for as much as they can get - afterall they are both businessmen.

 

I fail to see why you are slandering this fight from day one - and yet this is the topic in which you participates the most?. If you find it so unappealing - don't watch it. Don't participate.

Critique is okay, but what you are and have been doing is just silly.

 

Blocky is all about sillyness.:yep

 

Well it doesn't hurt to put those in, but given them the amount of money that you have suggested earlier is not worth it.

If the casual fans dont give a **** about the main event they simply won't pay for it. If they are more into Tyson type of fights, then they will pay for something else regardless of Amir or Enzo.

The last statement just makes me laugh, because you are just slinging out random numbers that doesn't even agree with your earlier statements: 15 mil, 13 mil, now 8 mil.

Well if Kessler won't make the money, the fight will be off - and no one would blame him for it.

 

Okay, then its very good we have one such as you to show us how to put everything into the proper perspective. We owe you tons. Thank you.

I am sorry that we are overrating Kessler so much - seemingly it has affected JC as well, as he sees this fight as his toughest fight.

 

And JC has that mainstream appeal, and Kessler has so much more than JC had back then. Instead of one draw(Eubank), we have two fighters.

Well if the date hinders the potentiality of money generation, due to the schedule of other fights they should have stated so long ago - there have been given 3 possible dates long ago;July, September and November. I dont think that HBO has been sleeping in the classroom, while negotiations have taken place.

They are just businessmen as well, and if they see the fight is in jeopardy they will agree to what will be a win/win/win situation. I predict they will go for 3.5-4 mil and that would be enough.

 

I just think he likes to provoke.

 

Yes, and post fake photographs in the meantime.

 

:yep

 

- though at the time it seemed prober to shut the Dempsey idiot up. A bit of lying for the sake of that is okay in my book.

However to continue to uphold the facade while being exposed seems - well silly.

 

Yes, their worship of prehistoric fighters is ridiculous, I mean christ, do they not see the evident advancements in skill level? If you took a time machine and threw Harry Greb in with Kessler flat out, it would end with a Kessler KO 1.

I rate the old timers for historical sake and era/era only and I do know a good bit about them.

Blocky is still a ****ing insecure idiot though, his little photo posting event just made it that much more entertaining.

 

I completely agree - I respect the older fighters as they should - just like in any other sport, even if the skill levels of course have increased massively. Just look at football(soccer) from the era of just say recent like Ian Rush(Liverpool) they were great for that time, but when we view it today, it seems like they are walking in comparison, and its in slow motion.

The talent has not increased, just the methods, requirements and competition level.

I dont know if Blocky is insecure - but he does come out biting like Cujo very often.

 

By the way DP, I am providing Margarito with an adequate thrashing(backed up by solid arguments) in the other thread, feel free to join in.
