only 7,000 tickets sold for Calzaghe/Jones

Coming to the USA has always been overrated, as long as you fight top 5 opponents you will go down favourably in boxing history, location notwithstanding. :good

 

Joe isn't known here. So people saying it's 5 years too late I think are wrong. Five years ago would have made little difference. Yes, the numbers would be up because Jones was something then but Joe is unknown in the states.

 

The fight derserves no big house. Possibly Missmatch and minimum 5 years too late. i wonder if JC is serious, if he says that this is his biggest fight. Jones is a LH-Top10 with a name. Nothing more.

 

Americans don't wanna buck up to see a foreigner beat on one of their past prime legends.

 

They are not stupid, just very ignorant. They lack the proper education.

I personally think it is a farce that the average American lacks any general knowledge in terms of countries outwith their own. That is not me having a dig at my friends across the sea, just pointing out the obvious. It is one thing having a high level of nationalism, but at times they border on a Nazi Germany Superior Mentality.
