only 7,000 tickets sold for Calzaghe/Jones

dam that sucks

 

And Joe is fighting Roy instead of Kelly because it was a "given" by all the geniuses here that he would obviously make a TON more money fighting Roy? What was he offered by Arum? Was that $10 million? :rofl

 

Haye-Barret isnt selling in Britain either mate

 

on how to meet the mat with His chin :good

 

Its no credit crunch, its the fact that Jones is shot and old, and most people know that this isnt a big fight because of that, no one is going to pay for it, or very few will pay for it.

 

I'm telling you, they have ******s running that network. There is actually a bunch of ******s running corporate America. Being dead serious, I could run HBO sports better than they guy they have there now. They seem to have very little in terms of common sense. If they applied Showtime's business model with their capital, they would be fine.

 

I tried to tell the Roy nuthuggers this but they did not want to listen.

Roy is not a draw and nobody in the States cares about Calzaghe.

They will end up giving away tickets to fill up the arena for television.

 

Let's face it, if the fight does not contain a strong mexican, puerto-rican appeal, the gates will be **** in the U.S.

Boxing should say a big ****-you to the spoiled americans who don't support the sweet science and host more fights abroad. How many times are we going to hear the "bad matchmaking" excuse from the U.S?

 

Don King is a promoter, most of the promoters now-a-days think that its promoting when they run a coule of tv ads starting a week out and people will line up a buy.

 

I've decided you aint worth shitting on anymore... cos you're full of it.

 

If it is the amount of blood you are after, then I suggest you stick to MMA dude. There you will get a better deal. Alternatively the local bar district should be a better deal as well.
