    Watching Hopkins fight is like Water tourture. No one gives a **** about Hopkins regardless of accomplishments, even in America.

    350,000 and that fight wasn't sold out. Also I got the fight at the last minute just to see it. I regretted even buying that **** and I even bought Barrere vs Fana

    No its kind of sad, I actually wish it was in Wales so people could profit off this fight but, nevermind no I don't Calzaghe has to fight in America.

    No one in America knows who Joe Calzaghe is.

    Outside of hardcore boxing fans!

    Exactly. I asked some friends last night if they were going to watch the fight and they asked "Joe who?" Sounds silly to us but that's how it is in the real world.

    Hopkins has no fans. This would have easily packed out the Millenium Stadium, **** it couldve filled Wembley!!

    Not being funny mate, but Calzaghe is the only one selling the tickets, and his fans have to fly to the other side of the world.

    it is Hopkins' lack of popularity that is dogging the numbers, he is supposed to be the home fighter!

    No doubt. I was just agreeing that Calzaghe is not well known to the general public here in America.
