    There seems to be some rumours of Vegas not New York now.

    I thought it was supposed to announced soon enough. I'd imagine it'll be in New York so Calzaghe can ***** himself out to the Italian Community!!

    not sure how many fans calzaghe brings to the table in america.

    i would guess 3,000 to 10,000 max but not enough to sell out an american stadium and it will be down to hopkins drawing power if they go for a big arena in america.

    after the hatton fight though and the reported huge ppv numbers its possible sky will wnat to get involved with warren again and if they do then location even country might come into play as sky did bigger numbers than american tv if the figures are right and they might be thinking calzaghe v hopkins in the uk is worth more to them than the same fight for hbo in america.
