with $1.2 mill the biggest, i guess $2 million would be realistic to fight jermain over here!!

I think it was £1.2m (GBP not US Dollars).

£1.2m ~ $2.25m which was for a no risk fight so I would imagine that he'd be looking for more than that

i have a hard time seeing him getting more than $2.5 million from HBO since he has only fought on there once! the lacy win was very impressive but showtime doesnt have near as big an audience as HBO does!! joe's really not well known enuf over here to be on PPV either & i dont expect beating the guy (manfredo) who only finished 2nd on "the contender" will do a whole lot for his resume'...

if he does it in the UK, as expected, it won't do a huge amount in making him known in America.

1.2m i believe it was.

i remember calzaghe saying that his purse wasn't very big for the lacy fight.
