I was amazed that they managed to draw a 35k crow, that was massive. Has Calazages drawing power gone through the roof? Or is the accumulation of Calazage, contender media attention, Khan, Big Mac, Jennings?

Anyone have an idea of how much the crowd was worth, how much Calazage made?

Now wonder Calazage won't go 50-50 with Kessler when he draws far more and probably make around 50% or twice as much more than Kessler

Surely the Lacy win had a lot to do with it, in conjunction with the publicity that goes with The Contender and of course Khan. Hasn't Joe become a bit of a Welsh hero after Lacy?

I'm curious how much Calzaghe made.

But won't the awful show have an effect on his draw in the future...

Yes I think the Lacy fight has propped up his standing allot. 35k is obscene numbers, what was Hattons highest draw 18k? I don't think they can blame Joe for the Manfredo blast out too much, I may help his aura of invinsability.

A big fight should draw even more fans out though. A Kessler/Taylor at the milenium stadium would really sell out.

I wonder who he'll fight in July. Taylor's occupied, so are Wright & Hopkins, so too is Glen Johnson I believe. My guess is Hanshaw, but I get the feeling Gary Shaw won't want to come over here again after the Lacy beatdown. Joe could fight Hanshaw in America.

I don't think they'll choose the Millennium until it's another big event. Say, a routine title defense, that wouldn't be grand enough, surely?

What is Mr. Froch doing in July? - Only kidding it wont happen, but if it did wow!!!

who knows, they'll have to bring in someone respectable. Perhaps get the WBO top contender out of the way now, because they certainly want to keep the WBO super middle belt. Might save a lot of hassle if they choose Inkin. Otherwise they'll be inless control of what they're doing.

funny but i wondered how much money came thru the turnstiles last night and just before i fell asleep i reckoned on a cool million. possibly a million and a bit. hope all the fighters were well paid

whats miranda doing in the summer???

calzaghe and warren together; "oh, he's far too busy"
