    2.31 million ppv buys! Surpasses DLH/Floyd! Roy and Calzaghe are box office gold. That HBO Countdown Show works wonders for fight hype!

    2.31 is only the early estimate, Jake. The 2.4 mill set by DLH/Floyd was the finally tally.
    Wait a month. I say Jones/Calzaghe breaks 2.5 mill.

    This fight didn't even do 500K buys, unless you have a link.

    Are you thick? We're not talking about domestic sh*t. We're talking about worldwide! That means the whole f*cking planet! Calzahge is god in Wales and the europeans follow him around while Jones is an american enigma. Of course this fight will break all kinds of box office!

    That's what your dad said upon seeing you after the nurses said "You have a Boy!"

    It was ppv in other parts. Setanta is a subscription channel and offered even on my provider but they won't show free boxing.
