Boxer Joe Calzaghe's chance of fighting Jermain Taylor improves
Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe's chance of a high profile super-fight with American fighter Jermain Taylor is improving all the time and looks set to happen in future.
Boxing promoter Frank Warren had offered Jermain Taylor $4m, however, his mangement said they wanted $10m.
But things have changed it seems and now it is reported that Jermain Taylor's promoter Lou DiBella said they were now prepared to accept $6m.
Lou DiBella explained: "A $4m offer was ridiculous and frankly Frank asked for more money guaranteed on Joe's side."
Joe Calzaghe, 35, will be ringside in Memphis on 19 May to watch Jermain Taylor defend his WBC and WBO titles.
Jermain Taylor had won these titles from Bernard Hopkins and also earned $6m from his draw against Ronald "Winky" Wright last June setting the money standard his camp are now asking for.
