Does anyone know if JC's fight is PPV? And if you don't have Setanta do you have to subscribe and then pay for the fight on top of that, i.e. you can't just pay for the fight itself?

Its going be bloody expensive if that is the case

I might just listen to it on the wireless, bring back all those Bruno v Tyson memories. Although, I actually listened to the last Hatton fight in a bar on the Isle of Man and it came across really well.

All you'll miss out on is seeing Pavlik, Kessler and Popkins ringside itching to get Joe back in the ring.

Assuming it is his last fight, I really want to see it.

It is made all the worse, the fact my brother has corporate tickets to watch it ringside!!

You just subscribe to setanta for a minimum of 2 months. There is no pay per view fee.

Google Setanta discount codes. I got mine for £2.99p/m for the first 3 months.

If you dont have santana, then it will be ppv, but you can probably get the channel for a minimum term, as has already been said on here! Its going to be a good one!punchbounce

Thats a good deal. The only thing that puts me off Setanta is the horror stories when it comes to cancelling.
JustinTv will be showing it over the net.

I really want Calzaghe to win this and I think if it goes the distance he will. RJJ hits harder than Hopkins though.

At the moment I'm sat on the fence. In their primes Roy Jones would have scored a UD over Calzaghe however I don't think it would have been a complete walk over.

However, take a look at RJJ's last 3 fights and you may even start believing that Calzaghe wins this one by stoppage.

Believe it or not Calzaghe used to possess quite abit of punching power which can almost be proved by the fact that he won 20 of his first 21 fights by KO on paper, however most of these were by stoppage or were infact TKOs. Anyway, he was actually advised against becoming a pro because he has brittle hands but he stuck around and adapted his style to suit his hands.

I almost get the feeling that if he knows this is going to be his last fight, what's to stop him going all out even if he damages his hands for good?

At this stage in their careers I can't see anything other than a Calzaghe win unless of course Jones reverts back to a fighter that we haven't seen in 5 years and let us not forget, stranger things have happened!

I'll be watching with great interest.

Just to confirm, even though Setanta are a right shower (many people have cancellation nightmares) at least they don't screw subscribers for additional PPV fees like MurdochVision.

What time does the fight start? I'm glad its in NYC and not Vegas, at least it might be at a respectable hour.

Program is on from 11pm, till 5 am! The main fight will probably kick off about 3am, with either the undercard on beforehand, or be a bunch of guys in the studio waffling for hours!

cracking match up but should have happened 5 or 6 years ago.2004-jones gets flattened by glen johnson and the wheels are off.prior to this he was considered superhuman after his exploits at heavyweight.however after his three losses has comeback in a fashion i would not have expected.lokk at his last three fights for this confirmation.prince badi ajamu,anthony hanshaw and finally tito trinidad by ko.so jones is on a winning streak and raising eyebrows with his handspeed of old.his recent good form is what got him this match but an old and overweight ring rusty tito aint no calzaghe.joe by points or late stoppage i think,but with jones`s recent good form it will be a competitive fight i am sure.

I think its 4.15 start time which is ridiculous. It would have been about the same in Vegas so dont understand it. Doubt I can stay awake until then Im struggling now!
