Has there been any yet and is there any coverage of them?? If not when and where are they??
Also will there be a 24/7 for the fight or is that just a 'Mayweather' thing?!

No, this fight won't even be on PPV. So they are definately not doing a 24/7 miniseries. It might get a one 1/2 hour countdown special though.

Let me tell you something: neither GBP nor HBO confirmed that it's officialy on!
There was a press conferance in London a few day ago but that was made by Frank ****** and nobody of the US team or US television was there.
It's a bit strange but as far as I know there will be a press tour actually just they're not sure when.

Bernard Hopkins will be at the London press conference tomorrow to promote the Calzaghe fight and Joe will travel to the states next week for the Vegas/New York & Phili pressers.

I hope HBO promotes this thing right! If they do, and Joe can get past Hopkins, it sets up a BIG PPV fight at the end of the year against Roy Jones! Could be a superfight!!!
Calzaghe v Jones a superfight? Now thats so funny I can't even laugh.

The sad thing is some people would buy into it.

The reason Calzaghe hasn't given up his supermiddle belts is cos Taylor-Calz is set for the summer for the undisputed supermiddle title. Calzaghe is willing to have one more fight at 168, whilst in the meantime he's hoping Jones beats someone of merit in the 168-75 range. At the moment he knows he'd be in a no-win situation with the jones fight, whereas although hopkins is older he's still rated above him in the Ring and general p4p rankings.
If Calzaghe fights at 168 again it must be against the Pavlik-Taylor winner, no other fight is worth it down there right now.
He could face the winner of Woods-Tarver, which imo will be Clinton Woods.
