With Joe Calzaghe's recent victory over Roy Jones Jr., the Welsh born superstar walked away with the biggest purse of his career to date. According to a report from the Wales on Sunday, the publication reveals that Calzaghe earned a whopping $10 million dollars for his role.
Although Calzaghe vs. Jones Jr. didn't do so well as expected in terms of pay-per-view buys, Calzaghe still walks away with a great pay day.
Estimates of the Pay-per-view buys puts it somewhere under the 250,000 buy range. Very poor in sales, considering the fight was projected to bring in twice that much.
Calzaghe deserves the money, and it's good to see him getting so richly rewarded.
