Why are people surprised Marquez turned down a big money fight with Khan?

[Left Banned Tua]

He want that Pac money again.

I think Khan woulda been pretty damn close to it for sure.

he could have had a pac fight.

he asked for 50-50 and blood tests.

I know Prescott and Salita made billions against Khan. Plus everyone in America saw those fights live so they are well aware of who Amir Khan is. It stands to reason then that Marquez would make at least 30 billion for fighting this guy who has never been on HBO or Showtime.

Sometimes people here amaze me. Taking a Richard Schaeffer statement seriously is a sign that you're really slipping.

Show me some numbers that imply Amir Khan is any kind of serious drawing power. Please. I would love to see his purse history and how much his opponents got paid for taking on such a monumental figure.

[LeeVanCleef]

Some of u guy are ***en dumb. Everyone to u guys are duckers. He halways had bad managment in the begenning. Morales a duck? Hahhaha he always wanted morales but ****ty managment, he fought manny n beat him twice. Then fights the best in the world? Oh yeah n climbs 2 weight divisions. Yet ducks a fighter with a paper belt who beat a ****ty fighter and has no resume compared to Him. You guys need to learn how boxing works

Like you said: HE HAD BAD AND ****TY MANAGEMENT who in the end, had to beg fights.
End of Story.

no one is saying khan will make him pac-level money.



but here's a damn fact.

hbo money is less money than hbo + sky ppv money.

it's common sense.

khan was frank warren's biggest moneymaker.

you know khan has been on british ppv since pretty much his pro debut right?


don't take the hate khan gets on this board from british posters as a sign nobody watches him in the u.k.

[letsgobrady]

Because HBO would be paying more money to see Juan Manuel Marquez fight Amir Khan. It would also gain more of a gate.

when is the last time khan fought on hbo?
when was the last time 1 of khans fights were shown in the states?
fighting amir khan is just as good as fighting someone like valero they both have a little buzz about them but no one really knows them in america if anything a valero fight should be more money bein that he just fought a very good opponent on showtime and dominated and is also undefeated

do you guys not understand khan brings in british tv money?

[Guest]

get that fag's name out of my thread.

we're talking about fighters who have accomplished something in here.

do you guys not understand khan brings in british tv money?

Nah, they don't. I wouldn't bother with it.

Ali Funeka will make him rich!

i don't get it.

all of a sudden khan is not a draw.

newsflash aside from mayweather-marquez......khan's purses are probably similar to what marquez makes.

i bet you khan's ppv fights against nobodies outsold marquez's ppv fights against guys like casa and diaz.

[El Castigador]

JMM wouldve made a bundle with Khan.

how much could that be?1st off it seems like khan is somewhat hated in europe so how many people will actually pay to see him?2nd khan has not really done anything special since gettin knocked out by presscott and 3rd if fighting european fighters brings so much british money why is it that all fighters are not jumping at the oppertunity to fight these european fighters?
