Comments Thread For: Khan-Malignaggi Under Threat, Financial Standoff With HBO

[John Hue]

LOL Khan is making nearly as much as Clottey is making with Pac

Good point . I had not thought of it that way but it really puts things in perspective.

Clottey is getting ****ed in the ass no doubt.

Khan is really pissing me off. He's acting like he's a big shot. Make a name 4 yourself & then u can demand the big $$$. Love him or hate him but I respect Malignaggi a lot more then this Khan character.

Khan making $1 million on HBO in the states is ridiculous. If anything, Paulie is the draw now, he's gained a following after he became something of a Youtube sensation last year. Paulie should make more than Khan.

Khan is the champion, not Paulie. Khan should make more than Paulie.

Khan hasn't earned the right to be a bit of a diva like Pacquiao, Mayweather, etc.. It's bad news for his career from a fan's POV if he's been corrupted this early.

Reeno - you are one of the worst journalists I have ever read and I created an account just to write that. If HBO can pay $3.2 m for Dawson-TarverII, or 2.65 m for Cotto-Clottey, and about 2 mill for Bute-Andrade2, your telling me that they are unwilling to shell out 2-3 mill for a card involving a combination of victor ortiz, nate campbell, paulie maligniaggi and amir khan?? that is 4 of the 6-8 top fighters in the hottest division in boxing right now! with the fight bieng in NY, the live gate alone will generate a good amount of money - keep in mind cotto-clottey brought in $1.7 mill at the gate! you sir, are an imbecile... first of all i think your estimation of 2-3 mill isnt right, and secondly, I think you need to stop writing subjective articles full of your own flawed opinions. Journalists like you are a big part of whats wrong with boxing.

That's different because it's Floyd Mayweather. Floyd is on the plus side of the equation just like Amir is.

And in this case, we also have Amir Khan who has been on 5 PPV's. How many PPV's has Malignaggi headed? Amir has made millions already and is a big name and will bring his British fans AND the Pakistanis and ******s from the New York Area. Paulie will only bring his Italians.

Oh, to hell with Khan! Put the Desert Storm in with the Magic Man HBO!
