Funny Story About Malignaggi-Khan

[Mr. Ryan]

I was at the Pacquiao-Clottey press conference in January, just ahead of the big featherweight card at The Garden with Gamboa and Juanma. I saw Lou Dibella, Malignaggi's promoter, and we spoke informally about how messed up it is that Malignaggi has to be an opponent to get on TV.

I made a suggestion about fighting Amir Khan, since Malignaggi first became interested in boxing because of Prince Naseem Hamed's entertaining performance against Kevin Kelley.

Dibella shrugs it off, says that making that fight was the highlight of his tenure as HBO Boxing's programming director but that Khan isn't the type of superstar Hamed was.

And now only a few months later, we're days away from the fight.

I guess he never thought they would be able to get the fight, Another thing is NAZ was mainstream but didnt last long but the man was known recognised by everyone...

dibella & paulie have a warped sense of reality.

What exacly is Paulie Malignaggi?

A ppv headliner?

Because his exciting & explosive in ring performance & boxing decorations dictate it?

[PensionKiller]

Yeah I recall Lou D i bella proper happy about Naz with his gay smile

He's fond of Paulie too, making that Documentary

I remember being a little kid, knowing nothing about boxing, but knowing who The Prince was. I remember seeing the Prince Naseem billboard the moment I came out the Lincoln Tunnel into NYC and thinking "He must be the best boxer ever."

LOL

Haha I remember that episode, that's where Meadow gets Finn the job and he's traumatized by seeing Eugene smash a snapple bottle on Little Paulie's face.

The Sopranos are my favorite show ever.
