When is the fight tentatively scheduled for? Jan. 28...

What month are we in? August...

To say that they are jumping the gun on worrying about this would be an understatement.

jan 28 is a big date for hbo.So hbo wanna know if there gonna fight or
not,So they can plan on another fight on that date.

The 1.1 Million or whatever it was, is a joke.

Manfredo probably got more money with his 1000 windmill slap match with Slapzaghe.

[Disclaimer, Joe Calzaghe is awesome]

1 million to each fighter is no joke bro.I would kill for that money.

Holy f**k, I'm actually agreeing with Kevin Cunningham for the first time in like 5 years...Wow lol

And for all the people saying they're nobodys and they should take what they're given, what would you think if you were part of a fight that had a lot of anticipation, and guys who refused to fight you were getting paid for mismatches? I could care less who can draw. Floyd wasn't even the 5th best draw in his prime and do you think he was getting chump change? Hell no. Vargas's PPVs were doing much better than Floyd's at one point and he got s**tloads more money than Vargas.

Bro....Cunninham was talking all that **** about bradley,When bradley was
talking about money.U had kev saying they will fight anyone and they dont care about money.Now money is a issue to them?

[Heru]

true, but I'd rather that **** be done sooner than later.

I want it to be set too, but writing articles about it has to be made and worried about negotiations 5 months before the tentative date is overreacting.

See post above. And on another note, seeing as how HBO's boxing budget has been steadily shrinking, $1.1M is good money, but I definitely would want more money than Khan got to fight Malignaggi, especially if I drew more attendance and close to the same ratings against a lesser known opponent like Alexander did. Give the kid his money, he's earned it.

Well it's very bad considering this is one of the better boxing matches out there with 2 of the best from the division.

Its not like they're walking away.. But if it gets to the point where HBO refuses to give them the amount they want and either one walks away, THEN they're idiots. However I doubt that would happen. HBO knows how big this fight is, and Cunningham is just using his power to corner them into paying the fighters what they deserve. He's just negotiating. Its only August, so there's plenty of time for them to get that situated. I'm not worried about this fight not getting made anymore, because Alexander has no other choices at this point, and I highly doubt Bradley would get anywhere near 1.1M to fight Ortiz, Guzman or Judah.

I hope so bro.Cause there is always a rematch with kotelinik for lesser
money for alexander.
