Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Getting $975,000 For Marcos Maidana Defense

[BOLLOCKS]

I don't really understand it. Let's look at MMA for a second. Brock Lesnar is more popular than Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana can ever dream of being combined. Brock Lesnar has secured 4 1M+ PPV buy events for the UFC. Brock Lesnar is a heavyweight. MMA, as a whole, is more popular than boxing in America.

Brock Lesnar's pay for his last fight? 400K
Amir "Who?" Khan's pay for a title defense at 140 lbs. against an unknown Argentine crude puncher? 925K
How much is that Argentine puncher making? 550K



And then we go through 8 of 12 months in a year with absolutely no fights because HBO's already spent their entire budget for the year.

MMGay is nothing more than bum fights with dry humping, that's why they get paid chump change, cause they're bums that wouldn't make it in Boxing.
