Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Grabs $1.07 Million, Judah To Earn $500K

[jrosales13]

What do you disagree with? HBO doesn't care about Khan. They only traveled to England to promote him because he was supposed to face off against Tim Bradley(despite HBO having second ideas about going there). Khan is not the type of fighter that HBO is interested in promoting.

HBO cares about GBP, which cares about Khan.

To say that HBO doesn't care about a "****** from England" is F'ing ******ed. And, shows how much of a Nationalistic idiot you're.

Hamed says hi BTW.

Also when dude brought up Alexander. You countered by mentioning Haymon. I got confused a little since Alexander is not an Al Haymon fighter. So I failed to see your connection.

And, no HBO is not "dying" for Judah to "blast his ass". HBO has a deal with GBP. Khan is the younger fighter with the brighter future. While Judah...Well...Judah is Judah.

You can be real ignorant sometimes.

Al Haymon was just one example of fighter. Alexander fit the mold of what HBO is look for(young, quick, american). To think that an American network isn't interested in American fighters would be the real crime here. What sells more to Americans.....The American Zab Judah who just dismissed the British hype job(if khan losses that is what he would be looked at), who is always in an exciting fight and on his comeback trail vs mayweather(example) or the young Brit, who always seems to be running his mouth, and best win would be against a gate keeper(zab would be looked at as this if he losses tonight) vs Mayweather? I have a feeling that the American public would rather pay to see Zab. BTW, comparing Hamed to Khan is laughable. Hamed was special and much more flashy than Khan. Khan whines a lot and his personality comes off as your average Joe. Inside the ring their excitement isn't even comparable.

Not comparing Hamed to Khan, you idiot.

You said HBO didn't care about "******s from England" when Hamed was a "****** from England" who HBO cared about.

And, the American public would rather see Mayweather vs Khan over something that they have already seen and nothing will change in Judah vs Mayweather.

For you to think differently is laughable.

get that paper amir.....

[Gino Ros]

You right it doesn't matter. Only if you're talking about HBO budget cuz' it does hurt you as a fan. See Hopkins-Dawson being on PPV now...Because, wasted more than half on their budget like in the first quarter of the year.

And I ws the one railing about the Bradley-Alexander deal - esp the consolation component.

Had Hamed not been special, HBO wouldn't of gave two ****s about that ****** from England either. That's my point. HBO is out to make money and if you aren't from America, Mexico or a few Latin countries with strong history they aren't spending time on you unless you really stand out. Khans stood out a bit and that's why he has gotten a few BAD dates but if he losses tonight, it's over and I bet you never see his face again on HBO but the same can not be said about American fighters(Zab for example).

You have a point about the public possibly not be excited for a rematch but if they had never fought the public would certainly be more interested in the 42-5 Zab Judah than they would be the one loss Khan. Stop trying to convince yourself that HBO and their main audience isn't more interested in American/Mexican fighters. It's not nationalism, it's the damn truth.

No, Check.

HBO cares more about Khan than Judah.

Also, HBO cares more about "sellable" than they care about nationality.

Who does HBO love more: Canelo...or Devon?

So was I. And, is not because I care about how much these fighters are getting paid. It's more due to the fact that it was a huge chunk of their budget going into these 2 fighters. Which I already knew was going to hurt the boxing programming at the end of the year. Which hurts the fans.

*sigh*

And, didn't even get a return in their investment...Why that's one of the many reasons Greenburg is gone. For outbidding themselves.

Right now Canelo because they found out Devon is a bum. Ask me the same question a year ago and it certainly would of been Devon when they wrote him a contract for 2, 1 million dollar fights. Canelo is a Mexican also though. HBO clearly promotes Mexicans because of the huge population of Mexican Americans in the United States.

HBO might be interested in American/Mexican fighters. But, they're not interested in Judah over Khan man.

Funny that Judah had to face a "****** from England" who the network doesn't care about to finally get back on HBO after 3 damn years. And, that's the damn truth.
