Comments Thread For: Arum Says HBO Was Sour on Pacquiao vs. Khan For PPV

[raymosr]

Only moronic tards believe this bs.. there's no way HBO would rather pac v bradley3 over pac vs Kahn-Artist 1. Bob just wants another in house fight and he's hoping that bradley will win now that pac has one foot out the door.

300k ppv buy

I don't believe Arum here, it just doesn't ring quite true to me.

This is the 3rd Bradley fight. Surely HBO are cleverer to realise a well marketed Khan fight would do well.

The only thing I would say is that ironically by Khan being so big headed and stubborn holding out for big fights, he has become inactive, less relevant thus less likely to get those big fights. Good in a way. It's a lesson to boxers, BOX!

People aren't even trying when it comes to ducking Khan these days.

I mean Floyd has a poll which Khan wins and then blatantly ducks him.

Then says Khan hasn't earnt it and fight Berto.

Now Pac ducks him and blames his ppv and the fights one of the lowest drawing fighters out there in a third fight no one wants to see.

They should have a belt for people who ran from Amir Khan.

Looks like Uncle Bob is getting senile.., Amir Khan had a contract with HBO was very popular with them and did great numbers too.

Whats more Uncle Bob does'nt seem to realise we live in the internet age, and his bull**** stands out a mile.

Bradley 82K followers on Twitter. Amir Khan 1.6 Million that makes Khan about twenty times more popular then Bradley.

Bradley 142,000 followers on Facebook. Amir Khan 3.7 Million followers on Facebook.

Bradley gets thousands hits on Youtube Amir Khan videos get millions of hit.

Khan vs Pacquaio , Broner vs Pacquaio hell even Malignaggi vs Pacquaio would do bigger numbers then Bradley Pacquaio.

If it was hbo that turned it down why did they pay pac upfront to accept the current fight?

Maybe HBO just doesn't want to do business with their competitor. Or give them free marketing dollars.

and people still rag on bradley for signing with top rank...

No kidding. Dude has to be the highest paid guy not named Mayweather, Pac or Cotto. Guessing Khan now sees what signing with Hymen means for his HBO air time, Broner too.

Both of those guys no longer fight on HBO, they turned their backs on HBO to go fight on Showtime and the PBC circuit. You think HBO is going to invest time in them now so they can bring the added exposure back to Showtime? LOL, this is a side effect of "business" decisions. Instead of there having been a collaborative approach to the PBC integration, it was more of a total takeover with HBO taking a massive talent hit.

Now those fighters that jumped ship are all upset that they have missed out on certain opportunities. Sorry fellas, you have to take the good with the bad and live with the choices that you have made.

That's impressive but how does it relate to PPV buys? How many of that 3.7 million live in Pakistan ? Who knows?
