Comments Thread For: Crawford-Khan Press Conferences Next Week; Venue Still Not Set

[Scipio2009]

Lipinets. Figueroa. Lmmmaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooo.
Lmmmmaaaoooooooooooooooooooo.

Postol was a bigger name than them at the time.

What has Figueroa done in three years besides get a dui??? And before that beat a shot Robert Guerrero who literally came off a loss to a cab driver.

You killing us with your illogical ways.

Breakdown Crawford’s purse for us again for khan thtt u have zero inside info yet are assuming as a fact u know what Arum will Pay lmmmaaoooo

There's no need for inside information when you know simple math.

Terrence Crawford's last attempt at PPV drew something like 50k PPV buys. Crawford isn't selling premium priced tickets in Omaha, nevermind trying to sell aggressively priced tickets in New York; the gate maybe gets to $2m sold. The UK interest in a Crawford-Khan fight is nowhere near where you think it is, especially at 3am, and that's before you even get to talking about the PPV.

$5m for Khan, $5m for Crawford, $1m for a **** undercard, plus the cost of actually putting the event on, Top Rank is likely in the hole $13m-$14m before counting a single dollar come in.

$2m on the live gate, $2m from the UK/International TV, and you'd still have $10m to cover. @$65/$75, that's over 300k homes needing to buy the event to cover, lol.

A heavyweight title fight, between at worst two of the top three heavyweights, with Showtime/CBS making the aggressive push to market the event, drew over 325k PPV buys.

How many do you ****ing think Crawford-Khan is going to draw, when Crawford's last shot at PPV did 50k, the last time most folks saw Amir khan he was being left for dead by Canelo, and Bob Arum isn't going into the pocket any extra on a fight that will lose money?

Why are you soooooooo jealous of Khan dude?



Did he refuse you an autograph or something?

Doesn't warrant a proper reply........What a fool you are.

[Ray*]

No venue. Which is NOT usual in boxing. Hope Wilder fangirls remember this.

[thack]

You can put out the cold facts to these Khan idiots who know zero about boxing and they still won't be happy until he's walking on his heels .What a bunch of wankers.

[Ray*]

LMFAO! This guy gets triggered every single time he see's Khan's name. Bless his cotton socks.

Brb guys just gonna go put on my favourite PPV event ever. Kell Brook vs Frankie Gavin. Now that's a legendary fight that more than deserved to be on PPV LOL!!

Khan is weird as hell.

He would rather get sparked out by Canelo and Crawford than face Brook.

The only real way it makes any sense to me is that Khan-Brook has been a 10 year rivalry in the making and expected to be a competitive fight. If he gets sparked out by Brook then he is the inferior british welterweight and looses that rivalry.

With Canelo and Crawford he can just say he was the underdog, lost to the best ect ect. But he knows the risk of losing to long time rival Brook is very high and avoids that at all cost.

So much so that he even lies about the money. You know that Khan-Brook would have and still would sell out easily in the UK, it would bring in a lot of money.

AND that kind of stupidity makes Ray* laugh ....All makes sense now with Ray*

LMMAAAOOO you love making shieettt up. You are fzucking moron LMAAOOO.

Where did you come up with the international money? LOLOLOL. Who is on the undercard? Did they add another UK name to beef up UK sales? Who else is on the card? How do you know what other countries are willing to pay for the fight????? LMMMAAAOOO. How much did Dubai put up? How about Pakistan?

Did you ever think that maybe ESPN is subsidizing the fight? LOLOL.

Using your logic you must think Spence and Mikey are fighting for $3 million guarantees each because for a card that will be unlikely to break 200,000 buys and not a lot of international interest using your "calculations" you must have them about $3 mil each.

You also probably don't take into account that promoters lose money on events all of the time. You think Mikey vs Lipinets was a money maker? Stop fooling yourself and that wasn't even ppv. PBC, TR, GBP etc lose money on events all the time. Sometimes there is a greater goal they are building too

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fought for a guaranteed $7m total. Why wouldn't Mikey Garcia and Errol Spence Jr split a guaranteed $6m for their fight? And, with Jerry Jones hosting the fight at AT&T Stadium, the new ITV deal bringing in guaranteed UK money, and the three-month push for the fight on FOX, they'll likely make more than their guarantee too.

Bob Arum has been in the sport for long enough to not lose $3m on one of his two money fighters, lol

lmaaooooooooooo

ITV money? How much? More than Sky money? Does UK care more about khan or Garcia or Spence. Lololol nice try. Wilder and fury has a Im fan base and is a way more valuable fight in uk.

Mikey already makes 3 mil a fight. U think he fights Spence for 3 guarantee lmaaaooooo u are high.

Jerry Jones isn’t putting up some huge site fee for this fight. It isn’t Pac-Margarito.

If you think Arum can’t make 10 mil to pay crawford and Khan but khan can give mikey at least a 4 mil and likely 5 mil and Spence a 4 mil guarantee for their ppv fight u are just ignorant and deeply biased.
