Another fight postponed

Nobody is making excuses for fighters

Im just pointing it out as to possibly why Khan is out until the fall/winter according to this report

shows exactly whats wrong with the way things work
HBO - network overpaying for a name, not the best fights available
GBP - promoter living off network's money, now cant promote worth a shit

As for your math Dmar, dont forget its a PPV featuring other names on the card - Linares vs Juarez and the main event of Marquez vs Diaz II

Can see how the $ is spread thin when trying to load it up and have to pay one fighter an inflated amoutn

i see what your saying..marquez DIAZ realy is not a ppv fight.thats the big problem jaming ppv fights down folks throats..adding kahn to the card gives 2 headliners..soo doiuble it and say 200 000 buys.marquez mexican following for example..i agree .the fighters are getting a overinflated guarentee..
im not saying you as making excuses just the fan base all singing the same song over and over giving legitamacy for fighters that dont fight..spoiled pampered many are..money money money..zero fights equals zero dollars..2 fights at 750 000 equals a lot of money and thats the min it could be more...
go to work guys and see how much you will make in a year..

If Khan draws at least 10 000 (which he would) at an average of $100 US per ticket, that is $1 million. If Khan had no TV deal, and the fight is a one off PPV in England, I'm guessing it would still do at the very least 50 000 buys at $30 US per buy. That comes to a gross of $2.5 million before deductions for the cable provider.

You are looking at a worst case scenario of $2 million net, not including any revenue from the USA. This is revenue generated strictly from England.

I've read every post on this thread. The consensus seems to be that Khan and other fighters are not fighting enough. I agree. I have no idea why Manny Pacquiao has to wait until Nov. to fight let alone Khan fighting in Dec. We need other networks and boxing shows to give HBO, Showtime and PPV competition. I think the show, "The Contender" had a beautiful concept. The problem was the level of the fighters. The present networks are creating this joke of a boxing schedule and need harsh competition to knock them out of this habit. The boxing observer is non existent to them. They need to have their network's boxing program threatened.

frank good points indeed.

The super six is the good fighter version of the contender and the promoters seem to be doing their best to fuck that up.
