    Per Dan Rafael earlier today. Best since Klit-Arreola. HBO has had a relatively weak year but it does say something that a BAD card topped a Pavlik headlined WCB card. Khan-Paulie had a strong promotion, GBP continues to go about their business.

    Khan also gets ALOT of talk on message boards. Also, he is already making 7 figure paydays. This kid will be a mega-star if he keeps winning.

    I'm not saying it means much about how good he is, just calling it like it is.

    It's Marquez turned him down. But methinks if he beats Diaz again he won't turn down the payday whether he is A side or B side. It would be one of the bigger fights of the year.

    The network premiere of The Hangover proceeded the B.A.D. telecast, so that surely helped to increase viewership.

    Yeah I'll admit that even though I had seen it, I still warmed up to fight night with that movie. But regardless, still very good news for Khan and GBP.

    That's true...

    so much for Paulie not having a fan-base.

    Khan probably has a good one too. But I'd expect it to be good within Britain, not America. Makes it more interesting and good for boxing.

    Thats a great result for Amir. I doubt Malignaggi could have contributed too much.

    Pavlik fans don't spend their unemployment checks on HBO.

    Khan-Malinaggi really had a feel that it had a PPV megafight atmosphere around it.
