Reports that HBO will pay Michael Jackson more than $20 million to televise a tape of his concert from Bucharest Oct. 10 are unconfirmed by the cable outfit. But the eight-figure price tag would be right in keeping with the moonwalker, who spins off puffed-up prices as easily as he pirouettes: *Expected revenue from 1991 Sony record deal: $1 billion *1987 world tour gross: $125 million *Combined gross of the Thriller and Bad LPs: $700 million *Jackson's estimated 1991 income: $25 million *Amount Jackson paid in 1987 for the Lennon/McCartney song catalog: $50 million *Amount fan paid for glove at auction: $29,400 *Estimated number of nose jobs: 7-cost not known.
