The negotiations to make a junior welterweight unification, between champions Zab Judah and Amir Khan, have become an all-out verbal slugging match on Twitter, with thousands of their fans reading the action. Judah wants a 50-50 split on the money, and a venue in Atlantic City. Khan wants a 60-40 split, and a venue in Las Vegas. HBO is planning to televise Khan's next fight in July, with the dates of July 16 and July 23 being mentioned.
Zab fires some verbal rockets - "Ok princess...let's fight! Sign up boy. You think [Breidis] Prescott KO'd your punk ass... watch what I do to you mama. Sign up boy and watch you will hide under your bed after the way I'm going to knock your ass out. After me you will never win a world title ever again. Sign the contract and I will show you award winning dancing. Now you f**king with the best. Amir Khan is a clown, 50/50 or keep ducking."
Khan came right back - "Super Judah aint worth no 50/50. Take what I offered you, 60/40 and Vegas for the venue. Judah is known as a guy who was knocked down 3 times with 1 punch. Anyone know who that was [Kostya Tszyu fight]? I'm going to put a video up tonight for all you fans, to see why Judah wants to be picked up for Dancing With The Stars. I got the best fight of the year, but Judah holds the best dance of the year. You got the offer, 60/40 in Vegas. Plus your dad came to us six months ago, wanting the fight for 70-30. I'll give you another 10%. By the way, change your name. You are not Super, you are Dancing Judah."
Judah continued to fire - "My dad don't talk to clowns so stop making sh*t up and just tell the world you don't wan to fight a real man. Stop being scared and making up ducking lines...duck duck Khan. Listen Ya'll, 60/40 is a cop out deal because he knows I won't take that. I got the IBF and he got WBA....that's a 50/50 deal. Sign up punk boy!"
