Speaking of Vegas, I have a feeling that Khan-Judah is struggling a bit, given that the M'Bay is offering comp tickets to their players3 hours ago »

@ @stevemaxboxing Made zero sense to have that fight in Vegas, place was empty for Khan/Maidana too. Fight should've been on the east coast

Steve Kim @Attyg3 - agreed, that's what Kathy Duva was yelling for the whole time

When i read an article about Goldenboy and Khan's people wanting the fight in Vegas, i was wondering why as well. i was there for Khan/Maidana and it wasnt even close to being sold out. Helluva fight tho. Atlantic City would have been perfect for this fight. Zab is from NY and whatever following Khan has from the UK could cross the pond in a non-stop flight. Kathy Duva even pointed it out. It makes goldenboy look stupid when they cant sell out a good fight. Oh well just hoping for a good scrap and a Judah win....
that is what happens when fighters think that they are bigger stars then they really are and their promotion company mislead them to believe that they are this "HUGE STAR"
and that is no disrespect to Khan, but he is not that big of a Star in the US...At least not yet
yes the fight should have been on the EAST COAST! :no:
I rock a Khan Judah Avi because I support that fight,imo it's a big fight between two top fighters at the 140lb div's(one of my favorite div's)..I think Khan is a talented fighter and believe him to be an upper class fighter..But I feel Bradley is a better fighter and when they meet(and they will meet)Bradley will be the one with his hands raised..Why now does that mean I can't still like Khan??I liked both Gatti and Ward,both JLC Corrales Shane and Hoya..But I see a fight playing out how I see a fight playing out(same as you)so don't give me none of ya stupid racist rants clown...:haha:
IF khan gets through zab, I cant wait for khan v bradley I can see some heavy betting between us bro lol
I would Fucck with ya two on the betting my dude..You been really stand up my g..
It's still a lie,you said Khan sold more tickets in the US,he has not done this..Bradley has been fighting in the US far longer then Khan..He has not sold more tickets..Oh and I would take what that Fat Fucck Dan Ralph has to say,he has sold his soul long ago...
You are a Bradley boy yet you are sporting a Khan V Judah avatar. Why are you so concerned about Khan anyway? I thought all you African Americans will support Bradley no matter what?
Bradley ducked Khan and you are crass enough to defend him and fuel the fire! Instead of being a punk on a boxing forum, why dont you canvas Bradley and make him fight Khan?

bradley's hometown happens to be a small town in the middle of the desert. fighting there is never gonna draw a lot of people but he drew more people against alexander than khan did vs maidana or malignaggi. bradley fights in ghost towns like detroit and still draws more than khan who fights in fight towns like vegas and new york. what a star.....
Obviously Bradley-Alexander would outsell two NON-AMERICANS fighting wouldn't it??????? As for khan-malinaggi they drew just under 5,000 and that was khans first fight in the US. The Bradley-Alexander fight was extensively promoted by HBO, where 2 UNDEFEATED americans would fight for unification. But the funny thing is only 6,247 FANS showed up for that fight!!!!!
Nope it was on ESPN here is the quote:
"Bradley is a non-entity when it comes to selling tickets in the United States -- another reason why his HBO fees are so out of whack with reality. He hasn't even been able to sell out a 2,000-seat ballroom in a casino minutes from his hometown of Palm Springs, Calif."

What I meant was that Khan has sold more tickets in his individual fights with malinaggi and maidana than bradley does in his hometown.... As for those numbers they seem to be correct its on a number of sites not just espn.
The fact is Khan in his HOME country can sell 20,000 tickets fighting people like Mccloskey, whereas Alexander-Bradley struggled to attract 6,247 fans for a unification fight in there home country.
**** NJ, why not put it in the UK TBH.
The reason Khan went to the US is because he wants to be a world wide star, He could be fighting people like Gavin Rees and John Murray in the MEN for easy money but he chose the hard way to fight in a country where he is unknown and build his fan base up.

Do you d1ckheads now see why Bradley wanted to wait?
If Zab(whos a bigger name than Bradley) cant sell with Khan, Bradley vs Khan would have did even worse
Well this post is a lie...

It takes a long time to build your name in america, just like in any country. How many people do you think would turn up to see Zab judah in england lol.
Khan is huge in england he's been all over UK and pretty much sold out everywhere. At newcastle he sold out (11,000 Capacity) , Manchester he sold out many times (20,000 Capacity) , In O2 arena in london (20,000 capacity), in nottingham and many more. Thats like Zab judah going to every state in US and selling out, but the only place he could sell out is at home in madison square gardens.
Bradley can't even sell out in his hometown with only 2,000 fans coming to watch him haha. Thats why he deserves 50%, but I think thats being generous considering khan has sold more tickets in america than he has in his hometown.
bradley's hometown happens to be a small town in the middle of the desert. fighting there is never gonna draw a lot of people but he drew more people against alexander than khan did vs maidana or malignaggi. bradley fights in ghost towns like detroit and still draws more than khan who fights in fight towns like vegas and new york. what a star.....
I think Khan will become a good draw in the near future, but people need to remember Khan is a foreign fighter and has only had one previous fight in Vegas and only 2 in the US. Plus Zab doesn't really have much of a following anymore. The low ticket sales shouldn't surprise us.

bradley doesn't deserve 50 percent against this guy?

The economy sucks, Vegas is very bad off right now, Zab is a has been who was over rated back when he was primed, and khan is from europe. Package that with HD tv and free streams. Its no shock that they can't sell tickets. U seen how many people have been going to baseball games? And baseball is ten times what boxing is in america, and they still can't get people to the games. The citizens are broke, till this sh1tty economy starts rolling again, expect more of the same. Only sport selling sh1t out is football, and that's football for gods sake.
The Yank's are doing alright,Go Yankees!!!!!
