Comments Thread For: Khan vs Judah Hits a Wall, Financial Dispute Over Split

[mrpain81]

Where are people getting all this info about Judah still being a big name? He's been fighting on crap PPV's and ESPN2 for the past 3 years, his last fight on HBO did crap ratings.


11/6/2010 - HBO - Boxing After Dark - Judah/Mathysse - 766,000 total live viewers

Khan on the other hand is doing nice ratings and gate figures.

Maidana vs. Khan gate - Mandalay Bay - $500,000

04/16/11 - HBO - BAD - Khan vs. McCloskey - Ortiz vs. Berto - 1.5 Million average viewers

December 11, 2010 - HBO - 8:00 PST - Amir Khan - Marcos Maidana – 1.17 million viewers

5-15-2010 - HBO - World Championship Boxing - Paulie Malignaggi vs. Amir Khan - 1.228 million live viewers


Khan should offer Judah $500k or tell him to **** off and see where he can make that type of money fighting anyone else.

Judah will be the biggest name Khan has fought hands down..

If Bradley can make a big fuss over money, then so can Khan.

Khan should demand a 60-40 split. Judah is a big name, but he isn't what he used to be, and isn't recognised as a great fighter anymore.

Khan should just fight Guerrero. I doubt Guerrero will ask for much money and Khan can take a much larger slice of the total revenue.

I never remember Bradley saying anything,let alone anything about money threw out the nego..Can you show me the interview with Bradley making a big deal about money with Khan..Thanks..

Can't argue with that

Judah or Guerrrero will be fine by me

Prefer the Judah fight though as it gives Amir a chance to unify

Judah is a bigger name then Barrera? Who fought on 4 PPV's that did over 300k buys while Judah only fought on 1 that did over 300k buys?

Why not just be honest and admit that while 6 years ago Judah was a decent name right now he ain't nothing special. If he was such a big name he wouldn't have to be fighting on independent PPV's and ESPN.

Oh really??? watch Khan Fight Guerro or maidana and Judah fighting a nobody on ESPN or something

Judah is a idiot for asking 50/50 thats nonsense!

That won't unify nothing tho,and tbh Khan needs to do this to make himself more legit..Khan has a nice following but that's really it as far as accomplishments..He was not an accomplished LW and won one belt at Jr WW..He needs this fight to really make him solid..Not to mention Maidana and The Ghost are good fighters but not Champions..

50/50 US money.

UK money should be all Amir's.

I agree wazaa. Perhaps 80/20 on the UK ppv money just because Amir couldn't put on a PPV without Zab - he should get a lil bit of it.

Judah is not back by a Major Promoter either,and it says a lot to be able to be on an independent PPV and still have some sells(not many can do this)..I do believe Judah is a bigger name the MAB overall,but MAB has the Mexican people behind him who love boxing(how many AA you know gonna watch Judah fight a unknown fighter??)MAB could fight a phone book and 300k Mexican people will order it..But Judah is somewhat a celebrity being in videos and the people he hangs around Zab is marketable..He would help sell the fight in the US..

i really would rather see Khan fight somebody else. Not saying Judah isn't a hell of a fighter but the style matchup doesn't excite me. Judah is just dangerous enough to keep Khan from jumping in, and Khan is too fast and strong for Judah to impose himself on (not that judah does that anyway). Guerrero I like and I don't want to see him lose right now in his career.

I agree with this Khan needs to unify imo,fighting Judah is his best option..
