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

[Left Hook Tua]

I don't think anybody is saying that Judah is a big draw. I think most people just think Judah is a live opponent and it would be a great fight. As fans of the sport that's all we can hope for is to see good competitive fights. Personally I don't care how much ppv anyone sells, its not like me or any other fan is gonna see a percentage of it. But too many fights are not happening because of greedy fighters demanding too much money and trying to shaft other fighters and Khan is one of those fighters trying to do this on a regular basis.

yes. because khan is the only one wanting more money?

opponents complaining they're not getting enough is also wanting more money.

judah doesn't deserve 50/50 end of.

if he gets it , good for him.

if the fight doesn't get made because of his demands , it's all on him.

he's the b-side to this fight. everyone knows it. even those against khan knows it. even he knows it.

no.

not right now.

not with judah.

think of today's biggest ppv stars.

pac didn't get a ppv 'til morales.

floyd didn't get a ppv 'til gatti.

True but there are not many PPV fighters other then the two top dogz..And only god knows if they will ever fight again..What about a Khan Bradley fight if it was to happen after Judah and Khan mix it up..And let's say Bradley and Maidana would that be PPV then??

pac didn't get a ppv 'til morales.

floyd didn't get a ppv 'til gatti.

Cotto had a PPV vs. Malignaggi. Same weight class as Khan.

Sorry but Judah does not deserve 50/50.

No one cares for him, and even true boxing fans just started taking of him since he beat Mabuza who is literally a bum (more or elss) who beat a bum in Holt.

1 fight a go, Judah was slated as being crap looking crap VS Matthyse. When people talked Khan VS Judah 1 fight a go, boxing fans started saying pick Bradley, someone not shot.

Now look.

Holt or Mabuza are not bums..Dangerous B fighters..I would not even put Holt and Mabuza in the same class,one was a Champion the other a dangerous contender..Holt is as accomplished as Khan is right now at the weight..

it's economics.

like i said , it only goes on ppv if:

1. it'll make more money than what hbo/showtime networks offer

or

2. hbo/showtime doesn't want it so they have to set up a ppv


right now khan's fights are on the hbo level money.


i don't know how else to explain it to you.

maidana-khan wasn't ppv. bradley-alexander wasn't ppv.

khan-bradley that they weren't working on wasn't gonna be a ppv.

now judah-khan is?

well let's see if all those puerto ricans will show up and buy khan-judah.

Ok, you can say Mabuza is a bum. What about Mallignaggi? He's hardly a world beater. What about Salita? Damn Khan was in big trouble and hit at will by (Maidana) one of the crudest boxers I've seen. What about Kotelnik? McClosky? You see, Khan has also fought plenty of bums. Has Khan fought anyone of Floyds, Kostya or Cotto's level? Not even close.

Well, Judah is no where near as washed up as Barrera was and Judah does have a belt. Judah deserves decent money but team Khan are just too damn tight. If Khan wants to unify belts then he shouldn't expect other champions to bow down to his demand. If he wants to take the vast majority of the purse then he should just continue to face faded legends and other bums that won't complain. Just don't flap your lips saying you wanna fight the best, you wanna unify but are not willing to pay for it.
This is what makes me laugh at boxing. You get a fighter who retires and people are like "who has he fought?" "He only fought bums" and maybe its because these so called superstars that they wanted to fight are asking for ridiculous amounts of money. Sorry, I'm starting to rant lol

The argument is how much money Judah deserves and how he's pricing himself out. Judah deserves a payday if he gets the fight but his team is delusional asking for 50-50, people on here are acting like Judah brings so much to the table but he doesn't. He's an old washed up fighter who won a paper title and now thinks he's Money Mayweather.

And Khan wouldn't have this problem if the fighter who everyone thought he was fighting next wouldn't have called him out on HBO then backed out while being guaranteed his best payday of his career.

Khan can't be blamed here because all these fighters are acting like divas.

Come on man, 50/50 is not asking for more money, its asking for even money. If Khan wants more than 50/50 then he is asking for more right? The truth is Khan was getting a million a fight as soon as he turned pro and its made him very greedy. There are other fighters just as good as him but he expects more. It back fired on his last fight because sky were not willing to put him fighting a bum on ppv. People want to see him fight competitive fights against live opponents and that costs money. You can't keep trying to shaft future opponents out of money.

Well, we will have to agree to disagree bro. As for Bradley pulling out I remember him calling Khan out directly after he had fought Alexander and Khan had just fought Maidana. Khan, didn't want Bradley then and chose to fight McClosky. Now Bradley wants out of his contract so he is waiting it out. Khan should have fought him when he had the chance. Now everyone will have to wait. Boxing politics for you
