Comments Thread For: Zab Judah's Promoter Gives Details on Amir Khan Talks

[leonthegee]

nobody cares about judah no more.His last fight did on hbo did bad
on ratings,Like 700,000.While khans last two fights on hbo had over a
million viewers.

Judahs got to be worth more than Bradley. But I understand why Khans people lowballed Zab. Style wise Zab is greater threat than Bradley because he brings speed and power. And hes a southpaw. Bradleys a better matchup and thats why they overpaid for him.

Kathy Duva, CEO of Main Events, confirmed BoxingScene.com's recent report regarding the negotiations to stage a junior welterweight unification between champions Amir Khan and Zab Judah. After WBC/WBO king Timothy Bradley turned down a lucrative deal to face Khan on July 23, Duva reached out to Khan's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, to discuss a potential fight between Judah and the British star.

here's my take...

Team Khan, GBP, and Shaw all knew Timmah wasn't gonna fight in july because timmeh is trying to get the pac fight, that's why they offered timmah 50% of the UK ppv money and an 80/20 split between shaw because they knew he wasn't gonna sign no matter what.

khan was never gonna actually give timmah the 50% of the uk ppv money... that was a public relations tactic team khan used to show that timmah was scared of khan. shaw on the other hand, just wanted to keep timmeh in his stable.

now that they did that and made khan look desperate to fight bradley, here comes judah thinking that team khan is still desperate and they are hoping to milk as much money from team khan as possible. problem is team khan is too cheap... they will never give judah 50/50 on the money split.

I think judah asking for 50/50 is too much and dumb... team khan would rather fight guerrero for less than give judah 50% of the purse and so would GBP cause they get to keep the fight in-house.

team khan is not pricing themselves out, team judah is, but team khan is put in this position because they tried to play games with timmah.

Judah is worth more than Bradley for the following reasons:
1) Judah is better known than Bradley outside of the US
2)Bradley is only known to Americans that are hardcore boxing fans.
3) Bradley cannot fill a high school gym, refer back to reason 2
4) Judah is worth more as champ, like every other fighter( I know Bradley has two belts, but so what Judah has one too) so he should at least respect that
5) Judah has a better resume than Bradley, even if he has lost against top opposition and it it would give Khan a bigger name on his resume than Bradley, so it would make better business sense.
Besides, we know Khan isn't going to fight Zab, the reason why he is going to low ball him. If he wanted to unify the belts like he claims he does then it wouldn't matter who he gets first as long as the person is holding a belt. Khan doesn't want to know what a counter uppercut to his long ass chin might feel like. If they do fight I believe khan is going to take another "L."

The Khans don't known anything about business.

Amir fought his last fight for free- how much lower can you go?

Judah carries a lot more cache than Bradley and would also likely be an easier fight---no bowling ball head to deal with.

The Khans are not doing Amir any favours.

Judah is a Turd with a padded record who never wins the big one. Yeah he's had 4 paper titles and it's painfully obvious that the Duva's are just looking to cash Judah out on one big payday since they know he's completely incapable of winning a big fight so the KO loss to Khan will be his last payday

padded record? are you serious. that whole post is a joke

[danny711]

I think Judah's would be a good choice for Khan this summer. He's got experience. He's not to old. He's got name recognition. He's got the IBF strap. He's looked good lately. He's good for Khan's resume.

[Hard Boiled]

This is what happens when taxi drivers and swiss bankers turned boxing promotors get involved with a world class boxer, Its f**ks everything up!

Remember it was actually Team Khan that DEMANDED Bredis Prescott for Khan! We all know what happened there, Khan should show some humility and accept the Judah fight, Its the fight all the fans want and its a fight that will make him into an international star.
