Comments Thread For: Zab Judah on Troubled Amir Khan Negotiations, More

[Rome-By-Ko]

Every big draw event he just named was the other fighters home town. I wonder if Josh Clottey goes around saying he can draw 50k people in Texas. Drab Doodoo sure let that paper title go to his head

Cotto from New York??News to me..

I'm saying Khan is not that big of a draw in the states period..Bradley an Khan imo are on the same level..Judah is a better draw then both..

No....no they are not.

People keep saying Judah hasn't fought anyone but Mattyse was as good or better than anyone Khan has faced during his title reign with the exception of Maidana who may not be much better than Lucas anyhow.

Zab deserves 50/50, he's a champ with name recognition. Zab drew more then 4k people at the Prudential Center for the Matthyse fight. He went around the local tv stations to promote the fight especially FOX 5 and CW11.

More than 50% of the Pakistani Americans live in the NY-NJ area. Zab is correct that the fight should be held in the East Coast, it will help Amir Khan build his fan base here in the USA. Since boxing is a business, the Zab fight in the East Coast makes the most sense if Amir wants to fight in America.

...AK is my boy...but Zab is a vet and a champ...he need to be treated as such...just sayin

Zab's point about recognition is undebatable, maybe 50/50 is fair in the US ?

After all, Judah does hold a title and is definitely still relevant.

It's simple Khan is not in the UK no more..He is not a bigger draw then Bradley and damn sure not a bigger draw then Judah..He can't do business the same way anymore like when he is fighting lesser fighters or fighting in the UK..Judah brings more to the table in all honest then Khan..I don't see a problem with 50/50 or 55/45 Khan's favor..

Good point.

Another good point.

So basically this come down to Judah wanting a 50/50 split.

He doesn't deserve it. Anyone that thinks he does is an idiot.

What has Khan done in boxing to deserve to call all the shots nothing. He is a champion just like Judah and if he wants to unify give a little and fight. Hes the beneficiary of Bradley cleaning out the division and he acts like he deserve mayweather type money. What does Khan think will happen if he faces mayweather. He want get 50%. If Khan was smart he would cut his ties with Roach and ask to fight PAC. Why is Khan friendship different than Morrales or Barreras friendship with PAC. Boxing is a sport and hopefully after the match we will have mutual respect for each other and maintain the freindship.

A fkn real good point

Jeez, so Khan cannot get a fight made with Bradley, Maidana, or Judah ?

[kiaba360]

Khan is going to get paid well whatever Judah gets and he really does need to build his star here in the US. Zab is a good place to start because he has a decent name, has a strap and he is a guy that world class guys tend to look very good against.

Agreed, so it's ****** for Khan to be stingy, why not throw the wealth around, or at least make it somewhat fair. We can all agree that Zab isn't what he used to be, but he does have a belt, regardless if it's a paper title or not. The way I see it, the only logical opponents at the moment are Bradley and Judah. I bet Khan will go ahead and fight Guerrero tho, less money that he has to offer his opponent. Honestly, i don't think Khan's stock will change even if he beats Guerrero, a lose/lose situation.
