Khan/Judah struggling to sell

[talz]

Yeah this fight was tailor made for the east coast. The only thing I can think of is that they were scared that if it were close that Zab might actually get the judgement in AC or something. Its unfortunate that MSG is still undergoing renovations because I would have loved to see the fight there as well.

I agree khan may have got robbed you just never know in america, alot of terrible decisions have been given against non-american fighters. But it's a shame people should be going to a unification fight in the US, I guess boxing isn't strong in america as it is in europe. Boxing is slowly dying in the US as fans don't wanna watch any1 else appart from pacquiao, mayweather and cotto

Well, Zab doesnt wanna promote the fight, what you expect to happen if he not doing any media?

I have a feeling this will be the last time we see Zab on HBO.

Zab did not promote to the UK Media,not the U.S...I've been saying for a long time Khan is not a draw in America he should have went to A.C. and demanded the Judges be fairly picked..But who the hell cares tbh let's get it on...

True but there are a fair few fans that travel from the uk to khans fight, so the gate would have benefitted him as well. Zab also refused to do the HBO face off as well

Not true.

Judah also refused to do the HBO Face Off.

They want to make Khan a star....but nobody cares about Khan

I think it's because Promotion is very weak in the U.S.,Judah is from NY and I have not heard anything on the radio stations or anything..Guy's are not being pushed like they once was,by the time Mayweather had as many fights as Gamboa Bradley Khan Peterson etc etc he was a house hold name..Maybe not a big draw but very well known..Even Mosley(who started with Shaw)was well known by the time he had 28 to 30 fights,the guy's I just named are not known at all(outside of hardcore fans)and not even close to be known in the near future(unless they fight a May or Pac)..Ortiz has done a good thing for himself fighting May that's for sure..

The face off is not the problem tbh,outside of hardcore fans people don't even know the face-off exist..And if Khan is this great big draw from the UK he could have promoted it out there himself,and the building should not have been able to seat everyone..At least that's how most of his fans make it sound..If he wanted Zab to help promote in the UK media he should have gave Judah a split(at least 10 to 20%)but he wanted to be greedy and now look...

No. Khan draws casual fans over here. Casual fans don't know who Judah is.
Not giving Judah a slice of the UK revenue has had zero impact on the UK revenue.

Ok so why make a big deal about him not making statements to the UK media then??Khan is not a big draw here,that's like Judah(who will be the reason most of the azz's are in the seats on the night)saying I'll keep everything from the gate because Khan is not a draw..It really just did not make sense to me..Not to mention this fight would have sold out in AC no doubt about it...
