The first person to call Zab Judah on Saturday night after he had blown his $5-million showdown against Floyd Mayweather was Mayweather himself.
The junior welterweight champion, who would have split $10 million with Judah on April 8 in Las Vegas, watched in the same shock and horror as the Theater at Madison Square Garden crowd as the Brooklyn-born Judah lost a listless unanimous decision, and his WBC welterweight title, to Carlos Baldomir of Argentina, a 25-1 underdog.
Somehow, Mayweather wasn't angry, but supportive. "He said what happened tonight was crazy," Judah said. "He said, 'You fought good. You're still a champ, hold your head up.'"
By contrast, Judah's promoter was upbeat. "I think that's on ho-o-o-old," Don King said when asked about the status of the Judah-Mayweather fight. "The pause that refreshes. Now Zab will have to redouble his efforts, dust himself off, and find a way back up there."
Not surprising. After the bout, Judah's camp charged King with having more than a passing influence on the outcome of the fight. "They took the fight from us," said Yoel Judah, Zab's father and manager-trainer. "Look, we been having a bad time with Don, a bad week, and you saw what happened. It was a setup."
King laughed off the charges. "Let 'em blame me, everybody else does. The Johnstown flood, World War II, the Lindbergh kidnapping, they all blame me. It was a great night of boxing, so blame me for that, too."
Where did u find this? I dont think PBF would say something like that to a person who just cost him millions.
i think most of it was is hype the other part jealousy on zab's part ...he has never and will never be considered the fighter mayweather is ..the only chance would to beat mayweather then the rest Hatton ect
"Let 'em blame me, everybody else does. The Johnstown flood, World War II, the Lindbergh kidnapping, they all blame me. It was a great night of boxing, so blame me for that, too."
clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
here i am stuck in the middle with you (get it ? stuck)
ever seen a dog get stuck ( in another dogg ) i have, and funny story that, too. i was in the 7th grade, writing my final exams and i looked out the window and saw a little dog stuck in a big dog. i had to put my head down on the desk and take a break i was laughing so hard
to be honest i'm happy to hear that Mayweather called Zab i'm glad he reached out to him and showed him some love its the right thing to do we gotta stick together these days and i'm glad Mayweather knows that and hopefully Zab does too would love to see them sitting ringside together at the next big fight just the Afrikan way if i don't love my brother who will ?
