Zab Judah not giving any interviews to U.K press...

I expect that Khan might now try to get clauses in future contracts where opponents have to give interviews to the UK media even when they are not getting ppv revenue.

I have been surprised by the lack of ads for Primetime's coverage, too, considering that it is Amir Khan, a name opponent and a unification. I have had a couple of bizarre 'phone calls, though - Amir Khan's recorded voice, telling me that if I subscribe by this weekend I have a chance to win flights to Vegas to watch the fight. I have bought their fights before, though, so it is obviously just limited to existing subscribers.

 

Judah agreed to the terms of the fight when he had signed the contract so why is he protesting something he contractually agreed to.

 

Khan has got a point, it's like what ****** said to Groves (when he said something like he wasn't bothered about how many ticket he sells personally); that he should do it for the promotion.

Okay slightly different scenario, Judah doesn't get a share of the UK revenue, he has a point too, but for he promotion of the fight is slightly unprofessional, when big fighters happen, you usually get media from all around the world and boxers talk to various international reporters.

To be fair, this stunt has somewhat proven to be good promotion as people are talking about it.

 

I guess they should have put a clause about Judahs UK promotional obligations into his contract?

Team Kahn falling down on the job again.

 

nowhere in his contract does it say anything about doing interviews for UK press.

 

No one is suggesting he is obligated to do interviews for UK press, though it is unprofessional to not do it. Point being why protest over UK PPV split months after signing the contract.

 

Certainly it won't be the last time.

 

If the TK and GBP were stupid enough to allow it why would he waste his own valuable time giving interviews to the UK media when that same time could be used promoting the fight with state side media which actually benefits him.

 

YOU said he contractually agreed to it and asked why he is protesting to it now.

 

Good on Judah.Khan wants ALL the UK money,then let him do ALL the work.:good

 

Judah is the same clown who proposed Olympic style testing regime after signing contracts.

 

Well he gave this small time writer from Scotland an interview for the first issue of Undisputed. In which he called Khan "a national disgrace".

 

Khan's next fight will be on Sky. Why would primetime waste money on advertising when this is temporary? Schaefer met with Barry Francis and the differences have been ironed out. Khan vs Bradley/Morales in December will be on Sly.

 

About Primetime advertising on Sky...there was on ad on sky.com for Khan/McCloskey IIRC.

Anyway,yeah it's a bit **** that Judah's not doing these interviews but Zab's not contractually obliged to do so and there's not incentive for him to hype the fight for the UK market.

 

To be honest i think Judah is fully entitled to take this stance. Why the **** should help promote this over here when the khan camp typically don't want to pay him right.

Fair play to Judah i say. He's absolutely right.

With that said, it's safe to say that 99% of the general british public don't even know that khan is fighting next week so there isn't going to much ppv money to speak of
