Why is Zab Judah being asked to take short money?

which is bull**** because Bradley has unified and is the clear cut number 1 at 140 Khan should get 40 versus Brad

 

Why? Because of all the fans he's going to bring along as opposed to Khan.

Khan-Bradley is a clear 50-50. The 2 top guys, both Champs.

 

bradley beat the other top guy alexander

he has been a belt holder longer and has a little more pull i think

especially if the fight is in the states then i think it should be 60-40

 

It was my understanding that Bradley has a poor following (correct me if this is wrong). Khan beat the other top guy in Maidana.

I really can't see how he deserves it to be 60-40. The odds on that fight would be about even too.

Khan will be bringing the money in more than Bradley.

 

It's simple Team Khan and himself are not ready to take a risky fight at this point and simply will throw a horrible number that will make Judah say no.

 

i see it the same way as the klitschko-haye split

klitschko should get the 60 because while they both are champs wlad has a better claim to being the top fighter

bradley beat a good holder in witter, unified vs holt and unified again vs alexander

i think he has been stripped twice cause he lost he wbc after holt and he doesnt have the ibf which he beat alexander for

i think he should get 60

 

Khan hasn't done very big gates in the US, and if the fight takes place on the east coast, Judah could very well bring in more fans. I think his request for 50/50 on the US money is quite reasonable.

 

Judah hasn't won a meaningful fight in years.

 

Khan has other options, easily made, significant fights. Judah doesn't have it nearly as easy to make a big fight. The name available guys are all with GBP, outside of Bradley. If Judah doesn't like it, he doesn't have to sign.

 

The situation is far different to Wlad-Haye (which I could definitely see as 60-40 to Wlad).

Wlad has been the dominant heavyweight champ for years against Haye who's record is severely lacking (not having one really good win at the weight).

Khan is more established at 140 than Haye is at Heavy with a very good win vs Maidana (which is as good as any win Bradley has).

Wlad is the Ring champ for his division. The 140lb division championship is vacant.

 

its this whole mentality that stops great fights from being made,
sure both fighters gotta get paid but its not as if they are earning 2 dollars a fight

 

Is that really how it translates in your mind?

What a ****ing idiot.

 

Zab has no other big option at 140. He can't pick and choose who he wants. He doesn't have any backing from a network, doesn't have any momentum, and aside from fringe wins, hasn't looked great in them. He's a loss from being a contender to a gatekeeper. He should take any big fight he can get his hands. This is his last hurrah.

 

Guess what.
That "GATEKEEPER" beats Khan.

 

i like judah and don't think he's 'done' as some other posters say, but Kahn is the bigger draw at this point, so anything greater than or equal to 40/60 is fair. depends what overall numbers are projected - maybe even a lil lower for a 'big pot' for zab cuz what other $ option does he really have? if too low, zab can stick w/ mandos until he can get somebody to jump
