    Bigger name gets more money and Khan is a bigger name than Judah today.

    Because we're not living in the past any more. Zab has ain't done **** for **** knows how long. He should be counting his lucky stars that he's even getting an opportunity at the 1st or 2nd best (depending on who you ask) of the division.

    Lol this isn't 2005 anymore, dude. And the attendance for the Cotto fight can be attributed to the Puerto Ricans. Zab, on his own, is no longer the same draw he was all them years ago.

    so ashamed of our American chumps

    we got nothin going on maybe except Andre Ward and obviously a past his prime BHOP

    we got Floyd the duck

    i hope after the Super Six, we get Ward vs. Bute or something like that because the US is fast becoming the butt of every joke and the laughing stock from countries like freaking Romania

    as far as Zab, he is a damn chump who hasnt done **** in like 5 or 6 years. so sick of all the fanboys talking about him being so skilled, fast and with power

    he got exposed already by Kostya Tszyu....yet people still hang on his nuts like he's relevant

    Zab should be working for P-Diddy and getting him a damn cheesecake at Junior's in Brooklyn if he cant get a fight done with Amir. Freakin joke if money will be the issue if this fight isnt made. You aren't **** Zab!

    Are you completely dellusional??

    Judah may have been relevant to boxing fans 6-7 years ago, but no one is turning up to his fights anymore! Even when they're in Jersey. His last fight was in Jersey and looked like it was held in someone shed - not even 1000 showed up. I'm being generous mentioning 1000, it was probably nearer 500!

    Khan may not be Manny and he may barely be an Alexander skill wise, but he sells millions of $$$$ of tickets and PPV!!!

    There are only a few million $$$ draws in boxing and Khan is one of them. Judah is on a completely different level.

    Bradley is not a draw, but he's still a bigger draw than Judah now.

    Unreal that people think Judah should be on equal terms. They're either living in the past or are ignorant to the facts that no one pays to watch Judah now. Even the networks don't want a piece of him. He's on Eurosport!

    I hope Judah turns it round, just takin this fight should help his profile and winning the fight would mean he can dicate terms and get him nearer to where he was 6-7 years ago. However, currently he is nowhere near on equal terms.
