| Rubio Admits Money Was Left on The Table in Chavez Deal
|
|
By Salvador Rodriguez Middleweight contender Marco Antonio Rubio (53-5, 46KOs) explained that his agreed-upon purse for the bout with WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. (44-0-1, 31KOs) is not the best of his career. Rubio has been trying to get Chavez in the ring for a very long time and the money was secondary in the deal. He says the sacrifice of money will pay off in the long run. The important thing is beating Chavez on February 4th in San Antonio, Texas. "Fighting against Chavez is a plus. It is worth a little more than just winning the world title. You have the possibility of going down in history as being the first boxer to beat Julio César Chávez, Jr., and I think that has a lot of meaning. I sacrificed a lot to go for the title. This is my dream. Financially I am not rich but I'm fine. What I want is the world title. I was hard to accept this proposal, but I'm good," Rubio said.

[QUOTE=Nesty]This is interesting.
Rubio is not cashing out for one last payday... but rather he is taking a step backwards (paycut) in order to give two step forwards (thinking of bigger paydays after beating JCCJR).
This is a fights.... i'm convinced Rubio thinks we can take JR and expose... |

[QUOTE=Drunk Punch]Rubio doesn't realize what a strong bargaining position he was in - Jr's team would have paid him anything to get in line in front of Martinez.[/QUOTE]

Well Rubio fought against Kelly Pavlik when Kelly was on top i think that must have been his biggest purse and this may be the second.
Truth be told i have always seen rubio as a journeyman and almost a bum, i dont really think he is a legitimate treath to JCCjr.
Stil... i would love to see... |
