Another site just posted that promoter Bob Arum has offered Chico Castillo $2 million for a PPV rematch with JLC. As always, money talks, and a rematch would be the best move financially for Team Corrales. But does Chico want the fight? Will Gary Shaw bite? Will Chico's people in-fight and scrap over money and ruin the deal? Should Chico wait until after Mayweather beats Gatti?
REACTION!!!!
P.S. - Some of you are over-exaggerating Corrales' ability to keep Castillo off him. Even when Corrales backed off and "boxed" Castillo was right there with him landing his own jab.
If they do rematch, JLC might not be so gung-ho with his defense taking shots before he gets to land his own. Chico has a pyschological advantage over him knowing he can hurt & finish him. Chico used the jab sparringly against him. If he uses it more he'd be able to control him more than the last fight because of his power.
the first fight was great and i would love to see the re-match but is not the best move financially for chico a fight with morales is morales is the biggest mexican star right now and a ppv hit everytime he figths a fight with morales gets him more $ and it would be a hell of a fight .
It might be the only move for chico as Arum controls both fighters. (Castillo and Morales)

i can't see chico accepting..................2 million bucks and a 2 steel hammers belting him around again is not much of an enticement....
i think chico is content with his fortunes and faulty mouthpiece from the fight and will close that chapter.
Corrales is stalling right now..waiting to see if he can set up a fight with Morales..because his team ..feels that he can handle Morales easily...so im hoping that doesnt come through and he will have to give Castillo a rematch that he so rightfully deserves
i read in an interview w/arum on bt that morales is not moving up that he's looking to match him up w/barrera 4 or pac 2 later this year.

You know what would be better?
Corrales-Castillo II in SACRAMENTO!!!!!
YA!!!!!!!!!
hmm
Coralles wanted to please the fans and go to war. He fought Castillos fight and won.
Please...as if it's that clear and cut. Corrales fought the fight he fought because his team thought that was the best way to do it. Jump on Castillo because he is a slow starter and drain him. It wasn't that easy though, was it? Corrales was very close to losing the fight himself. No one thought he would be able to win in the last round, and even though he did many people feel without the extra time he got, he might have succumbed anyway.
$2 million is plenty. These guys ain't De La Hoya or Jones and they cannot expect $6 million a fight. They just can't. If they hold out for more than $2 million they just won't be fightin'...period.
Rest for a few months, train a couple months, then fight again.

lmao.......
Im glad im the only one that noticed this guy, he has been doing it since the Chavez era. We call him osito panda cause he used to have his black and white before. I swear my whole family hates his ass and its funny cause my girl recently started watching boxing with me and hates the fucker to. Somtimes she will be like what the fuck is wrong with these slow old man.
During a fights introduction the Mariachis had just finish playing and Larry had the nerve to say something like "playing this music in a price fight is senseless."
The only thing senseless in a price fight is him.
They should take a rematch for a bigger purse.
The promoter has a scale on which to make an offer, and they will offer the minimum of this scale. It is up to the fighter's manager/negotiator to secure a bigger purse.
2 mil. is the bottom of the scale, some fighters get 8 to 10 mil to throw 50 punches in twelve rounds.
Their rematch will be a mega fight and their salary should reflect that status.
Well not all of em is perfect. Merchant does suck sumtimes and Jim is jest biased and have his favorite fightas. Can't please evryone na I mean.
wtf?? did you say ..... know what I mean????
Do you know what you mean???? :confused:
did you see the match a few years back when Larry made a reference about a fight, saying "this was a great fight, whether you speak Mexican, English...." My Chicano room-mate at the time nearly destroyed our TV when he heard Merchant say "speak Mexican" I had to leave the room for my own safety :)

The rematch would not be a war. Coralles wanted to please the fans and go to war. He fought Castillos fight and won. Even before the mouth piece incidents, he hurt castillo a couple of times; it was just at the end of a round.
In a rematch he would stand outside and use the jab and either catch Castillo with some heavy shots or win a decision.
As good as the first one was, the second one has the potential to be pretty boring. Besides the second fight usually doesnt live up to the first one. Ex. Gatti/ward, MAB/ Morales. I say skip the second fight and go straight to the third....if that was possible.
Larry "The Mexican Hater" Merchant you know that guy acts like he doesnt know the sport with all his baised opinions. My whole family hates his ass cause he has been talking his baised shit since we can remember.

Castillo is one dimensional accordin to Larry Merchant.

Funny you say that he is the only guy to ever really beat Mayweather but guess what he got robbed.In the rematch he lost a very close fight no excuses from Mayweather this time. He beat Lascano a guy with power that fights from the outside very well and won a clear ud. Either way that Corrales wants to fight Castillo will be a great fight. I would never call Castillo one dimensional, his style is to break you down from what ever type fight you want to give him. One dimensional fighters are named Manny. :boxing:
