This was a quick cash grab.

Chavez has not looked good in years. So how could we expect a weight drained version to do better. This ppv was sold on his name, not his "superstar status". It is harder to be disappointed if you seen it coming.

It's funny how Andy Lee somehow became the benchmark for the middleweight division. Chavez knocked out Lee, so he was a legit fighter. Quillin drew with Lee, so Quillin is a legit fighter, and therefore Jacobs was a legit fighter for knocking out Quillin. And Saunders is legit because he beat Lee. Lee is such a weird fighter to judge. Some of his fights he gets beat on outboxed and almost KO'd then could turn around and ko you. Honestly GGG, Canelo, Jacobs, BJ(not the fat version) might be the best right now in mw. BJ also imo had the better resume then Jacobs with lee and eubanks wins. I wanna see how it goes with this upcoming Ukrainian fighter in mw Derevyanchenko, he looked kinda like Loma his last fight.

Was he now? Then they proves my post below. As soon as he made the weight he knew that's it. He made his millions and no need to bother himself. i was mistaken, not 40K, 400K :rofl:

Haha I can almost guarantee he won't​ fight again until he burns through all of his money. Then he'll have a "serious" come back, this time "he means business!" What a clown. So many fighters would kill to have his opportunities. Guys who work their asses off 24/7 and never get the chances because they don't have the right connections, can't afford to train full time let alone have an entire team dedicated to them. And this guy over here gets everything handed to him because of his dad and in turn he squanders the opportunities by half-assing training and nutrition. I guess that's always the biggest difference between fighters who were born privileged and those that are born hungry. The latter are the ones that are the elites and the champions. Almost never to you see the greatest fighters who were born and raised with lots of money. dinamita just said on ESPN that they (Jr and his team) were selling smoke every time they said this was the best training camp he had. he went hard on nacho too.

But but but but the NSB Trolls said it was better, bigger and more meaningful than Chavez vs GGG.

Well it worked... got my money... not gonna lie Lol u a fool

I wouldn't say it was a dive but half way through the fight, Chavez was looking for a way out. He probably thought he was going to give it a go in the first 5 rounds and when that didn't work he would bail out. Chavez threw a pathetic 302 punches in 12 rounds. Landing 77 of them. That is such a pitiful effort. Chavez threw 11 punches in round 4. That's the sign of a guy who quit. He made Canelo, who is slow and flat footed, look like Lomachenko. :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

chavez jr was shopping right after the weigh in, dude was buying 40K watches for his entire family, that's in one of elie's videos. total cash grab. Was he now? Then they proves my post below. As soon as he made the weight he knew that's it. He made his millions and no need to bother himself.

Do you really have to pay this Chavez to take a dive? Really? I do agree with you doe.. THIS was a quick cash grab by Chavez. Six million dollars!!! And the only commitment he made was cutting his weight down to 164, for him he won after making the weight.

No shit. I thought everyone knew that? Last time Chavez fought a decent opponent was a couple years ago against Fonfara and he got KOd. He obviously didn't earn himself a big PPV. But he's Mexican and has the Chavez name on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Mo money Mo money Mo money. What was brilliant was the tactic by Golden Boy/Canelo to announce the Golovkin fight minutes after the fight and immediately everyone has already forgotten about the PPV ripoff with Chavez and how shitty of a fight it was lol. Gotta hand it to them, that was fucking brilliant because now everyone is excited about September. I would have been pissed if I bought that PPV, but now we're all talking about the real fight in September! I agree, twitter is blowing up about GGG vs Canelo. I think it does good ppv numbers.

Hey man don't let Canelo/Golden Boy off the hook for Chavez's crappy performance because they knew exactly what they were signing up for. In fact, they chose him for exactly that reason - extremely low risk with huge reward. Canelo could have fought anyone he wanted to tonight, including Golovkin, but he chose Chavez, a guy who's​ done absolutely nothing since getting KOd against​ Fonfara, who has looked terrible in recent years (literally hasn't looked good since round 12 against Martinez in 2012). Of course Chavez is going to jump on the opportunity to pocket millions of dollars since his career has been practically dead since losing to Fonfara. This is all Canelo and Golden Boy. Well give them credit for gypping a lot of folks. They got two mexicans together on a big stage with a lot of mexicans americans excited for a chance to see the fight which turned into a sh*tshow only to detract the viewers with the finale of GGG vs Canelita in the end

That was a great move, and totally worked on me.. when the ppv ended I was stoked about September

I knew what chavez would bring to the table. Nothing! Nada!

Made upwards of 10 mil for the worst performance I've seen in a PPV Main Event. He's disgraced himself. But he got rich doing it.

Well it worked... got my money... not gonna lie

Oscar De La Mula laughing all the way to the bank. Wouldn't shock me if it did some good PPV buys!

Of course it was a cash grab. No sports reason the fight should have taken place other than the fact that many wanted to see it and there was a demand from the fans for it. Think Lennox Lewis/Tyson. Tyson was so past his prime only reason it took place was because of the $$$ Bet you the rating in Mexico for this fight are through the roof.
