I'd say its more about maximizing their upside then they NEED Chavez on the card. IF its even true cuz I think BPP is suggesting this is bs
But like I said go look at those Floyd cards back in the day. LSC was on a few of them. Broner was even fighting a Mexican on one of them I remember. Did Floyd NEED these Mexican dudes on the card to sell? Hell no, but it likely maximized his upside to to entice some Mexican casual fans who were on the fence about buying the card.
I don't think its ever a bad idea on a big US card to throw some Mexicans guys in featured spots. Its only gonna help you to do so.
After BBP's schooling of TS. I think the most like likely scenario is Chavez Jr is going to DAZN and Sr is hardballing Hearn in negotiations.
Idk about that. Most fans don't care who's the co-main of a PPV to begin with. Its only us hardcore fans that gaf. But you do get some Mexican casuals on board cuz of Chavez...and lets not bs like EVERYONE isn't doing some placating to that Mexican casual fanbase that can make you some extra money.
I mean ffs the last several years of Floyd's career he fought on Mexican boxing holidays, usually not even against a Mexican. But I believe there was always strategically places Mexicans on those cards the less Mexican or less Latino the opponent was or the smaller the fight was. Its not an uncommon tactic.
I guess those two are big enough to sell it then. Chavez name is still big no matter what but it’s a sad day when the big two names at HW needs a fighter like Chavez to sell their PPV.
Are you living in a FANTASY world. Our site is owned by CBS, which is the parent company of Showtime, and I have to show you proof?
Talk about ignorant. LOLOLOLOL!
Lmao spot on man! These Wilder fanboys are in damage control!
That Mexican audience is something they are often chasing with PPV's. I could see that being the logic here.
Don't know how good it'll work doe. I think Chavez Jr isn't exactly beloved or a fan favorite or taken very seriously by many Mexican boxing fans these days. Maybe a lot of casual Mexican fans will still jump on it idk.
I don’t see any issue with him fighting on that card, to be co-main shows they don’t think Wilder/Fury names can carry the card as the main fight. It’s a poor way to sell that fight.
Show me the evidence then. And what reporters??

No, you are wrong.
A video, not an article. The writers there are not going to make such a claim.
More than a few reporters already called Showtime about the claim of Chavez Sr. and they were laughed off the phone when asked if Chavez Jr. would co-headline the card.
Just like Chavez Sr. claimed they had signed contracts for Martinez and Eddie Hearn said it was 100% false.
Every week Chavez Sr. has a new story on his son and every week it becomes fake news.

You are wrong. There is a video on the ESPN boxeo page even.

24 hours ago we thought Chavez Jr was fighting Martinez
You have zero evidence that Degale is fighting Chavez. Both Degale and Eubank have all but said that they are fighting next. That's the whole reason why Degale vacated his title.
Interesting. I'd assume the CEO of Sergio's promotion would know whats up. He's legit the CEO?
If thats the case than yea you gotta assume it'll be a bs fight to not threaten the Martinez fight.
Is that Joyce vs Ortiz sh^t for real?
That seems like a horrible fight for Joyce & a lose lose fight for Ortiz. I'm surprised its for real if it is for real.
Respect to Joyce if he pulls that one out doe, but I think that'll be the grand closing of the Joyce project at a real level if that happens in December. Joyce going to be fighting David Price or Amir Mansour before Wilder or Joshua if thats his Dec. 1 opponent.
Hold up, I think Ive worked this out. Chavez Jr vs Degale?
He cites a report that doesn't even exist on ESPN Deportes and people run with it like it's the truth - with Chavez Sr. as the source... LOL

No tune up fight for Jr at 168 is a mismatch. He struggled against Brian Vera remember.
That was 5 years ago too, lol. Jr would probably have trouble vs Paul Williams at this point.
No Chavez vs Martinez II. https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1045988354272251904
