Comments Thread For: Roach Confirms: Chavez Not Coming To The Philippines

[Eastbay Giant]

heres what most of you wont understand, and will prob come out soon....but if you really thought chavez jr was gonna help a phillipino prepare for a huge fight against another mexican fighter, then you got it fkd up! mexican media would be all over him and he would lose mexican fans.
call me crazy but chavez jr vs camacho jr makes money right now and also helps him prep for fight versus a lefty in the winner of martinez v pwill.

Thank You! It's amazing how people are so quick to throw the guy under the bus when sparring with Pacquiao is all benefit to Pacquiao and NONE to Chavez Jr in preparation for Cotto. I don't even like Chavez Jr and can see that.

Vaca de Dinero calls the shots here kid. He can do watever he wants he doesnt need Cotto, Cotto needs him for a good payday.

Couldn't have said it better.

Without Roach in the corner against Cotto, Chavez is getting KTFO.

He hasn't fought anyone near the caliber of fighter that Cotto is.

What a fraud ducking a much smaller man than himself for what would be his 1st title opportunity not that he really deserved it anyway.

also lol @ anyone calling him a cash cow, as if anyone cares about him or buys his garbage PPVs against bums.

Chavez Jr should have been headlining that Yankee Stadium fight.

Chavez fears the worst.


If a lone cotto trained by himself vaca flaca can do it.

[Tamis!]

That's too bad!

My tiyos, who are big fans of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. are expecting to see their idol's son here in Manila, too bad he's not coming.

Oh well...

Are Rashad and Vanes confirmed for the trip? Hope they are.
