    HBO is so smart and top notch that they......

    Paid Chavez Jr 2.5m to come in out of shape in a tune up fight. Top notch business move by HBO.

    What the fuq can he achieve except more robberies over C-grade fighters? He ain't the cash cow anymore.. Just a regular cow.. What can they do with him, apart from feed him to GGG?

      2.5 M? Really HBO? ****** move to pay that much for a lazy big name bitch who can't even make the initial weight limit and only draws 3K in live attendance? I hope HBO and TR are done with him.

          In fairness to HBO JCC Jr. has done ratings in the past, it isn't really their fault he made a mess out of this fight.

          JCC Jr. is a suspect investment going forward though at 168 he will have big problems if he can even make that weight and 175 he would get wrecked on by the big punchers there.

                  What name? He sold less then 2,000 tickets last night and his ppv with Martinez was way under 700,000 Chavez is not a draw anymore to tell you the truth never has been with all the amount of investment put into him.

                    it's an unfortunate reality that HBO is forced to cater to bob arum's needs at this point. if he leaves their network before goldenboy comes back hbo is literally finished.

                    i hope they never bring chavez back again, but that's not being realistic.
