What is holding this fight up?

Rumors that Chavez Jr. was unwilling to sign the contract because Top Rank was making him sign an extension.

We'll see if the fight comes to fruition. I hope so. But I also think Chavez Jr. should stand his grown and not sign an extension with Bob.

from another article posted on BS.. Chavez does not want to sign a contract extension with TR..

great news, FOTY possibility right here

I never buy into these claims that a fight is 99% done. It is 0% done until both fighters sign the dotted line.

This fight was also "99% done" 3 weeks ago, but negotiations stalled.

Exactly. Wake me when it's 100% done.

after Chavez Jr. (The Thoroughbred) beats ggg a lot of people are gonna change their avatar to Kovalev or whatever other KO super hero is out there, last year it was Matthysse, this year it'll be ggg, and eventually kovalev will lose and there will have to be more super heroes/monsters created at Dr. Frankenstein's lab

"..[Matthysse] knocked him out and everyone was like, 'Superman! Oh! Superman arrived. He knocked Mike Dallas out. He knocked [Lamont] Peterson out. Oh sh--, Aquaman is back!' That’s not going to happen with the champ of the world if he's thinking that." - Angel Garcia

Yea, and also this is coming from the side that is essentially buttoned up, they want to be positive and not ***** the deal.

Exciting but pointless fight by any means. However, I would love to see GGG finish what Martinez couldn't do.

Danny doesn't have an opponent right now -- why don't you ask him to call Lucas again?

wow... I support GGG but this is ridiculous. Ward asked to fight him and he said NO! b/c he wanted to fight at 160. I hope Chavez jr wins. Who knows maybe his father's death will depress him in his camp; I doubt it will fuel him.
