Comments Thread For: Chavez: I'll Only Fight Golovkin Without an Extension

[jlcelestine]

Like I said on my previous post, loyalty is something that those guys from third world countries are being known for. It's easy for you guys to undermine his intelligence because of the route he took. But Loyalty to some is that. Being loyal. If you think that trump his intelligence, that's your opinion. Last time I check the guy still make $20 mil per fight.

He makes 20mil per fight off of talent and popularity. If he added some intelligence to that formula maybe he would be making 30mil a fight.

Again, he can still STAY LOYAL to Top Rank as a free agent. He will have the option to work with anyone he chooses and not be BOUND to them and all of their pitfalls legally.

And anyway, didn't he take a briefcase full of money from Oscar DeLaHoya to leave top rank?? Was that LOYAL??? That incident was well documented, so please explain how that factors into loyalty? And that isn't a bash on Pacquiao either.

Is it not petty for Top Rank to not go through with the fight? They are going to make a good chunk of change off of the fight. If they don't go through with it, they don't make any money, and they've spited Chavez who will certainly not do business with them again when his contract expires.


It's also questionable that we see Top Rank fighters continually baited into extensions right before big fights. They think they're threatening their fighters with missing out on big fights/paydays, but aren't they doing the same to themselves?



Please don't take me for a TR hater either, I'm just questioning their moves. I'm not really enamored by any of these promo banners

Could K2 not handle the promotion?

TR probably blocking the fight

In a lil over a month, Cotto will be fighting the middleweight champion, in his first fight in the division, and is seen as a viable opponent. But two years ago was too late to be a viable opponent for the welterweight champion moving up to fight him. How f.uckin' ****** is that?

Not to mention that before Floyd fought Cotto @ 154, Manny was trying to get a rematch with Cotto @ 150, but Cotto said that the catchweight was too low, and that Bob Arum was lying about his offer. So Floyd chose Cotto AT THE FULL 154, and Cotto made the highest payday of his career.

Chavez J, as shown here and in the Martinez fight, won't let people tell him what to do. He wants to fight Golovkin and if Haymon says no, Jr won't roll over for it.

Dude threatened to leave during Martinez againt he WBC and TR's wishes and he's fighting for it right now

He's not with Haymon yet. If this fight doesn't happen, it's because Bob Arum wouldn't let the fight go on without Jr. signing an extension.

who gives a damn about what Guerrero is doing, we want Pacquiao to stop getting a$$ ****d by Arum, become his own boss so he can have better opponents to match up with like Floyd, Thurman, Garcia or Porter.

Speaking of Guerrero, did you know this:

"Guerrero has sparred with Manny many times and he thinks he gets the best of Manny. He's made that public before that he used to beat Manny up in sparring. I see it a different way, but I would love that fight and I think it's a great fight,” Roach said in an interview with SecondsOut.com.

“There's a couple of other guys out there right now that I'm thinking about that are free agents. You look at Mayweather's last like four fights and so forth, if we can fight one of those guys that he went the distance with and knock that person out and be impressive, it puts us even closer to Mayweather because that's the fight we really want eventually," Roach said.

This is what cracks me up! "Guerrero is a beast, Floyd is scared to fight him!" "Floyd beat Guerrero, who cares he was cherry-picked!" "Can we fight Guerrero, please?"
