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

[Grimgash]

Oh man you must be drooling over Mayweather-Maidana with that comment!

At least its not a rehashed fight.

You suck ggg dyck even though he clearly DUCKED Ward! He has YET to respond back to Ward! My man Ward said HBO is trying to "Force feed us ggg into a star" And that he wasn't there yet.

He also said "GGG said he would fight anybody from 154-175 and anybody does mean ANYBODY." He said they could fight at 168 so what did ggg team say after Ward told hussle boss that? Not a damn thing.

He can fight jr. at 168 on HBO/PPV but can't fight Ward who also fights for HBO is at 168, and is looking for an opponent?

So you support ggg avoiding Ward now?

Calm down guy, veins popping outta your head like someone's been seeing ur bf Andre Ward behind your back

I've never understood why most Pacquiao fans here also feel they have to be Bob Arum fans.

Why side with a promoter trying to strong-arm any fighter? Loyalty has little to do with business, most especially the boxing business. Average fighter has a very limited timeframe in which to earn as much money as he possibly can. That fighter won't be able to call Arum, or Schaefer, or DiBella for help 15 years after their career is over and the chips are down.

Hopefully Chavez stands strong. Arum is the man who once said something to the effect of "we let the blacks and Latinos fight it out in the ring and we count the money on the outside."

at loyalty in business...

These baited extensions are standard practice for Top Rank; good to see a fighter in the position to reject the propositioning, actually reject it. Chavez can get a Golovkin fight with or without Top Rank; I wonder if Arum's trying to get a piece of GGG (in the form of options on future fights or just currying favor).

Chavez should do the best for himself and his career. If that consists of becoming and maintaining free agency status, he should.

Loyalty... ...

Nice enough not to sue..... well... if they want him afterwards, they're hurtng their chances. This thing will either happen with or without him

[TMT CHAMPION]

Great move Jr. Only if these Pacquiao fans would understand how Bob Arum did Chavez Sr., Mayweather, De la Hoya, etc. Real boxing fans know that Arum is the reason Mayweather vs Pacquiao aint happened yet. Sign wit #TMT Chavez Jr.

Why do I sense Al Haymon will somehow play a role in Jr career in the near future. I doubt Haymon has spoken with him, but someone has clearly been talking to Jr about future options. These contract extensions have typically been a small formality in TR, but somehow have now become points of contention.

Supposedly Haymon offer 47mill to JJC Jr. to sign with him. thats why Schaefer don't want to do bussines with TR, beacause he knows TR ship is sinking fast and the most renown names of TR are abandoning ship and heading in diferent directions....Haymon being one of those options.

good. sooner arum is out of business the better.

I remember that popular saying it's not personal it's just business.

Loyalty sounds like something that is personal.
