Chavez turns down Golovkin offer without extention

[IST-ra-GLEr2]

****** ass arum not making this fight. This could be a Foyt candidate or highligh reel atleast.

I don't like Arum either but in this case its basic contract business... There's no incentive for them to pay him big money and spend big money promoting a one-time appearance knowing he's jumping ship to the rival business the fight after that. Nobody would agree to that, Arum or otherwise. They'd have to lowball him to justify even bothering.

Chavez's fights with Vera drew huge ratings and his PPV with Martinez made huge money for Top Rank. Chavez-Golovkin would make huge money for Top Rank.

But they'd rather screw him out of a high profile/big money fight before he leaves for Golden Boy than cash in one last payday. It wouldn't be the first time for Arum.

This would have been a great fight, dam arum and his money agenda.
