Thats what this article says....

The article quotes Chavez saying 600,000.

You know, if I'm Jr looking at a fight w/GGG and being realistic about it, it's a big risk.

I'd want a lot of ****ing money because if I take a whupping, I might have trouble drawing viewers at the same rate as I've been. It may be hard to get back to that level.

Having said that, I don't know what constitutes "a lot of ****ing money" in Chavez Jr's world.

wait people seriously having a go? arum pays his guys better than any other promoter

look at floyd and chino, 1.5m to chino lol, thats it! chavez was getting 2.5m plus ppv bonus, would have made double most likely

al haymon and richard are kunts, cannot wait until they are dead, hopefully it happens soon to save boxing

Chavez is a PPV fighter, Chino not so much....

what? you seem to be very uneducated on how revenue streams work dude

if the fight made 25 million, half immediately goes to the cable provider, so that leaves 12.5m, around 10 percent goes to the network, hbo in this case, so that leaves 10 million

4.5 million of that 10 million went to main event, around 1 million would have gone to the whole undercard, at least a few million goes in the promotion, it leaves little for arum too

chavez has just been talking to haymon and richard too much

Half of it goes to the network?!!?? lol you need help.

Bob Arum is killing boxing. Chavez shouldn't have to sign **** if he don't want to. Everybody standing up to Arum except for Poochiao.

But Jr is not fighting GGG on Boxing After Dark though, he's fighting him on HBO PPV.
If Jr thinks so highly of his ability to sell, then why not prove it... He has PPV upside money. $2.5m purse + PPV upside.

He proved it with Sergio. He doesn't need to make a Pacman mistake and waste all of his earning potential with Arum

Are we counting Latin Fury's?

was really looking forward to GGG bustin jr.'s lazy pig face up.

What Chavez did was the smart thing to do. Let that slave contract he has with Arum run out, then kick Arums old dust scumbag ass to the curb. Get with Haymond and start making some real money.
