Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Holding The Line, Wants To Be Free Agent

[HanzGruber]

got weird feeling he going to mayweather promotions remember few months back him and mayweather were hangin out

I thought the same thing. Make him fight jleon love. Loser has to sign with arum

[Det. Conan]

i dont think he rates himself that high in the ring but he does know he brings fans and money he is one best when comes to selling himself mostly because of his name

After his series of sucks performances plus his undesirable work ethics outside the ring
& during training, his fan base & popularity was rapidly depleting. This is the time he needs Bob & his machineries the most to bring those back

[Hougigo]

Now he says his contract doesn't end next year? Better get a chair because he's gonna be ditty for a ehile

[Scipio2009]

I wonder what he thought was a fair guarantee with out extention?

If the offer for the first fight on the two-for was $6.6m, $4m-$5m, to me would've been a more than fair offer for Top Rank to put forward, getting Chavez Jr's last fight out of the way and giving the company a chance to sit and negotiate a longterm deal with Chavez Jr.

The guy's not a doof; he knows that he draws well on TV, in US and Mexico. He wants a fairer chunk of the pie, or at least the opportunity to look and see what the best offer there is for him to get.

Damn chavez passed on nearly 7 mill. Wow maybe Haymon can get him fights with bika,and Jermaine Taylor for 8 mil each. That's prolly the hold up guys

October 2nd 2015 Chavez Jr launches Lazy Bastard Promotions. This dude is about as high risk as it gets anywhere below 175lbs. $6.6 million isn't bad considering what he was just getting for his last two fights.

[KnockoutKings]

It's a shame one promoter can be so bad for the sport, cause so many disturbance, have so many breakdowns, and feuds with other people in the business, yet people still defend him and act like GBP is the bad guy.

Yet, GBP are the ones with the "internal feud". And they do more in house fights than Top Rank lol

All promoters are snakes.

Can't wait till Jr loses his next fight. I really hope Bob feeds this spoiled brat a real super middleweight this time.

How dare Jr. be given equal money to GGG? Chavez has 2 million is his sofa cushions.

lol. ****in Jr.

Never bite the hand that feed's you.. As much as I supported Jr once the paid off judges dissapear so do his victory's and career..*** he just took a giant **** on his dinner plate dumb azz

Are you idiots serious? I have NEVER been a fan of Chavez but man you guys dont even know the business. He is the ONLY fighter as of late, to not fall for the extension trick. You guys dont realize how he just dooped Arum and Im personally SHOCKED he out of all people DIDNT fall for it.

Ghost and Bradley BOTH fell for it, and wasnt smart enough to know the business side of it. These promoters wait until you get a big fight, they dangle it in front of you, and make you sign the extension or else they wont give you that fight.

6 million for GGG with the extension is WAAAY different from 1 fking million without the extension. They lowballed Chavez because their bitter and made up an excuse about how they would lose money if they built him up then let him leave the company.

He's already built up and the fight itself would have made everyone rich.

Golden boy tricked Ghost that way. Floyd needed Ghost so Ghost didnt have to sign an extension to get a Floyd fight. He signed the contract to get the Floyd fight but who else was Floyd going to fight? Thats Ghost's fault for not realizing it. Bradley did the same thing. Pac needed Bradley more than Bradley needed him. Who is Pac going to fight? Mike Alvarado, Rios, and JMM 6 & 7? Pac is so dry on opponents, that Bradley could have even demanded a high guarantee and STILL not have signed the extension. They would have had no choice but to do what Bradley wanted but Bradley is a moron. He could have fought Pac, then went to GB and fought all the real fighters in the division. Now he will fight bums at TR like Rios and Alvarado trilogies.

I have NEVER been a Chavez supporter but man look at how this kid just shocked Arum. I have a LOAD of respect for this kid. He just tricked the biggest crook in boxing and you guys dont even realize what type of move he just pulled. Arum NEVER saw this coming.

He so bitter he trying to give Chavez FIVE MILLION LESS for fighting GGG WITHOUT the extension. The fight itself was going to make so much money for Arum and Chavez. All the talk about building Chavez up was just a BS excuse because the kid was going to actually lose the fight and his stock was going to plummet. Props to Chavez for both WANTING the fight, knowing his worth, and crapping on Arum's parade. And btw, Chavez is a MUCH more bigger name than GGG. GGG hasnt even fought have the competition Chavez has fought.

Those paid off judges can work both ways. I recall Manny was going to be a free agent when suddenly he loses to Bradley. Coincidence?

hopefully a-rum will just drop dead soon
