Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Waiting on Offer From Arum For Sept. 13

[Bronx2245]

So Arum says he wants to work things out with Oscar.....then tries to schedule a card on the same date as Mayweather??? That is just ******, i see why Chavez wants to leave why would you try to schedule a fight on the same day as Floyds?

And people still wonder why Floyd won't work with Bob Arum ever again.

If he offered him $47 million I would seriously have to question Haymon's business judgement. Considering what we know about Haymon, he doesn't operate at a loss ever, so I doubt there is any truth to that. $47 million is just an insane money for a guy who was just earning like $2 million a fight.

chavez is worth more with haymon and gbp then arum he obviously feels there is un tapped wealth there

I mean, Chavez is Mexican. If he wants to fight on his country's independence day I can't blame him.

A Chavez main event card could dent a Mayweather PPV card in September. Just sayin'.

2 different fan bases. Tickets to Floyd fights are sold to casinos. Very few seats get sold to the public. People that get tix to Floyd fights probably won't be going to a Chavez fight.

Besides, Floyd doesn't enter the ring until after midnight ET. Chavez fight will be over by then.

If they wanna go head to head with a Floyd PPV they better come correct. Needs to be a solid opponent and a deep card as well.

The Mayweather card will be strong for sure. It's supposed to have unification between Leo Santa Cruz and Scott Quigg on it.

rumor is Haymon was offering him 47 million.

Arum won't match that nor would HBO put up that kind of money. if Chavez tries to leave before his contract expires he'll be sued, because we all know you don't F with Uncle Bob.

Even Mayweather paid Arum to get out his contract with him

basically Chavez just killed his career. when he fights for Arum again, ol' Bob is going to throw him to the wolves and milk him for every cent. by the time Haymon gets him, he won't be worth piss.

Since when an adviser/manager makes offer to fighters? Offers are made by promoters and Networks. That story was BS. He probably promise him to make that much if he dont sign with TR and move to Showtime and Mayweather Promotions.

Chavez vs GGG will out number floyds numbers in every way! Believe that!!! I mean who is floyd gona cherry pick for Sept? If greedy SOB Bob can put together a decent card sept 16 will be his date!!! VIVA MEXICO CABRONES! Make it happen at the Forum!!!!!!

Chavez last fight HBO were talking about how he was reduced to fighting in half empty arenas. Still draws more than alot but think you guys/girls are overrating his drawing power

Stuff like this is why Mayweather vs Pac will never get made. Imagine if Chavez does leave and sign with Haymon you know Floyd will have him on one of his PPV undercards eventually next year.
