Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez Wants Huge Purse For Estrada Rematch

Man it would be great to have that fight on a big undercard. Is he still being promoted by zanfer, I know he said that he's being promoted by teinken but whenever he fights in America or Mexico it's always zanfer

HBO needs to get a clue and start showing Gonzalez and Estrada's fights and start building up for a rematch between the two. God knows they'd both tear in Shiming. And with Viloria, Segura, the winner of Ruenrong/McWilliams there's plenty of quality action fights to be made for their sparse schedule.

Realistically, I think is very hard to see payments of a million dollars for flyweights and specially considering that most likely it has to be a split close to 50/50 since Gonzales has one belt but Estrada holds two. I know some could say Roman is undefeated or that he won the first fight which was a close match but in terms of prospective sales Estrada would be the A side (regarding casual fans). I hope Gonzales position is only to negotiate because if he is not flexible most likely we would never see the dreamed rematch.

at the bold. Like the disadvantage he had when Francisco Rodriguez Jr. moved up two divisions to fight him? Or like the disadvantage he had when Juan Francisco Estrada moved down a division to fight him?

Not to mention that the stoppage in the Rodriguez Jr. fight was one of the worst stoppages I've ever seen.

"So much has been talked about with respect to this fight, but if they do not pay me a million dollars - I will not fight."

Looks like we have the newest boxing diva right here. A million dollars, huh?

Looks like somebody is hesitant to fight the kingpin of 112 at his natural weight. Maybe because a possibly drained Estrada at 108 gave him all he could handle.

Chocolatito Knows that the first fight could have gone to "Gallito" because of the volume punch out put by Estrada, Estrada conected a whole lot more than Chocolatito in their first fight he knows how accurate Gallito is, and being in his natural weight (not weight drain) is a whole different animal.

The biggest fight at Flyweight, and possibly the biggest fight either men will have in their careers.

This is the highpoint. It doesn't get any bigger. There's not much chance Gonzalez gets a higher payday than this fight.

I can't see him getting near the million he's asking for, but you can clearly see why he wants to get paid.

All I see is a bunch of excuses in this post. It will be a good fight when it gets made and I have it 50/50 but of course I want Roman to pull out the W.

whoa, what the heck? i have gonzalez #4 p4p on my list, but i think i might need to put him at #6 or 7 now. this is not a warrior attitude imo.

It is a lie. Yesterday La Esquina Neutral contact him to ask him. He did not say anything about 1 million dollars. Total BS from Nicaragua press.

[Tay Roc]

I believe this purse would fulfill his needs.

At least you're consistent with your nonsense. I'll give you that.
