Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr Claims Free Agent Status, Top Rank Disagrees

[Citizen Koba]

wouldn't work out that way, who ever his last fight would be Arum would make him have to sign a new contract. So that's why Chaves didn't fight anyone. Arum even tried to strong arm him send corrupt Mexican cops to his family home to get him to sign. He's trully a p.o.s

Bob Arum may be a POS but in this case I think he has the law on his side. All he needs to prove is that he offered Jr. legitimate fights (without contract extension) which he turned down.

Apparently he did so - Jr was offered the GGG fight without extension at a rate which would seem to be in line with his last major fight (Maravilla) despite being way below what he would have got if he'd agreed to a contract extension.

In addition there seems to be a dispute over timing - some months ago Arum was claiming Jrs contract ran on til late 2015 (extended, I think, due to his suspension - which is fairly standard), now he seems to be saying Apr 2016 for some reason.

He wouldn't care now technically he is a free agent. His contract is up, regardless if he had one fight. Otherwise he would be on contact for life. Lol it's the promoters job to get the fight without side extensions, fighters are not ******.

You're just trolling dude.

War Chavez! Good for you... 10 smarter than pac-tard!

Chavez Jr. vs. Froch is my preference from a purely entertainment perspective.

This here.

Doesn't everyone want to see these two club each other to death? Does anybody give Jr. a good shot? They both have granite beards, Froch definitely has the stamina and better boxing skills.

Not true. All of those contracts had extensions. Go back and find the article where it didnt add fights. I think he wanted to extend it and add two more fights, and Chavez didnt want any type of extension at all.

There was one for $2m v Golovkin without an extension. That's the one Chavez felt was too low.

Its been so long you may be right. And Arum said something about, "I dont want to help build you up, give you a payday, then you leave!" Im coming down off some bud, plus its been a long time. And GGG was supposed to be one of his biggest fights so he didnt want to be paid the same he would be paid for fighting a bum.....?

Yall gotta refresh my memory.
