Comments Thread For: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Inks Contract With Al Haymon

[jose.sooto]

This undisciplined fat fuck is going to get even much easier fights than when he was with Arum.

The nerve.... AS IF Top Rank's top guys faced elite opposition, last time i checked Pacquiao is fighting fckin chris algiero, Timmy is fighting fckin diego chaves and Juan Manuel Marquez last fight was against garbage ass mike alvaros... SMH

[jose.sooto]

Now if only pac could free himself from that rotten house top rank..

[MrRolltide91]

can froch/chavez jr still happen?

It's basic business practice, you get incentive to sign a contract

A guaranteed purse isn't an incentive, or at least it shouldn't be for fighters. That's what got Bradley messed up and now he knows he got sold a pipedream with that supposed $10m rematch "guarantee" against Pacquiao. Anyway, Arum never made an offer to Chavez that didn't include an extension, at least according to both Arum and Chavez. Every offer had that caveat.

No, both Arum and Chavez' manager say there was a no extension offer, just for much less money:

The "one bout offer" was for one extension, meaning one more fight. That's why they keep comparing it to the "two fight extension."

Arum indicates to BoxingScene that Chavez is obligated to Top Rank for one more fight and has until October of 2015 to fulfill that obligation. Top Rank made an initial offer of $6.6 million to face Golovkin, with a clause for a two-fight extension. After Chavez rejected the initial offer, Arum says a second offer was made for $7 million with a one fight extension and Chavez had until June 2015 to fulfill that one fight obligation. If Chavez lost to Golovkin, then Top Rank would guarantee him $5 million for the next fight. And if he beat Golovkin, then Top Rank would guarantee him $10 million for the next fight.

So that would be what he was referring to. Unless this was a third offer from Arum?

[Build That Wall]

Chavez Jr is a fat turd, Cong**** to him anyway.

[-Kev-]

Hmm, what will this do for Chavez Jr? I know Andre Dirrell and Sakio Bika are Haymon fighters. Will Chavez Jr make 160 to fight Quillin?

[Teetotaler]

So Chavez jr on Floyd's undercards and banter?

No that's not it. This was well publicized

"We agreed on the purse [offered in the deal with the extension], the venue, the weight, the opponent. We agreed on everything except the two-fight extension," Keane said. "Top Rank was not willing to honor that deal without the extension. Subsequently, they offered a stand-alone fight without the extension but the basic terms included a guarantee for what Julio made for [the first Bryan Vera fight], the same guarantee that Golovkin was getting and less than one-third of the original offer with the extensions, which is obviously far below what is fair for pay-per-view fights of this stature."
