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

[IMDAZED]

So he'd have to read the fine print, but Chavez' manager was well aware of that. It didn't help that Bradley was the beneficiary of the biggest robbery in recent times. And he ended up doing really well for himself, like 15m for 3 fights, way more than he would have gotten anywhere else

Yeah he was aware of it and cited it as one of the reasons they weren't buying Arum's BS.

Arum claims the Bradley deal contained an option for them to buy his next fight, unlike the deal they presented to Chavez. His manager didn't deny that. Though like Arum said, the guy didn't seem very well versed on contracts.

His manager didn't affirm it either. Actually, he said Arum is a liar. The fact that he raised that Bradley clause as an example is telling.

What does this mean in regard to the Froch fight.

Likely or not?

He spoke like a message board poster, didn't seem very clued in at all. Which is why Chavez is in court now when he could have finished his contract already.

Him and Arum will probably butt horns on opponent selection.

Don't know of Jnr has one more fight before the end date or his end date is next year period... expect Bob to fire back though.

should've just taken the one fight agreements

i bet haymon lines jnr up against a toprank fighter so arum gets his money.

Haymon sure gets his fighters paid, but i just dont know. Theres something always seems off when it comes to Haymon, as if theres some behind close doors stuff going on with him.

As long we get the fights we want,his fighters get paid while everything being on the upside, im all for boxers getting a good deal. But again, something just seems too good to be true.

Im sure theres people with me on this.

So Chavez Jr heading to Showtime? I didn't think Haymon fighters fight on HBO?

[Scipio2009]

So he'll go from possible fights with Froch or GGG... to the Rod Salkas of the world?

Yay. Can't wait to see what Al has in store for this career underachiever.

... in case you didn't know, possible fights with Froch (Matchroom) and Golovkin (K2) actually had nothing to do Chavez Jr; it had everything to do with Top Rank paying Chavez Jr $3m for fights that'll easily end up generating $20m (gate, PPV, sponsors, etc).

If Top Rank is out of the picture, Chavez Jr no longer has to deal with the attempt to stiff him out of his purse. Haymon and K2/Matchroom can sit together, discuss the potential fights, and negotiate terms that would be to the benefit of both parties; Golovkin being locked into an exclusive deal with HBO complicates things a bit, but it's still workable.

Negotiate the site of the fight, the sponsors of the event, the promotional logistics of putting things together, the TV rights situation, and whatever other odds and ends, and you make the fights.

If he loses, he loses; as long as there's still interest in seeing Jr fight, Haymon would continue to seek out the best opportunities for Jr, regardless of what you think of the fight.

Most likely

That means no GGG, Kovalev or Ward fight
