Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez Wants $1 Million For Estrada Rematch

[apocalypto]

Gonzalez needs to stop with the bs. Stop over pricing your self and running from the rematch

[Deevel916]

exactly, people say its unrealistic but if you dont ask you will never get it.

U can ask all u want. If the networks and promoters don't see any profit potential then he won't get it.

Say you see Kate Upton in a hotel no one is around do you approach her and try to work some game or do you **** it she is out of my league and walk away~

Hardly, if ever. Huguigo would know(I apologize if I mispelled your name, boss). Last I heard HBO offered 150k for the rematch then they bumped it up a few 100k's but I'm not sure anymore. Lol at 150k when shotime pays Leo Santa Cruz 750k to fight a sparring partner

150K is an absolute ****ing joke. However, I understand that HBO is in a weird position. Ever since I've been watching boxing, I can't name a time when the flyweight division got huge support from HBO/Showtime. They're probably assuming that the American audience won't care and the fight will flop in the ratings. The magnitude of the bout and its potential entertainment value warrant good purses, but HBO has gotten stingy. Do they give each guy a $1mill? Seems like a lot by HBO's standards.

doubt he will get it, hope he does but we all know he wont.

side note is anyone fighting tonight?

Roman deserves that kinda money but im afraid I have to say it but only haymon can milk that kind of money from the tv networks.

1 Mill for each fighter seems like a stretch to me, splitting 1 Mill seems a tad bit more logical. To be honest with you only the hardcore fans know these two fighters even exist, and yet most of the knowledgable fans of the sport don't even dare watch anything below the 122 weight division... I could also imagine what they are thinking and i just don't see how such an "underground" fight in one of the sport's smallest divisions could possibly pull it's own weight. Especially in a major network where most fans seek to watch two meatheads caving each others faces in.

I remember a few months ago, people were giving this guy "mad props" because he fought for "pride" and not money

500K each seems reasonable. The other obstacle: does this match headline its own card? I don't see HBO going for that either. I think they would put this as a co-main with a proven draw headlining, maybe GGG? 3G, Gonzalez and Estrada on the same card would be mind-blowing.

no he doesn't deserve that money? he doesnt have the big following to be demanding for that kind of money, he knows they are not going to give it to him and thats his way of getting away from getting his butt kicked
