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

[Ringlife]

Gonzalez wants 1 Million for the rematch with Estrada don't think he will get it from HBO, maybe Showtime pays him that amount.

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.

I doubt it would headline it's own card if it's transmitted through HBO airwaves. Juan Francisco Estrasa has been on HBO2 twice and going for a third time in March in the rumored rematch against Brian Viloria, under the same card where Shiming will fight for the IBF strap against Amnat Ruenroeng. If anything I think Top Rank is going to be forced to tap into the lower weights if they really want to appeal to the Chinese audience, seeing as how Asian fighters of an elite level tend to be on the lower weight divisions.

Also, with TR showing more immediate interest in those weight divisions, HBO seems to be forced on the ride and will bring more exposure to those weights. Will the lower weights ever get massive support from the public or headline their own PPV? I highly doubt it, but headlining their own card on HBO doesn't seem like such a far fetched idea anymore. Thank you Zou Shiming

By "we", I thought he meant a million dollar license fee between the fighters, not just for himself.

[UTEP]

smdh, he's pricing himself out. he knows Estrada would give him that work in a rematch

[GMAN SUPREME]

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

you idiot Gonzalez already kicked estrada's ass.same thing will happen in a rematch.
