Yea, JCC Jnr let it be known he was having his lawyers taking care of it in his last interview.
Bob in a FH interview said he's owed one more fight and that TR will listen to their lawyers..... so sounds to me nothing will happen and it'll go on -

SOOO just because Bob Arum gave us historic fights IN THE PAST he is allowed to act up now? FCCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHT SON. Grandpa Arum needs to go sit tha fck down already.
Let Chavez Jr breathe, let Mikey Breathe, Leth Pacquiao breathe etcComment

How is Arum 'acting up' exactly? He tried to get Chavez to fight either Carl Froch or GGG for great money and Jr responded by running away to Haymon to fight Fonfara instead.
Haymon has killed more big fights in the last 6 months than Arum has in his 50 year promotional careerBob Arum blocks more fights than he makes. It took him 6 years to let Pacquiao fight Mayweather.
Add Chavez's ducking Froch/GGG to the list with Stevenson avoiding Kovalev, Santa Claus running from Rigo, and yes... Floyd ducking Manny for 6 years and counting.Comment

He gets GGG and is forced to fight 3-5 more fights under Arum depending on their outcome. A little demanding especially if you feel you could be making more with a manager that only "advises" decisions as opposed to forcing themComment

No one outside of Floyd is making the sort of money that Top Rank's fighters are making, not even counting Manny. Arum offered him $7 million to fight GGG or Froch on PPV with a promise of $10 million for his next fight if he won and like $5 mil if he lost. Again, dude opted to breach his contract and fight Fonfara for probably $1 mil-1.5 mil TOPS. Arum even offered him a one fight deal.
And check with Santa Cruz about that whole 'just an adviser' thing

Agree...
Some folks just don't understand the business aspect....or they let ignorant biases cloud sound judgment...Fighters are signing with Haymon because they're making more money with him & assume more control over who they get in the ring with simple as that....Comment

It's funny you say that when both you guys clearly are ignorant about the subject
The fact of the matter is, Chavez is not making more money to fight fellow ducker Stevenson's leftovers than he would've fighting GGG on PPV. The deal Arum offered him was only a 2 fight deal where he would've made a MINIMUM $12 million if he lost and $17 million if he won. When he turned that down, Arum offered him a 1 fight deal to fight GGG or Froch on PPV.
But keep thinking a Fonfara fight is gonna make him that type of bank.
And again, it's downright comical that you people think these guys are going over to Haymon to 'be their own boss' or assume more control over who they fought when one of his fighters JUST let us know how things over at PBC really work:
Last week on BoxingScene.com, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya explained the circumstances which led to the buyout of Leo Santa Cruz's promotional contract. According to De La Hoya, the moment he tried to negotiate a super bantamweight unification bout between Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17KOs), who holds the WBC title, and WBA/WBO champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10KOs) - Santa Cruz's manager Al Haymon stepped in and exercised a clause where he was able to immediately purchase the unbeaten Mexican's contract.
As previously reported, WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz appeared on The Zone Radio and confirmed the recent statements by Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya, who said Santa Cruz's manager Al Haymon rejected WBA/WBA champion Guillermo Rigondeaux as a possible opponent. "Haymon told me that it wouldn't be an interesting fight and none of the fans would be happy to see that fight," Santa Cruz said.
Again, this was just a few days ago. Guys go to Haymon because they know they'll be overprotected and still paid relatively well while getting lots of dates because of his TV deals. Has nothing to do with gaining more control. The man has clauses in his contracts to kill any fight he wants. He's much more than a mere 'adviser'.Comment
