    Biggest Winner Tonight: Bob Arum

    Accepted a buyout of Chavez's contract. Loses his next fight against a relatively unknown fighter in Fonfara and loses out on millions

    Let's remember, Arum offered Chavez both a fight against GGG and Froch.

    I'm all for freedom of contract, but haymon made a gamble on JCC and lost.

    Whatever crazy guarantees Haymon promised Chavez in order to make him leave Arum is probably now void due to the loss. At least, that's how most standard boxing contracts work.

        Yup. Now Haymon has the unenviable task of rebuilding Chavez over the next several years.

          He has a Chavez Jnr who not only been inactive for a year, but lost in a bad way and pissed off his fan base.

          Yup, this'll go well

            It was a good night for Bob Arum, things are going real well for him in general.

                its gonna come down to the ratings

                This fight had to go against Provo vs Matthysse and Rockets vs Mavs so I doubt this fight averaged more than 500k

                You can forget about putting that quitter on PPV anytime soon

                  GGG vs Chavez Jr would be a PPV because of GGG.

                    How much was he offered for GGG? And Froch?

                    I know both offers were $5M+

                    What an idiot lmaooo
