      What Chavez Jr. gave up:

      $7M and a fight with GGG plus several more fights with Top Rank and HBO possibly paying him over $3M per fight and easy match making with the potential another big PPV fight with Froch.

      What did he get as a result of him turning Arum down?

      A loss to with a fringe contender on a smaller network.

      Well Done.

        Yes but I hope Bradley,Crawford and others in ww and jww will leave his ass because if they don't they have to limit themselves, they will lock up from the Haymon fighters, that wouldn't be a huge problem in a weightclass which isn't ruled by Haymon but ww and jww are pretty ruled by him so I hope that Crawford, Mikey Garcia and Bradley are jump ship.

              chavez jr was never that big anyways, only 10k tickets sold at the alamodome for the rubio fight..
              if he is not a big draw in texas where the most mexicans are then he is not a big draw at all..

                TR protected him for a reason he's not very good

                I sometimes really wonder who does Haymon's matchmaking this fight made zero sense there was only 1 way it could go

                It appears clear at this point Chavez isn't cut out for the sport cash him out asap , he did basically lose to Bryan Vera...enough said.

                  Haymon's matchmaking is his biggest (arguably only) weakness. Lots of mismatches and poorly chosen step-up fights are his trademark.

                      I'm sure people will enjoy seeing him again after his last fight. That's why there were booing and throwing their beer in the ring.

                      Things will be different next time.....
