Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez Focused on Cuadras Next, For The Right Price

[BestPR]

...sure they deserve to get paid, but c'mon let's keep it real...personally I think he's running from Estrada...he's gonna out price himself...give him 100 pesos and get 'er done!

just imagine if ward wasn't making 2 million dollars to fight alexander brand. you could get a couple good roman gonzalez fights out of that but oh well. tomato can have to be be taught a lesson.

Thats sad...and these haters complain -- tha P4P legend getting paid peanuts nevermind guys like Caveman Guerrero and ET Berto.

get the feeling he will ask for too much money, he said he would fight estrada for one million then changed his mind and asked for two million and then in an interview i saw on youtube he just said he wasnt interested in estrada anymore,, i hope this fight gets made though

All I read here is butthurt no sound logic -- Cuadras and Innue are #1. and #2. @ 115 FACT. Gonzalez is daring to be great FACT, RG makes history with a win FACT...he sets himself to become Lineal FACT (for bigger Purses.) He solidifies his seat at the top of the P4P FACT. He already beat Estrada FACT. According to Estrada hes in no shape to fight Chocolatito FACT...do some research on the matter.

Ironically the butthurt is coming from you.
Cuadras is highly ranked because of his paper title and the fact that 115 is a joke. That win don't mean ****. But keep trying to big up his fights, I'm sure the infrequent moments you spend as his jizz rag are worth it for you.

I saw you just ****ting on the Nietes-Estrada fight so youre clearly a troll, or Romoney Dinerito Coinzales' number one fangirl.
115 is a joke.
That fight is way more meaningful than Roman's crappy-ass fight with Cuadras.
You say he already beat Estrada then why not beat him again to get nearly every title at one of the toughest weightclasses in the sport?
You make a big deal about lineal whatever for Roman, Nietes is an actual official unanimous lineal champion.

Every time he gets asked about Estrada, the price goes up.
He sounds just as unconfident as you.
First time he fought him for chump change, now he wants to be made a millionaire to fight that "easy fight" again.
Guessing he didnt like what he got in that fight to go through it again.

when even Nicaraguan 112 pounders are whining about money, you know that boxing is OFFICIALLY past the point of no return.......

Yea how dare a professional want the most money out of the career they have chosen

[PunchyPotorff]

Man , someone has to tell these idiots the last thing fans want to hear over and over again is " I WANT/NEED TO GET PAID" It's like these guys are like free agents in between fights and they think they are as popular as baseball/basketball/nfl players looking to get signed by new teams. The truth is they are not. If I go tell 10 of my friends I am watching Chocolatito on HBO at least 9 of them will think its a documentary on Hershey in Spanish?

He is the #1 p4p fighter in the world. If there is more money to be had then it's just that he be getting it instead of the promoters or the network.

Yea how dare a professional want the most money out of the career they have chosen

fine. Then thats a conversation he should be having with his manager or promoter. Im getting tired of fighters whining to the media all the time about how "if it dont make dollars.....etc". We as fans do not need to be a part of that conversation.......

I've never had an issue with boxers getting paid as much as is reasonable for the boxing card. If all other boxers on the card have to get pathetic money because either/both of the main event fighters are getting ****** money, then it's a problem IMO. These fighters are working their butz off for years to get somewhere in the sport, support their families, have something left after the career. And last time I checked, very few of them are even able to do it full-time, let alone walk away with much of anything when they have to retire.

Traditionally the smaller weight class fighters do get paid less... which I agree is a travesty. I think some fans look at even 500K and say it's too much. Reality is, the fighter might end up with about 50-55% of that after everything gets paid out. Similar to your gross vs net paycheck, except a much lower percentage.

Moving up in weight to fight a undefeated champion arguably the #1. in the weight is whats relevant for Chocolatito ; it keeps him at the top of the P4P list he also makes boxing history becoming a 4x champion and puts in line to fight Innoue -- thats a million dollar deal and presents a greater threat to his 0 - Estrada is old news he was offered a rematch but decided to treat his 'Injury' hes not even in the picture @ 112 nobody knows who he is going to fight next.

I don't think you can argue he's #1 at 115...#2 sure...but hard to make a case for #1.
