Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr: Canelo, Golden Boy are Offering Crumbs To My Son!

Alvarez is now officially a sideshow embarrassment.
Offering Kirkland and Chavez Jr. as PPV attractions is a triumph of greed, not sport.

Kirkland vs. CanYellow wasn't on PPV you dope.

Who has GGG lowballed? They were even willing to fight the champ from Britain for free years ago. They even signed to fight Pirog, the worst risk-reward ratio fight in boxing at the time. All these other guys, when it came to fighting GGG when he had no name, said "the money isn't worth the risk right now." But GGG signed to fight Pirog, who some say was just as risky as GGG, for even less money.

So you are making stuff up. Yes, fighters with promotional issues, or who fear losing, will lowball difficult opponents, and duck. Canelo has done that. But fighters like GGG who are truly the best and don't worry about losing? They are willing to make reasonable offers to get these guys in the ring. More than reasonable. And he has made those offers. People just duck him. Go read Quillin's twitter rant about "why should I face the most dangerous guy GGG when Floyd is making 50 million" fighting nobodies?

That is the type of attitude that is going on with these duckers and if you didn't know that, you need to go look into it and stop blaming GGG for it out of ignorance. He is not like those guys. He has demonstrated time and time again a willingness to make deals to fight any of these guys. Even offering to fight for free to get that exposure. Who else has offered to fight for free in a world title fight? Just GGG in recent memory. So again, research this stuff before you say GGG lowballs people. He definitely doesn't. There are some fans who thought Jacobs deserved 40% just because... magic! They don't realize how boxing works. BHop just got 800k to Joe Smith Jr's 140k. That's like an 80/20 split to fight someone in BHop who only sold 6k tickets last night. But BHop got 80%... meanwhile GGG is selling out 20,000 ticket venues, Jacobs can't even sell out half his hometown venue Barclays, but Jacobs deserves 40% when Smith Jr., who does sell out his local venues, gets 20%?

Like I said, people need to really learn how these things work before just saying stuff. GGG's team are very fair negotiators. They negotiated Klitschko-Fury and now Klitschko-Joshua with no problems too. If someone actually wants to fight GGG or Klitschko, they will get a fair deal. It's just no one wanted to fight GGG until now. What, you think suddenly more guys are calling out GGG because all of a sudden, GGG started to negotiate fairly only just now? Nah man you know better. Their offers haven't changed, it's just that GGG is turning 35 now. That's what's really changed. So it all comes down to whether these guys think they can survive a fight with GGG. They were too scared before, but now that he's 35, they think they have a shot. That's all it is. Nothing to do with lowballing or anything like that. The offers were always more than fair. They just didn't want anything to do with GGG until now.

Like Froch said, GGG hits like a mule. "Swerve him like the plague."

Did you type up this fluff report before or after you had sex with your GGG blow-up doll?

Chavez is 0-3 with 3KO loses to Oscar, don't forget the way he co-signed Fernando Vargas came into the ring with him and that was the fighter who was going to avenge chavez. He don't want his son to make it 0-4. Make no mistake he is still bitter towards Oscar LMAO

LMAO, I agree 100%.

How much does Chavez Sr. believe that his son is worth money split wise?

Chavez Jr. Doesn't do pay per view cards, hell his last fight wasn't on a major network.
Seems like less and less fans come to his fights.

Not to mention I hope this ridiculous fight doesn't get made. Chavez Jr isn't a Middleweight and again this would yet another Canelo catch weight fights which us fans are tired of.

Chavez Jr vs Martinez did better numbers than what canelos last 2 ppvs did and he did those numbers on a night that Canelo was fighting on free cable. Either way, this fight is a sideshow event and a further delay to avoid ggg.

So basically what Sr is saying is the chances of this fight happening are slim to none. 5 million is more than I would offer Chavez Jr., what has he done lately? Beat a bum and get KO'd by Fonfara. GTFOH

[NYC8224]

No idea why fighters refuse to fight Canelo, he isnt unbeatable. Take the 5-6 mil and beat him, why is it always a ****ing problem?

[Drew Bundini Br]

Canelo is flat out PETRIFIED of CHARLO,ANDRADE and LILG.

[NYC8224]

Canelo is flat out PETRIFIED of CHARLO,ANDRADE and LILG.

He is doing everything he can to avoid the top MWs, its embarassing

[JASON SHAW]

canelo is not a hype job but chavez jr was over hyped. He was living off his father's name and was only impressive when he had a size advantage and/or was fighting a relatively stationary target.

canelo is the definition of a hype jobs!!! Got schooled by floyd, lost to lara in a close fight and barely beat trout........ Beating a old cotto doesnt make you a legend....

[Sadiqkingofko]

I thing Chaves should get around 8 mill, I think 5 it too little cause his name will bring in some PPV
