Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr: We Know it's Canelo's Time, We Only Want 30-35%

[HURTFEELINGS]

I cant believe this Coward Chavez Sr, is opening his mouth! He's a coward because he didnt rematch Whitaker. We all know "Sweet Pea" won that fight..........LOL Kitty Kov fans...(some of you will get it, and have a little laugh)

This fight would make a ton of money. The 2 biggest names in Mexican boxing on Cinco de Mayo weekend is a no brainer, big fight.

Don't think it's the best fight Canelo could make, but I don't see it as a 'gimme' either because of the size, height and reach he'd give up.

If this comes off at a 165 catchweight, then Canelo isn't going back down to Jr Middleweight in my opinion.
Which would be a good thing.

I would say Jr. is worth that. He brings a fan base and this PPV would do just as ally if not better than BBB side/Canelo as they can market the Mexican rivalry on cinco de drinks. If they offer $5 million and 25% then Jr. would be an idiot not to accept. No issues holding out for as much as possible but it seems both sides want the fight.

This is the same issue that held up the GGG fight, Team Canelo not wanting to offer percentages.

Not sure how much the fight will generate, but lets say 100m, then a 70/30 split would be 30m for JCC Jr, 70m for Canelo.

100m is the amount a Canelo/GGG fight was estimated to generate, and Canelo/JCC is likely a bigger fight monetarily (although not in boxing terms) because of the Mexican face-off angle and JCC Jr's name.

Just think about it for a second, if Canelo fought a no-name, the total revenue wouldn't likely exceed 70m. Part of the equation that would make the fight such a big one monetarily is the JCC name and his Mexican nationality, which allows for it to be marketed as a Mexican showdown.

If Team Canelo can't see this and offer 30%, and see this a fair split (their guy getting a whopping 70% of a huge gate), then something's wrong with GBP.

Same with the GGG fight where the 100m figure was estimated. In that case GGG was reputedly asking for 40%, instead GBP tried a 15m flat fee (15%) plus an unspecified extra.

If GBP would loosen up a bit we would start to see these fights getting made.

ps. maybe add a penalty of 10% for every pound JCC OR Canelo comes in overweight, then watch JCC meet the weight no problem !

I like that weight penalty for pound, but let's be honest I don't think Canelo vs GGG make 100 mill.

Nah, your son doesn't deserve that. Foh. Canelo don't even need Julio. Nobody cares about Chavez.

Just keep this mexican mess fight between Canelo and Chavez Jr out of America and spare the american people the mess of an all mexican fight with no English spoken. Plus the crime rate in America goes up with this type of fight. Canelo should also be stripped of his meaningless 154lb belt also for this farce fight. Chavez jr is a bum nothing more., keep the fight in mexico and build thaT WALL.

So you seem to be the kind of guy who loves to hit the nerves of the people, first of all this is a boxing site, boxing doesn't have a space for racism because boxing has been always multi-racial and mult-cultural.

If you feel hate to "specific people" the only thing I can tell you is God bless you son.
