Comments Thread For: Canelo Applies The Pressure on Chavez Jr. To Accept or Walk Off

[Eastcoast]

They should tell Canelo to go fight a tougher opponent in BJS for a lot less money.

I think Chavez jr is going to said no! GGG offer Chavez 7 millions and walked away so he may be do the same here

Jfc man. What is boxing becoming in this post-Floyd/Manny era?

For all the **** some cats give or gave to Floyd &/or Manny about their alleged cherry picking Canelo & Oscar have taken things to a new low with fighting bs ass "contenders" & then trying to bargain bin mfers or tell them to go f#ck themselves for some other bs guy. Well I guess in this case Canelo & Oscar are teasing Chavez with fighting a real or realer opponent, BJS (despite his recent performance) & Cotto (whos pinky finger has done more than Chavez Jr in boxing), if Chavez doesn't accept a deal which arguably doesn't reflect the value he has in this bout in the asses in seats, PPV buys department.

LOL right.

Anything with GBP & Canelo is on some other plain of reality since all this WBC/GGG stuff starting coming into play. Its like they are competing in some other type of boxing or under some other ranking system then everyone else is seeing or understanding of who a top talent should be fighting. James Kirkland, Amir Khan, Liam Smith & now potentially Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Wtf man this **** is nuts. Its like Canelo's career is on cruise control for the last 2yrs or whatever.

I think Jr. will sign soon. He is just holding out to get the best possible deal but no way he walks away from this one. He will lose badly but will make 10 times what he is worth.
The BJS mano was to give Canelo leverage against BBB side. When they finally come to the table they can take the offer given or Canelo will fight BJS in September for his strap.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (48-1-1, 34KOs) and his handlers have applied the pressure on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (49-2-1, 32KOs) to accept a deal for an all-Mexican showdown on May 6th.

Basically Canelo is saying 'sorry Chavez I don't want to fight you, I have a Welter weight guy ready to fight me for less money' Canelo will continue doing it till he retires, occasionally fighting an old washed up champion and robbing him in the fight.

It's not Canelo. It's his cheap promoter Oscar with his low ball flat rate offer that GGG refused. That lousy offer will likely be refuse by Chavez and rightfully so considering Canelo will probably make about 3 or 4 times that much. As with GGG something like a 60/40 or 65/35 split in Canelo's favor would be fair and get the fight done. GGG and Chavez are the only huge money fights for Canelo. Cotto will never fight Canelo again.

There goes Oscar with his same flat fee BS that didn't work on GGG and I'll bet won't work on Chavez either. Why would Chavez take 6 million flat fee bucks and watch Canelo make perhaps 5 times that much? I am a big Canelo fan and will be rooting for him if this fight does happen. Oscar is a serious cheapskate when it comes to offering fighters what they are worth.

Golden Boy have no intention of making this fight just like they didn't want the GGG fight. They know if Canelo ' s power doesn't work then he is in a whole lot of trouble. They probably have a 135lbs fighter waiting to fight Canelo somewhere and they will claim Chavez refused the fight.

I called this in a post the other day, after the WBO made Canelo the mandatory to Saunders. The WBO did that to give GBP bargaining power, the moment they had an option other than Chavez Jr or GGG, GBP dropped a take it or leave it. There is no real way to tell how fair this offer is with out knowing what percentage of PPV Jr gets. It's worth noting that PPV upside is not the Same as PPV split. PPV upside means there is no guarantee in the amount of money from PPV Chavez would get, nor if he would get any at all, while PPV split guarantees a percentage of PPV revenue after the required parties have taken their portion. So is it 6 mil with PPV upside, or 6 mil with PPV split?

Making someone mandatory doesn't give someone bargaining power. The split is 75-25 in favour of the champion.

Remember how they wanted him to debut back on HBO vs Joshua Clottey? In reality it sucks, I think they're making him soft. When Tito moved up to fight Bernard, he was coming off monster wins over Reid, Vargas, and Joppy. Canelo's immediate resume leading to Golovkin is laughable.

A win over Charlo would build so much excitement for the GGG fight. Chavez will be a big fight, but it's almost not even a real fight, more circus attraction.
