Keep in mind in 1991, 10 million was about 17 million in CPI inflation adjusted.
The story is that Chavez ducked Norris in 1991. I'm sure the WBC, King, and the others liked this idea for a similar Pac vs Margarito bout. Of course Norris being a WAY more superior fighter than Margarito... So Abel says he and Norris agreed to 149-150 for $10 million catch but that Chavez's people thought Norris was too big.
Ok so fast forward today, how much bigger was Chavez compared to Alvarez from a Mexican fanbase? If Abel agreed to $10 million back then without any hype of a trilogy or PPV, then why hasn't K2 and Abel made the concessions with GBP?
