Comments Thread For: Arum Reacts To Chavez Jr.'s Manager, Details Situation

Arum has boxing writers on his payroll? Remember hearing that before.

Steve "the Shill" Kim and Thomas "the Hypocrite" Hauser I am looking at you~

It feels like Bob Arum may soon file something for Billy Keane. All the fights Arum and Main Event are involved with as of late are legal ones LOL

And Oscar and Richard also have their lawyers lined up against each other.

The fighters will make nothing, but there will be lots of lawyers making coin soon

Arum responded with the quickness to that though, how long was that Keane article up 2 hours tops?

Chavez' weed suspension is probably the root of the problem.

This is what Mikey Garcia's contract said in regards to suspensions. Presumably Chavez' contract said the same thing.


It says that the total time of any suspension would automatically be added to the contract. The commission suspension was 9 months so 9 months was added to the contract's end date. The problem is that since modern boxers don't fight all that often, this wasn't really much of a suspension. Chavez would have probably fought around the same date with or without the suspension. This would explain why there's all this extra time on the contract without Bob having any secured fights for him. The number of fights Bob had to provide in the contract would have been fulfilled after the Golovkin fight, but the time Chavez had to be with Top Rank wouldn't have ended. Chavez would have had to sit it out if he didn't allow Bob to give him another fight after Golovkin. A two fight deal was just Bob trying to keep Chavez from being inactive while he was still under contract. A 3 fight deal (like the first offer) on the other hand, would have only been a 1 fight extension since the other 2 fights would have taken place while Chavez was still under contract.

I think it's out of character, for Chavez to PUNK OUT,
but the Manager, might rightfully see GGG, as a threat
to His Gravy Train....

Arum knows a lot about writing Contracts, and might be
in a position to tie Jr. Up for a Long Time, in Court; or the
Chavez Folks, might buy him out of the Contract..

Could be, Arum, hopes that Jr. will come out of the Kush Fog, and
Read His Response, in case, Chavez's Handlers, are keeping the details
from Him...

You were THINKING???
That's a FIRST....U had Me Fooled!!!

[Detroit29]

But i remember arum saying and im paraphrasing here...why give chavez major money and he not stay with them? Its not worth it. End of paraphrase. Chavez made 2.5 million against Brain Vera...Brain Vera...and arum wants to pay him 500k less to fight GGG in a pay per view bout? But if Chavez signs the extension then top rank will negotiate the fight. My question id why not.just give Chavez the 6.6 million WITHOUT an extension? If.its true that chavezs contract is up next year, there is no reason why top rank cant do this fight.
