Dan Rafael chat wrap 5/23:

- Mayweather vs. winner of Cotto-Martinez...or Canelo vs Cotto? Unlikely. Martinez is still under contract to HBO for one more fight. He wasn't sure on Cotto's exact contract, but even if he was a free agent Cotto says he is loyal to Top Rank.
- Rumors of Thurman vs Maidana are absolutely not true.
- Postol is Garcia's mandatory. Very likely Garcia gets an exception and fights someone else, then moves up to 147...which leaves Postol to eventually be the mandatory for the vacant WBC belt.
- If GGG fights Fletcher, HBO will not pick up the fight.
- Rios back in action Aug 2. No definite opponents yet. Rios-Alvarado 3 most likely would be beginning of 2015.
- Abregu's name has been brought up as an opponent for Rios. HBO approved. Rios' manager said no.
- Drug testing for the JMM-Alvarado fight was limited to the normal California commission testing, not adequate in his opinion.
- GGG said in person he would fight Ward...but speculation is that Ward's contract situation makes dealing with him very difficult and the money for that matchup isn't enough for both fighters right now.
- Still talks of trying to make JCC-GGG for fall 2014.
- Official figures for Mayweather-Maidana not announced yet. Hearing it could be slightly over 900k.
- Strong possibility ODH and Schaefer part ways after the Canelo-Lara fight.
- He expects that the WBA will grant the exception and GGG will fight Geale on July 26.

Once Danny Garcia vacates, we will see Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol for the WBC 140 title and Adrien Broner vs Johan Perez for the WBA 140 Title brehs

Boxcino tonight..should be good.

rios and alverado are both shot imo, i don't see why either one of them should wait til 2015 for the 3rd fight. nov or december the fight should take place, rios management turning down abregu just shows us how much they think he has left in him.

jcc-ggg negotiation is just frustrating right now. i would like to see the fight but, what's the rush. i think later on down the line next year it could be a bigger fight. i don't know why bika was never taken into consideration for chavez when he's bika mandy. shyt even froch is a possibility for september. jcc got other good options for whoever his next fight is, tr need to just move on with this ggg shyt.

Are we forgetting what Jr's last ppv outing looked like?

How much has his stock gone down since then?

Floyd ain't worried bout nothing

he did 500k against martinez, sold out the thomas & mack center while canelo was fighting josesito down the street on showtime goldenboy were giving away tickets to that fight believe me chavez jr fights on the same day as floyd with a stack card i'll be surprise if mayweather cracks 600k even if he fights maidana again which us real boxing fans are over with and dont wanna see again

And since then Canelo has sold a ton of ppv and Chavez Jr is having empty arena matches against Vera.

Only way I honestly see taking a big bite out of a Floyd ppv if it's on free hbo.

I think Arum would be fine with putting on an HBO card just to fukk with Floyd's PPV numbers though.
And if it takes place at the Forum I doubt there would be many empty seats.

HBO is constantly giving Golovkin the with his fights lately.

^ and that's good. when ggg fights someone significant then green light go!

if you call canelo doing 350k in his one and only ppv a "ton" then ok

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

The only reason JCC Jr Vera 2 had empty seats was because people were concerned Chavez was goin have struggle Cardio N look like Rob Kardashian on fight night again

HBO threw shade on jccjr that whole night only to find out days later he was Top 3 most watched for the year

With fans seeing Chavez serious N in shape he sells out whatever arena they put him in

 

[California Burrito]

chavez jr in LA on mexican independence

 

[krackdagawd]

if you call canelo doing 350k in his one and only ppv a "ton" then ok

We comparing Canelo coming off a loss fighting Angulo to Chavez fighting Martinez?

The fact that if Chavez Jr were to fight Angulo that shyt wouldn't even be on ppv is all that needs to be said.

Why not include the Floyd fight friend? You think that 2+ Million was all Money May?

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Rios comeback might be against the Argentine that fought One time Diego Chaves

i hope rios been saving his money..
