Why do people act that Chavez Jr. never pulled out of the PPV fight with Golovkin in 2014?

    In your previous post you just claimed that was all you were going to say. Quit lying and repeating yourself. Even for a creepy weirdo the likes of yourself it does not wear well.

    People hate GGG because he represents something in the sport they are not programmed to deal with so they side with basically any name that crosses his path. The midnight prowler poster used to claim GGG ducked and would have gotten stopped by Sakio Bika.

    Jr. wanted out of his contract with Top Rank. Bob´s offer would also have extended his contract.

    Well.

    1. He can't "pull out" if it isn't official, he just declined.
    2. Fear will not make a man walk away from $7 million, that's not fear. I don't care who you are. I'd get beat up by Golovkin if it meant I make $7 million.

    As I recall, Chavez's issue was with being tied down to Arum's
    organization for an additional extended timeframe
    and had nothing to do with pulling out due to fear of
    fighting Golovkin.

    Why cause Oscar already talking about rematch so they can duck GGG?
    For what it's worth I hope Canelo does smoke him as it would make a great story and would make The GGG fight Almost impossible to avoid at that stage.

    It was a two fight contract, one of them in mid 2014. The contract would have ended in 2015 anyway. It just doesn't make sense, especially when looking at his career.

    I am not saying that he is scared or whatever. I am just explaining what actually happened. Now he's some 175 pounds fighter and suddenly calls out GGG.

    There is some emotion that makes fighters decline massive purses. Whatever it is, it's there because big money ducks happen in boxing a lot.

    I obviously could be wrong but I looked into this before and Im pretty sure arums second offer was a 'no strings attached' one fight offer. First offer had an extension, which was why it was such a big offer, second offer was for less money because there was no extension with top rank involved.
