    :think I am more interested about the network.
    HBO would definitely want Jr. Showtime would cough up money for such a player.
    And then we have the NBC and Spike deals.

    Ah the politics of boxing.

    I think his name is too big to not fight on HBO or showtime, and last I heard, HBO doesn't work with haymon.

    No chance this fight comes off. Not sure what the strategy in play is with this. They might just be testing the waters to see if Arum will actually bring a lawsuit. But no chance it comes off. Fonfara would beat Chavez pretty easily. It's not a big money fight, he takes a loss to a relatively unknown fighter, and he ruins his chances at a big money fight with Froch etc this year. It makes absolutely no sense. And Chavez's team isn't stupid. This fight will not happen.
