Another fight with a retired nurse on PPV. Want to bet it will be competitive and he will have another trilogy?
Just like his father, only difference is that he needs controversial decisions with the nurses, cabdrivers and kindergarten drop outs he's looking to go 100-0 fighting. His father needed it when he stepped up.
the only way i will ever buy a JCC jr PPV is if the cab drivers and bums he fights all take a number and take turns fighting him on the same night while all wearing their work clothes in a last man standing match type of scenario.
chavez, jr. does not deserve PPV....bob arum is squezzzing this guy out for as much money he can get....before he gets sparked out....its only a matter of time....and bob knows it too.
