He has no prayer at LHW. If they do that to Chavez, it says to me that they just wanted Chavez to throw him to the wolves for popularity-sake of the wolves; meaning to boost the popularity of their LHW stable at Haymon/GBP/Showtime. It's a good strategy, honestly...as long as Chavez knows what he's getting into and doesn't go from being used by TR to being used by GBP et al. Oh, well. If Chavez is down with that for the paycheck, more power to Chavez.

It's also smart of GBP/Haymon/Showtime to scuttle the GGG/Chavez fight, which would have gotten Golovkin off the ground in the PPV scene. Golovkin is really one of HBO's best money futures at this point, so killing that PPV moneymaker in its infancy makes sense. Another casualty for fans in the boxing Cold War.

So HBO almost lost Cotto/Martinez to Showtime, did lose Stevenson/Kovalev to Showtime, and now lost Chavez/Golovkin to Showtime. Looks like Showtime's strategy is clear: scuttle any big HBO matchup they can. Sounds like HBO better up their game...
