GGG's cold blooded approach in the ring and how he doesn't waste his gas tank + JCC, Jr.'s chin might possibly help create one of the best fights I will ever see. But we'll see. First and foremost, we just need to get this fight signed.

RIP to GGG's father, though.

Even if it is not vs GGG, I want to see Chavez's chin tested. It has looked good, but I am not sure we know how good it is because I dont think he has fought a guy who could remotely test it.
How would it hold up vs LH's as the people in that division and Chavez weigh the same walking around.
Chavez has just been cutting maximum weight to pick on smaller guys to boost his record.

Martinez who has legit ko power throwing errything N the kitchen sink at Chavez Jr > Curtis the 5'6 middleweight fighting off the back foot scary

Bumping now that Dan Rafael is confirming he is hearing serious chances for this fight to happen on HBO PPV.

I'm all for this bout since their ain't too many people here bout that GolovokinGang life, but this shyt does not need to be ppv. Neither have the following for it. Chavez ain't even pack the house for the Vera rematch (he still puts butts in seats) and GGG is barely on the cusp of even being a household name although he's been eating off those HBO appearances.

This shyt is regular ass HBO for fukk sakes.

GGG by Late Stoppage though. I'm a fan of both, but I gotta side with the boxer who doesn't need rematches for nikkas that he's supposed to beat the first time.

I think it is a questionable PPV for sure...but could be legitimate if they stack the card with other great fights.
GGG's fans are growing every fight, but he definitely isn't a major draw yet. JCC has a lot of fans, but it is definitely a risk to try to see if they'll buy a PPV.

I was going to say that HBO might be trying to help finance the purses for GGG-JCC...but even in a head to head fight, I don't think either commands a huge paycheck.
Probably just trying to build these guys up and capitalize off a small buy PPV, which can still make money.
