WBC flyweight champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (43-0, 37 KOs) is more than ready to face former beltholder Brian Viloria on October 17th, as part of the Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux HBO pay-per-view undercard from New York's Madison Square Garden.
Viloria has stetted that he's been chasing Gonzalez for two years and claims the dangerous puncher is running from the fight.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum had previously mentioned Gonzalez for a fight with Viloria in Mexico. Gonzalez passed on the opportunity because he had little interest in fighting in Mexico and more importantly HBO was not interested in televising that card.
To face Viloria in the United States, as part of a major pay-per-view on HBO, Gonzalez is all ears on an offer.
"In America I'd fight Viloria. I know he wants to fight me. Actually I'd like to fight on the undercard of Golovkin, but that's not been confirmed. Supposedly my opponent is between Giovanni Segura and Brian Viloria, because there is the possibility that fight in November against Naoya Inoue for the fourth title. In boxing things change," Gonzalez said at a press conference organized by his promoter Nica Boxing.
"I want to fight with Viloria, but the issue is getting paid well, because I will not fight just to fight. I'm not running from anyone, I am ready to face anyone, but all I want is a good purse. The people of HBO were not interested in seeing me fight in Mexico, so that's why the fight with Viloria was not presented in that country."
"We are in negotiations this week so I will update you. It is a fact that I will fight again in October in the US. I want to fight with Viloria. Segura would be a good fight but would pay me less."

Fortunately, the pugilist has overcome every disadvantage, and never has it affected his performance in the ring.

Many are excited about a rematch against Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada, however, it was already announced that you are making a defense on November 22. Why did you decide to wait?
"I did not make that decision. It was Teiken Promotions, the promoter that is driving my career. And clearly I'm telling you, I have done a lot more than Estrada. So much has been talked about with respect to this fight, but if they do not pay me a million dollars - I will not fight. "
