Bob Arum willing to make Chavez jr vs Canelo IMMEDIATELY

Make it happen bob!


Bob Arum 'ready to do that fight'


Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez -- natural future opponents and major stars in Mexico -- both won fights this month on highly rated HBO shows.

There is talk, especially in Mexico, about an eventual match between the two, though it is viewed as unlikely for the time being because each can make big money against a slew of other opponents while their rivalry brews and they become more known in the United States.

But Top Rank's Bob Arum, Chavez's promoter, insisted he would make the fight right now if Golden Boy was interested in a co-promotion.

"We'd scrap any plans for Chavez to fight Canelo immediately," Arum told ESPN.com. "(Trainer) Freddie (Roach) wants that fight, the kid wants that fight, we're ready. We just need a willingness on Canelo's part to do it. We're ready to do that fight. But I don't think they want the fight."

Chavez, 25, outpointed Sebastian Zbik on June 4 to claim a middleweight belt, and Alvarez stopped Ryan Rhodes in the 12th round June 18 in his first junior middleweight title defense.

Arum said if the match happened, Chavez (43-0-1, 30 KOs) would not be able to go down to 154 pounds, where Alvarez holds his title.

"Maybe at 158," Arum said. "And then Canelo could keep his belt if he lost."

Arum spent the past couple of years keeping his featherweight stars, Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa, apart while trying to build a pay-per-view fight between them. But Lopez got knocked out in April and killed any chance of the fight for now.

So how is matching Chavez and Alvarez (37-0-1, 27 KOs) now any different when it could become a massive blockbuster down the road, as he had hoped for Lopez and Gamboa?

"Neither guy looks to me to be a great fighter and either guy could lose on the way there," Arum said of Chavez and Alvarez. "Gamboa and Lopez were elite, great fighters. If (a loss) happened there, it could certainly happen with Canelo and Chavez, who are not elite fighters."

Elite or not, Alvarez, just 20, is Mexico's most popular fighter. According to the WBC, Alvarez's bout against Rhodes in Guadalajara drew a viewing audience of approximately 36 million people to Mexican network Televisa.

Few believe Chavez-Alvarez is going to happen, though, at least this year. Golden Boy, Alvarez's promoter, is planning a fight for him Sept. 17 as part of a split-site HBO PPV card along with Floyd Mayweather's return to the ring to challenge welterweight titlist Victor Ortiz.

Arum also is planning Chavez's next move. He had hoped to have him defend his title Sept. 24 on HBO -- before Roach goes to the Philippines to train Manny Pacquiao for his Nov. 12 bout with Juan Manuel Marquez.

That date was not available, so Arum said HBO has committed to putting him on Nov. 19.

But Arum also said Chavez may first take a September fight in Mexico. He said Fernando Beltran, Arum's longtime partner promoting Chavez, is looking for a state or city government in Mexico to subsidize the fight "because there'd be no television outlet (that pays significant money) in the U.S. except on our (low budget) Fox Deportes series 'Top Rank Live.' "

Although the sanctioning body belts often mean little to boxing fans, they still have a lot of meaning to most fighters, especially Chavez. In a ceremony in Mexico City this week, he was presented with his new belt.

"I am very proud to be the first Mexican to win a WBC world middleweight title," Chavez said. "I remember going with my dad to this very same ceremony when he won his title and I was very proud of him. Today is my turn."

Chavez, of course, is the son of Hall of Famer and all-time Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., who won multiple world titles in three weight classes.

Ghost is going to be a beast at 140 I'm positive he's going to destroy Maidana.

Alexander vs Lucas is a toss up.
I don't think they'll be any destruction. I think he can win on skill level but Maidana is amazingly stubborn in the ring and he's gonna be putting some serious pressure on Guerrero and he'll be the biggest man to ever do it to him. I see this being a rough fight with Guerrero winning early and then Maidana being Maidana, interesting to see if Guerrero can hold up.

GHOST BETTER PROTECT THAT CHIN I SEEN GHOST ON THE CANVAST LOTZ OF TIME I HOPE HE WINS
I've seen Guerrero on the canvas once off a jab by Casamayor late in the fight that didn't seem to hurt him much. No way I could call him chinny.

.. and Alvarez stops Chavez Jr. Arum knows what he has in Chavez Jr and he knows he won't make many title defenses at MW. Alvarez and Jr are gonna make a ton a money in this fight and it won't drop Jr's stock where it matters, in Mexico, losing to Alvarez who's insanely popular himself.

Alvarez will knock Chavez Jr out in the later rounds. Jr has no defense and it show in his last fight, because if dude that Jr was fighting had in punching power we wouldn't even be talking about this fight. Alvarez has some good power and he works the body. It would be a long painful night for Jr if they do fight.

Right, I see what Arum is thinking. The WBC is allowing for Chavez to have a voluntary fight, then he must defend his title against Sergio Martinez. No brainer, make the Canelo fight before he gets whooped by Sergio.

That's of course if the WBC actually enforces their own rules, which is always a surprise when they do.

Pretty entertaining Friday night fights.

And just a heads up the undercard fights for HBO s event tomorrow will be steamed online for free Omar Henrey, k9 vs powell etc. Should be entertaining from top to bottom
Streamed where?

.. and yeah the fights are pretty good tonight. I thought Herrera was doing well in the fight and most of the rounds were close, even though I thought 98-92 was a ridiculous score I got no problem with the draw or 96-94 Herrera.. not sure where the madness and acting like it was a robbery came from.

Thanks 2-0, I'd prop you if I could.

2-0, I know you go on other websites and shit. Do you know the specifics of the deal Epix has to show boxing? It seems sort of random but I wouldn't mind getting the channel if they're going to continue bringing live boxing from overseas. They're showing Sturm Vs. Macklin live tomorrow which is pretty dope..

EDIT:

K9 Vs. Powell being off TV while garbage ass Stiverne & Austin get a slot on HBO is a shame. Powell's actually been showcased on HBO before and with HBO showing 154 some love (with Alvarez, Martirosyan, Williams, Lara, Kirkland, Angulo etc.) it's a shame they won't televise a legit title fight in the division with 2 guys that could and should be a future opponent for one of their showcases.

from what I understand they really want to get into boxing more consistently. I think with the competition (HBO & Showtime) their strategy (at least for now) is to pick up foreign fights and build from there. I know they were working on a deal with Frank Warren and some other British promoters as well, I wouldn't be surprised if they start airing those Prizefighter Tournaments that are kinda cool.


I noticed they have that free 14 day trial again on their website and if you sign up you can stream the fight online just like they did with klitschko-solis:

I don't know if the people who signed up previously can do it again but it appears you can just use a different email.
