  • the next level of ridiculous, who in the hell would pay money for this joke

  • I wonder if anything is real if that makes any sense. I generally follow any “sport” nowadays.

  • I expect all 3 members of The Chavez Family to win their fights. Omar will win his insignificant rubber match, Sr will beat up on a very out-of-shape Hector Jr, and, Julio Jr will knock out Silva.

    Hector Jr is no Hector Sr, and Hector Jr’s little brother (MC / Christian) is no Hector Jr.

  • I will laugh my ass off if Silva beats Pot Head Junior. I seriously doubt it. Doubt, as in no way this is happening. Not in this universe.

  • I actually enjoyed seeing Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. getting back in the ring, he still gets busy. Its inspiring and gives hope for older men thinking its too late to get in shape. He’s not too grown to get sweaty, mix it up and get punched in the face. A True mans man!!!

    • I agree with you, the 3 matches that he fought with Arce were very exciting and entertaining. they really go at it without pulling any punches.

  • Unlike his brother Julio Jr, Omar never quit while his brother has quit on a few occasions. Glad to see Omar going for the rubber match. Also, don’t be surprised if Julio jr pulls another no mas.

  • PPV? It’s all about the money even when it’s for predictable and light-duty entertainment. Sorry, won’t buy it. Maybe watch the freebie uploads after the fights and giggle at the same time.
