  • You know you’re lazy when you take the $100k penalty rather than taking the extra 2 lbs. off.

    • Yep! Can you imagine?!

      “I’ll give you ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS if you lose 2 lbs”.

      “Nah, I’m good.”

      • Also, 182 is way above his old fighting weight. This dude was a middleweight at one time. I guess this comes as no surprise. We all knew his dedication hasn’t been there for quite some time. His financial situation must not be that bad if didn’t bother chasing that $100k .

        • He wasn’t making the weight cut at 160 either. But Jose Sulaiman was his godfather and protector who had rigged scales to make it looked like he made weight among other things. This guy was always lazy.

  • Now I want Silva to knock out the spoiled pothead. Will that happen? Of course not. But, I want it to happen.

    • Yeah this sucks. I want to see Chavez gets beaten to a pulp or KO’d but it won’t happen and part of me doesn’t want it to happen because UFC fanboys won’t STFU about it if it does happen. The same way they still pretend that uppercut McGregor landed vs Floyd was anything but an awkward pushing punch that wouldn’t have even fazed Amir Khan.

      Ugh, that would be hell.

    • Yup, what a joke! As I have mentioned in the past, a typical case of affluenza syndrome aka spoiled brat syndrome.

  • And in other news – 2+2 still equals 4, the sun will rise tomorrow and Chavez Jr. badly misses weight for a fight at a weight he requested.

  • My guess is they just clipped out parts of the Quote of him to say he wants a 1 second KO, What he REALLY said was he was gonna Knockout 1 second of exercise and training, then come take the fools who keep riding with him for their money like always. WHAT A JOKE!!!! I know Sr. wishes Canelo REALLY was his son.

  • Does not surprise me. Golden spoon fed overprivaleged prick! I hope somehow Silva knocks that brat out cold! Good riddance my goodness

  • Biggest laughing and JOKE in boxing history! His dad is most likely embarrassed lol

    • Yes, true, and his daddy will always bail him out and provide opportunities for him. Par for the course in the Chavez family.

  • Credit to Chavez Sr. for at least bothering to get in shape for this. He’s just 3 pounds away from what he was for the Taylor fight 30 years ago.

  • And here you see the difference between a true professional and clown. Silva at his age makes a weight 3 lbs lower than his fighting weight while Chavez wouldn’t be able to make 250 if that was the contract. Why promoters keep signing him, is beyond me.

  • what a loser, didnt make weight?I dont know about you guys but what kind of fighter doesnt make weight, Illtell you, a lazy fighter who doesnt give a f–ck thats who, its totally irresponcible, his trainer or manager should bench him, hes never going to change–LAZY

  • If Chavez, Chavez Jr and Omar all went back to full time boxing Id bet on Chavez Sr to have the best results. Might even capture a title first between them. He just has real core ability, heart and training ethics.

  • For those who remember Heavyweight Tony Tubbs, he was offered a $50,000 bonus if he came into the Tyson fight at 235 or below. He came in at a very flabby 238 1/4. Do these guys understand that it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to make this kind of money again when their careers are over? Get it while you can. Most of us here probably work a 9-5 and might not even make $50k in a year. Just maddening watching guys like Tubbs/Chavez Jr. blow opportunities like this. At least keep your family in mind and do it for them.

  • This will continue to happen until they withhold 100% of his purse. I hope to see another picture of him in a hospital bed with Sr. standing beside him looking disgusted but reciting a feeble excuse for Jr. No mas!

  • Unprofessional scrub. It’s gonna get worse for the Son.. The unraveling started 3 years ago. Just another spoiled little shttt.. Bum bye.. You learn.

  • Silva should’ve head kicked him at the scales for not making weight. What a punk

  • 17 pounds won’t matter. Chavez Sr. will still beat the older of Hector Comacho’s 4 sons.

  • Three things are certain in this lifetime. Taxes, Death, and Chavez not making weight.

  • What kind of weight class is 182? They are both heavyweights.

  • Bit of a bellend really. If you don’t have any talent but still give it a good go, that’s one thing, if however you have a bit of talent but you’re either too arrogant or too lazy to put the effort in, then you are a bit of a twat
