Ramon Alvarez is open to the idea of a rematch with Omar Chavez - but only if the fight will take place in a featured position on the anticipated May 6th event, which is going to feature the main event battle between their brothers - Ramon's younger bother Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Omar's older brother Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Alvarez (24-5-2, 16 KOs) won a unanimous decision over Chavez in September of 2014. Since then, Chavez (35-3-1, 23 KOs) has won three fights in a row. Alvarez picked up a win last December after suffering a decision loss to former world champion Antonio Margarito in August.

Zanfer Promotions, who work with both boxers, were looking to stage the rematch on March 11th as part of their upcoming fight schedule.

Ramon has little interest in staging that rematch, but he would have interest in fighting Chavez again as part of the HBO Pay-Per-View event in May.

"The only way that I would rematch Omar is in that role... if not, I do not see the sense of that. Obviously if it was in that role [on the pay-per-view] it would be good for my career, and it would also suit him. We are negotiating that [idea] and I was told that a purse has already been offered and we are just waiting for their response," Alvarez told ESPN Deportes.

"I spoke with my brother (Canelo), we have been talking almost every day that I see him. We were in communication, and he told me yesterday that they were interested in having it as an undercard fight and he is talking to Zanfer. They are waiting for an answer and if the rematch is not done, then I prefer to see other things for my career."

"I think that it suits him like it does me. Blood against blood, a fight for pride, a fight between brothers, I feel that there has never been an event in history where two strong surnames collided on the same night. Omar would enter that fight with a lot of pride, a lot of hunger, the hunger that one needs to prepare very well - because obviously he's going to want the rematch badly, because I made him look bad, like a beginner."

So far, Golden Boy Promotions has not touched on the subject of the undercard beyond that fact there would be Mexicans and the return of Lucas Matthysse.
