Lopez acknowledged that boxing fans are pushing this fight against Panama.
"I know, personally, financially, I will not get the money we should. It's a fight that must be done because the public is impatient, "he added.

The interest of Lopez, who is unbeaten in the 26 fights he has done with 24 of these fast track "it's because Knight has been very talkative.
"That is realized, is part of the promoters. Knight keeps talking and talking. I will fight for him, not so much for me. Celestino dreams of being like me. He has never fought in a 'pay per view'. I do it because I have offended me and the offending Puerto Rico has offended because I am a representative of the flag of Puerto Rico.
