Teo Lopez manager responds to 1.2 mill

Given the circumstances that is A ridiculous assessment. Bob is shafting him here. Why should lopez just take that? Would you? Taking the fight gives him everything he said he wants, and a huge chunk of money. The upsides far, far outweigh any perceived downsides. That is the reality. Weigh up the pros and cons of accepting the offer and making the fight. No-one could objectively say that the cons outweigh the pros, no matter how much spin is put on it. Refusing this fight? The phrase is "to cut off your nose to spite your face". If this is the sticking point which stops the fight from happening, it is a duck, pure and simple. I'm hoping this is just a strategy by Lopez, he gets a bit more money put on the table, and he makes the fight.

This situation reminds me of Walters and Rigo before. Lots of trash talks in the media. But when the fight was offered, Walters specifically, used money AGAIN.

I normally don't mind your posts. You are usually pretty solid. But with this topic you are showing how your biases make you a bit of a cunt at times. I don't blame Teo for negotiating, and negotiating hard. I wish him luck. But if he walks away from this fight, it is a duck. Given the circumstances that is A ridiculous assessment. Bob is shafting him here. Why should lopez just take that? Would you?

If they got 5 mill to split it should be 3 and 2 with Loma getting the bigger slice. I want to see this fight. Being on ESPN rather than PPV would be even better

In the minds of the very worst Loma slurpers if he doesn’t fight someone he was going to beat them anyway so they count it as a win. I don’t get why this is such a big deal. Give Lopez 33-35% , make the fight. Now if Lopez turns that down, then he should be vilified. It dawned on me the other day, these clowns don’t want the loma-lopez fight. This potential outcome(the fight not being made) in the best case scenario for them. Loma doesn’t have to fight lopez and they spin the narrative that it was lopez who ducked the fight and was scared. Loma can then go on to fight another b level opponent who’s less risky than a lopez.

Come on ESPN Disney! They worth multi billions! Can’t drop a few mill! Give Loma 1.5 mill Give Lopez 1.3 mill Winner by decision gets 2.3 Winner by Stoppage gets 3.1 Lopez would sign in a heartbeat

He made everyone believe he really wants this fight. Anyone can call out anybody now. Just ask for $2 million when the offer is made.

What exactly are they waiting for? No one wants to budge. Move on. You're wasting people's time.

I’m sure they’d prolly settle for 2 million and maybe Loma should take a small cut instead of 3 million maybe like 2.5 million or so. I’m sure if the pandemic wasn’t going on Loma be getting closer to 5 million and Lopez closer to 3 million but with out a live gate and all the sponsors bs won’t be as much now! This is true about every BIG fight as long as this Kung Flu has everyone scared out of their minds , every fighter wanting to fight now will have to take less $.

So I didn’t post he drew more, right? Yes it does imo. It shows that loma is not such a huge draw over Lopez that a 75-25 (approximately) Split is not really fair, which has been my point all along. I also posted Loma should get the bulk of the money. I clearly articulated the argument for Lopez making a little more such that the split was closer to 65/35. How does wanting a fairer split for Lopez where loma gets 65% equate to not wanting to see a white man be successful? I also never said the amount Loma is getting isn’t fair or should be less. I have never once been worried about what Loma’s non boxing fans such as yourself think of me. Lmao. You said he drew more because you thought it was goimg to be in nyc lmfao! That was your original argument! Since you've learned its actually supposed to be in Vegas lmao! And now you're pretending you didn't say it. You can't make this **** up! So his "mass appeal" in nyc is supposed to add to his argument for more cash right? Who has a bigger appeal in America and around the world? Take a guess. Do you need some numbers? Another poster all ready posted the results. Want social media numbers too? Lmfao! Let me guess. You have nothing to back up your argument? Do I see you telling people that Callum smith and BJS deserve more than 5 million to fight Canelo which is a 87.5/12.5 split? Nope. Nope. Nope. Lmfao. You don't care about the split. Quit fjcking lying.

Arum isn’t saying that there’s not enough money to go around, he’s saying that Lopez should be happy to take the offer and that he’s not worth more. Again, my point is that people aren’t talking about how this is an L for loma and arum if this fight doesn’t get made too. Where does loma go from here if the fight doesn’t get made? In the minds of the very worst Loma slurpers if he doesn’t fight someone he was going to beat them anyway so they count it as a win. I don’t get why this is such a big deal. Give Lopez 33-35% , make the fight. Now if Lopez turns that down, then he should be vilified.

You said he draws more in NYC and believed like many others that this would take place at MSG. But the problem is it isn't, is would have been happening in Vegas. So why the **** you talking about how well lopez draws in NYC? Did that add anything to the argument? Does that add any legitimacy to his argument for making more money? No! You like others keep changing your arguments everyday just becauze you hate Lomachebko because of his white skin. Look at your good old friend Goldie. Said nothing about negotiations until Teofimo tweeted about it and pretended like that was his angle the whole time. I like Lomachenko for reasons other than boxing? Lmfao! You're not even a FAN of TEOFIMO LOPEZ you just hate seeing a white man being successful. Quit lying big dunn. Literally. You think i just got on this forum today? I've personally been on the opposite side where you've told me to keep serving my white masters. So yeah man, you wonder why people think so low of people like you. Take a good ****ing look in the mirror. So I didn’t post he drew more, right? Yes it does imo.

Lopez is not wrong, he was expecting PPV, most fans thought this would be PPV then all of a sudden a Change Of Plans "ESPN Want In On Their Network" so now he has to take less than originally planned. ESPN wants it on their Networks then give Teofimo what he wants and lets fight. If they don't want to pay more then GTFO of the way and let them do PPV! :dunno: Everyone is taking less. Get the Fuk outta here.

Here is the exact quote: I posted he draws more in NYC than Loma, not that he is the bigger draw. I also clearly post Loma should get more. You have no real point. You like Loma for reasons other than boxing so you are fine Lopez is getting shafted here. You said he draws more in NYC and believed like many others that this would take place at MSG. But the problem is it isn't, is would have been happening in Vegas. So why the **** you talking about how well lopez draws in NYC? Did that add anything to the argument?

exactly...thats the real shame here... problem is the narrative that lopez is a "scared diva" fits better with some peoples internet pride and ego some of these guys live vicariously through loma and nothing can ever be anyone elses fault but the guy who isnt fighting him(not saying its lomas fault...its not...but look at arum)....look at the way they acted with golovkin...and to this day how they still talk about canelo bob arum loves yes men who take whatever he dangles in front of them...he loves obedient good boys.....loathes when fighters stand up or go out on their own Great post Curt. Summed it up perfectly.

I literally quoted you. Word for word. Do I need to do it again? Here is the exact quote: While I understand your point in general, You are making a classic mistake in your analysis. Unknown isn’t the same as drawing power. He draws more fans to msg than Loma does. He is from the ny area and has a huge following in the Latin community. His compensation should reflect that, right? I’m not saying it should be a 50/50 split but he is a champion in his own right. if you feel champs should get more, the split should be a little better than 75/25 right? I posted he draws more in NYC than Loma, not that he is the bigger draw. I also clearly post Loma should get more. You have no real point. You like Loma for reasons other than boxing so you are fine Lopez is getting shafted here.

My only advice would be to punt. Postpone it to a later date; Hopefully until this pandemic is over. That way Top Rank would be able to recover some of its loss revenue from a live gate. Actually, Lopez' manager agrees with Arum. He believes that there is just not enough money to go around at this point. He thinks that ESPN should do more to secure this fight. Who knows? Perhaps Team Lomachenko is willing to take a cut as well. Arum isn’t saying that there’s not enough money to go around, he’s saying that Lopez should be happy to take the offer and that he’s not worth more. Again, my point is that people aren’t talking about how this is an L for loma and arum if this fight doesn’t get made too. Where does loma go from here if the fight doesn’t get made?

How is not bowing down and settling for a 70something-20something split “pricing himself out”? People keep saying that there isn’t more money to give but Lopez’s problem is with the split. Why does loma deserve 70something percent of the pot? People also keep talking about how this is a mistake for lopez and he’s the ones that’s going to lose out if the fight doesn’t get made, but people aren’t realizing that loma and top rank/arum will lose out if the fight doesn’t get made too. Outside of tank lopez is the most viable opponent for loma. Arum said it himself, people want to see this fight and a lot of that is due to how lopez looked against commey and how he has talked the fight up over the last several months. Arum isn’t going to just be able to plug in another name and it spect ESPN to keep that same offer for the fight on the table. If this fight doesn’t get made then it’s going to be less money for loma and arum/top rank. I’ve seen Berchelt’s name thrown around.....loma isn’t getting 3.2m to fight him lol. Plus that fight doesn’t add much to his legacy. Loma isn’t just fighting for money at this point, he’s fighting for legacy too. A lot of fanboys running around here. Loma is 32 and probably had one more fight before he’s 33. Teo is only 23. He’s got time loma doesn’t.My only advice would be to punt. Postpone it to a later date; Hopefully until this pandemic is over. That way Top Rank would be able to recover some of its loss revenue from a live gate. Actually, Lopez' manager agrees with Arum.
