I hope TR docks his pay if he gives up the belt for such a lame reason. Triller and Teofimo seem like they’re made for one another.
Well said. Lopez made his bed.
great news, someone else can pick it up, sit on it & claim to be the divisions best, i wonder who that could be.......
I think Cruz Gonzalez is next for the shot.
Not watching 8 minute vid. Does this mean no Triller payday? Suck it up Lopez, you’re not a draw and will never be.
It says triller so far has lost 4 mil on Lopez, just moving the fight around. Lopez says he'll vacate the IBF if forced to fight in Australia.
He knows if he goes and fights in Australia if he doesn't get the KO he is gonna get robbed. He'd rather lose one than all three.
Thought he said KO within 3 doe. All talk no action.
Listen, I'm all for fighters getting as much money as they can because the sport is unforgivable and corrupt with no safety nets in place for the participants. With that being said, Lopez seems to be at a place of entitlement that his resume doesn't quite warrant.
Lopez conspired with his team and Kambosos's team to go around Top Rank with the purse bid. When you do that you are told whoever wins that bid owns the fight and can stage it wherever they want. According to Mike Copinger Triller lost $5M when the fight was cancelled because of Lopez. Lopez refused to get the vaccine was out selling products and doing a lot of public appearances and got Covid week of the fight. Triller trying to recoup that 5M Australlia will pay more for the fight and you can still stage it same time in US for PPV. But Lopez has kissed and made up with Top Rank inking a new contract increasing his pay if he don't want to give up home advantage just vacate. Probably best for both parties Triller can cut their loses and Lopez can go back to fighting on ESPN. Kambosos's manager works for Triller now so whoever he fights for vacant belt likely still goes on Triller.
