Comments Thread For: Lopez-Kambosos: Triller Fight Club Wins Rights To Title Fight With $6,018,000 Bid

Why do you think the Paul fight really fell through?

Because Fanmio was to be the platform originally, but now Floyd and Triller have a thing.

There were articles about him switching months ago.

I know Fanmio did a "win a video with TBE" thing last year that apparently didn't do the numbers Floyd was hoping for. I have a shirt, I'm good with that. I was not about to drop $1,000 to guarantee a talk with Floyd that would just be "well you know...._________was a helluva fighter, a true champion".

Gotcha. Smart move then. "He was a young, hungry lion" blah blah blah

But Porter can force the Purse Bid too, it doesn't have to be Crawford. Porter just needs to activate his Mandatory status and then notify the sanction body that they can come to a deal so to activate the purse bid.

and no Porter hasnt done it

I just want the old way of things being done to collapse. We're being held captive by outdated practices and the sport is suffering.

Wish more fighters have more balls to do this. But they want to wait around and hope a promoter would give them more money. Seriously Teo Lopez has shown he is smarter than most of the boxers that are ahead of him.

We have Porter sitting and talking about not fighting etc. When as the number 1 guy he can do the same s hit like this. But they would let themselves be controlled by an adviser, an adviser who doesn’t seem to have their best interests at heart.

Hopefully this opens more doors for others. Boxers need to be more intelligent like Lopez.

I think it's courage more-so than intelligence. I don't think most fighters really want to find out how much they are truly worth because it'll burst their delusion of grandeur. I hope more fighters start forcing their promoter's hand through purse bids.

IF they make money, 100% keep going Triller. But very hard to see that happening.

Idk man I'm not as pessimistic about Triller. They generated $80M of revenue off of two 50+ year old legends main event with a YouTube star vs a NBA star co-main. I don't think making more than $6M in revenue here is that hard.

That's a lot of money for a trash fight.

No doubt. When you inflate purses like this, nobody will ever take a risk to fight someone dangerous. Get rich fighting nobodies. Spence done it for the most part, bad precedent.

Hey Triller put up 15 million and get us Gervonta vs Teofimo

Lol, but probably correct. A lot of guys might be getting overpaid so testing their value might be a net negative.

Obviously that's not the case for Teofimo so this was a good move for him.

It'll be interesting to see where this TR/Teo relationship goes in the future doe. Every fight ain't gonna be a purse bid fight so this is only going to work for ABC mandated fights & if Teo moves up he is gonna be completely at the mercy of TR unless he gets into a mando spot & that's likely to be a short money fight as he won't be champ.
