Comments Thread For: Arum: Triller Can Buyout Teofimo Lopez's Contract If They Like Him So Much, We Made $800K In 5 Minutes

[_original_]

Arum played his cards right here even though I hate to give that old geezer any credit.

Crawford is pissed, Fury is pissed, Teofimo is pissed, and there's only one common denominator! Mr. Mayweather, please make an offer to buyout Terence Crawford? We need the BIG fight in 2021! Do it for the culture fam!

Keep that same energy


If you criticized Haymon for big purses in PBC

Don’t celebrate trilla doing it

This will probably be Ppv

I thought mismatch ppvs were a bad thing?

That's a terrible fight that Arum now doesn't have to pay for. I don't understand why he's upset.

He's not, he's ecstatic.

DAZN is ESPN's direct competitor. He's mad that Hearn was trying to take a fight he had no stake in. Had Teo gone to DAZN even for one fight, it would have been bad for TR. But since DAZN didn't win the bid, he's fine; he doesn't have to tap into his budget and made 800k.

ESPN still loses in that they don't get to put their new ratings draw on their air, but in theory Arum can use the scratch to try and make another that will draw viewers.

Leicesterage Arum isn't bashing his fighter his fighter decided to go and get someone crazy enough to overpay for George Kambosos!!! If Haymon didn't want to overpay for a unknown contender against Spence would you be saying he "bashed" his fighter if Spence got someone dumb enough to overpay for a unknown fighter??!! I don't think so

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Lopez is either gonna wait out his contract or take whatever arum offers. The fact he got paid that much for a weak fight is ridiculous

[sicko]

Fighters paying a promoter 20% just so he can insult, disrespect them and tell them that they're not worth much?

My guess is because it's going to set a precedent. When Lopez actually fights an opponent people have heard of, or a fight people want to see he's going to demand a huge amount more than this.

miked85 not the same PBC overpays for their "stars" to fight scrubs and TR doesn't and Triller has nothing to do with TR so why the unnecessary hate for TR when their fighter got someone dumb enough to overpay??

If he gets 4 Million to fight kambosos, he will probably demand 10 million for bigger fights now.
If no one else had bid, arum would have been able to show teofimo that he isnt worth that much and should just take his offers next time.
