Comments Thread For: Hearn To Arum: F--k Off! You Can't Do A Deal With Your Fighter, You Pay The Consequences

[Monty Fisto]

I hope this isn't some preamble to a breakdown in negotiations for that other fight we all know about.

I agreed with all of it until he called Lopez and Crawford superstars.

I think Teo has some entrepreneur type thinking, but yea his manager, David McWater, is among the best managers in the game so I suspect he had feelers out about how much this fight was worth.

And I mean with the popularity of boxing in Australia + Teo's new appeal this fight was CLEARLY worth more than TR was willing to pay so its not like this move to go to purse bid is THAT crazy. TR has always been a bean counter promotion & ALWAYS have issues with their stars or emerging stars as they move up the value scale.

Perfectly good way to summarize my friend. I concur. It’s unfortunate they won’t have the fight in the land of down under.

Agree with Eddie 1000%! Bob old fashion ways are DONE!

Lopez wants to hold the titles hostage. He knows Kambosis is a garbage fight.

Arum is so old he must have forgotten it’s his job as a promoter to make his fighters a draw. He’s lost his edge. He has 2 top P4P guys is Bud and Lopez and is complaining that he can’t pay them. He should just release them to ease his burden.

not a fan of hearn but he aint wrong

people like arum dont wanna change with the times and changing landscape of sports and how its delivered...just like he didnt like the way guys like haymon were giving power to the actual fighters....he hates change and loves it the way boxing used to be...with obedient good boys serving their bosses......

[SUBZER0ED]

Sounds like a pissing match between Unca' Bob and Teofimo. Lopez wants to shoot all the way to the top right now and Arum is trying to temper that in order to keep his costs reasonable. He's blaming Hearn on the principle of him upsetting the apple cart, given that Eddy needs Bob's cooperation to make the Fury vs Joshua fight. Meanwhile, Trilla wins the purse bid and now plans a PPV? Good luck with that.

[richardt]

Bottom line is will Triller who may have gone over the top more than they needed to on the bid, make a sizable profit or skin their teeth on this one?

Kambosos is his mando.

Fighting him is the exact opposite of holding the titles hostage.

Don't do it Bob , don't revome Fury from the fight
