Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Seeks Resolution From IBF Regarding Kambosos Mandatory Title Defense

[BoxingIsGreat]

Lopez supposedly got COVID-19, Triller is trash and that bum Kambosos is from Australia with their retarded restrictions for COVID-19. Blame that sheeit instead of Floyd. Floyd ruined a lot of lives by whooping Pacquiao so easy .

Has been a patient gentleman throughout. I'd have raised hell if I were him. I'd love to see him win if it happens. Meantime, he should find a good lawyer.

Lopez has been a stinking ass ever since he beat boringchenko

[Oldskoolg]

Man oh man has Lopez really thrown out all the momentum he gained from beating loma. TR is going to end up losing money on this kid

I think it's a pretty decent argument! August 14th in the states, or GTFOH!

[STREET CLEANER]

Fighter wants to fight and some here are crying. It is called prize fighting and Thriller was the highest bidder and they had a couple of events that did OK.

Thriller over bid expecting the planets, sun and moon to come into perfect alignment. Over the long timeline people have come to realize that Lopez will talk up potential match-ups only to walk back every single competitive fight and make excuses for not facing a credible opponent in a division stacked with talent. Thriller can't find a big enough side show and Teofimo's image, credibility and his marketability have cratered.

In the end, Teo and George in the States, on it's own is a financial bust. Thriller is stuck without a side show and it's going to cost big.

Agreed.

Right, I don't get the angst towards Lopez. Triller is the one at fault here. They obviously overbid on the fight knowing it wasn't worth that much alone as they were trying to "pair" it with Holyfield. And when the Holyfield fight fell thru, they panicked.

Anyone else notice that Kambosos's manager is the Chief boxing officer at Triller? Clearly that's where the motivation for the high bid came from.

Can't blame Lopez for going after the higher payday. Even DAZN put in a higher bid than Top Rank. Had Triller not gotten too big for it's breeches, Lopez still would have gotten paid more than his promoters were willing to pay.

No sympathy for Lopez he conspired to go around his own promoter 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 of day in US for PPV. Fury also got Covid and his fight was postponed to Oct as well. It's not about the date he just doesn't want to go to Australlia then you shouldn't of been greedy and forced a purse bid or just vacate the belt if you don't want to go. He wants his cake and eat it too doesn't want to vacate but wants to dictate where the fight lands and still get paid after screwing top rank, Triller, fans who bought tickets for June 19, fighters on that undercard.

Yeah, that part! I was surprised he signed an extension after that! He better not complain later, like Crawford!
