Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Wants 'Nine-Figure' Contract to Continue Fighting, Will Consider Retirement

[The Big Dunn]

Anyone see Teo today with Max Kellerman retiring?

That's at least a 100,000,000.00, dollar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez type of contract. This guy's megalomania, and delusions of grandeur know no boundaries.
Please by all means retire, you're greed doesn't meet you're skills, class, or achievements in this sport of boxing.
No promoter in their right mind will offer you anywhere near that kind of money, not even for a multiple fight contract.

teo beat loma but refused to give him a rematch, i presume with the belts he could have got quite a nice payday for that one and even brought it to his hometown too, he beat taylor for his belt but again hes challenger in that one too, hes listening to his pops, he needs to establish himself better, he should get a good deal in a unification fight or popular fighter with the right opponent and venue i think, another nice win and maybe another belt and hes got better cash, hes got the wrong attitude, he thinks he climbed the mountain but u get paid if u stay there not on the way down

Not saying does not deserve the $. Wasn't he saying .. divorce and she's taking half his money. I think they're all going to call his bluff. Eddy may see an opening to try and rebuild.

dude wants 9 figures but couldnt even sell out the small room at the Garden?????


good luck with that....

The world has chitted on him and his pops for the longest. They tried to cancel him on social media and Top Rank was hopi to drive the final nail in his coffin.

against all odds Teo wins and he’s just enjoying his moment, telling all his haters fucc you pay me if you want to see me.

I ain’t mad.

war Lenca!

war Lopez!

He is just talking because he is emotional. Tayo still has a love and passion for the sport. I am more than confident that he'll be back.

Besides, he is going to have to keep fighting because he is in a middle of a messy divorce. His ex-wife is entitled to half his fortune if there was not a prenuptial agreement available.

If he stops fighting now then he will go broke. He's complaining about a Million dollars per bout. That's a lot more than a lot of current fighters are making.

[SweetPbfAli]

Didn't he overplay his hand like this when he beat Loma? Only to have Triller flake on their purse bid and fight for far less than he thought he was going to make.

I understand him wanting his money but I don't see this ending well.

9 figures mean atleast 100 million contract. The way economy is going he can get only in Saudi Arabia or some nearby gulf countries

$100 million+ has literally never been guaranteed and would be a bigger payout than all but like the top 2 biggest payouts in history (e.g., Mayweather vs Pacquiao), which were themselves outliers even compared to other large payouts from those fighters. I can understand throwing out a big number because you expect it to get whittled down, but this is orders of magnitude bigger than a big number. Either Teo has never taken even a basic math class, or he's just being so ridiculously silly that no one will be willing to even come to the table with him. It's like saying, "Ok, we can enter negotiations, but my starting offer is a bagillion gazillion dollars." You just sound like a child that has no idea what he's doing.
