Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: The Only Way I Come Back Is Multi-Fight Deal Directly With a Network - Not a Promoter

[archiemoore1]

Teofimo will be back, because after his wifey takes all his money in their divorce and moves on and has a baby with the next dude, Teo will be broke and heart broken. He'll have to come back for the money. He'll also come back to try and make it big to prove to her that he's not a simp like Big Charlo. The problem is, he's so fragile mentally and overly emotional, that he'll get knocked out bad trying to come back, and then his career will really be over.

A nine figure deal is very, because that's about one hundred million plus. That's a deal that Canelo received.

The networks should get rid of the promoters and just pay for the best fights.

They can do a better job of promoting cards anyway, by airing constant ads and putting on “shoulder programming.”

Teo wants some of that DAZN money. They already squandered that and are taking on water. He’s a day late and a dollar short.

Good luck with that lmfao…he’s too unstable and I expect this divorce, it’s cost, and the reality that he just lost half whatever he’s worth will have him right on back in the sport. Putting his foot in his delusional mouth. Too high risk and little reward for a network. Networks won’t babysit him like top rank has. Hes got the charisma of a dull blade.

As nice as that would be, way too many intangibles and moving parts. Also, if you die in a fight, the network has zero liability involved. They’d be taking on huge liabilities otherwise this would’ve been happened. Also, let’s be real, we complain about judge cards now, I can only imagine what a close fight will result in the lynch mob of network favoritism would be at an all time high.

Wow! 100% agree.

Big networks like ESPN and CBS (which owns Showtime) could easily take on liabilities and handle any logistics.

They can also do a way better job of drumming up interest for a fight than Bob Arum’s half-assed effort for Teofimo vs Josh Taylor.

Bad judging needs a national boxing commission to address but that’s another story.

Teofimo Lopez has an idea or two of what could compel him back to the ring. The former unified lightweight champion and recently crowned junior welterweight titlist turned heads earlier this week when he announced his retirement from the sport. Not even two days after he earned a unanimous decision over WBO 140-pound titlist Josh Taylor at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the 25-year-old Lopez went on

I like Teo, I predicted he would whip Taylor. That said, he better not price himself out of the game. He and his father can be replaced by Shakur, Tank or Haney. Are they better than him?? Never know if they boycott him. Don’t be too ****** Teo

Retired so he can claim no ongoing income in his divorce case, then back in the contract-signing business as soon as the judgement is filed.

Tosser.
