    Loma fought Teo because that was the biggest payday he could get. ESPN made clear no Teo, smaller payday. Kudos to Loma for taking less when Teo demanded more as the bigger name. Mind you Loma was headlining in the Hulu Theater (5500 seats) not MSG main arena like Tito or Cotto.

    Haney tried to fight loma long time ago, Loma and TR avoided him, then Bob made Haney sign to TR to get the Kambosos and Loma fights for the titles.

    Tank is the big earner in the division so he doesn’t have to acquiesce to TR demands to sign to get a fight.
    Tank is UN proven and YOU know it. He has plenty to prove. Only thing he’s proven is he can whip class B fighters. He SHOULD be embarrassed. He might as change his past name to PAUL.

      That doesn’t sound like he thinks PBC avoided him.
      Pricing yourself out = ducking. He's said it before in other interviews that he was blackballed by pbc.
      in the end, hes the mutha***in man now. *** em all. He found out that big fish was a guppie after catching him, now he wants to go lion hunting.

      Lil by little hes exposing them boys.

      Real boxing fans knew Bud was who he said he was......

        Floyd literally said Tank wasn't ready when Loma called him out. He might take the fight now that Loma's been aged out and lost the luster.

        On a side note, I wouldn't be surprised if Tank v either Shakur or Loma would get fewer buys than a freak show like Garcia v that UFC guy who called out Tank. I'm going to be very curious to see how Tank does when his dance partner isn't Garcia with his million+ fans, and how Garcia does with that L.

          Agree he has something to prove.

          His resume could be better and he gets fairly criticized for not fighting Loma, Shakur and Haney.

          His resume would be evaluated differently if he wasnt on PBC.

          Undefeated Pedrazza ( before Loma), Walsh, cuellar, fonseca, pitbull, lsc, barrios. Not HOF level by any means.

          But suggesting its Jake Paul level is ridiculous.

            Soon as he got off TR, negotiations ramped up fight made.

            True. But he isn’t exposing anyone. He’s beating them.

            Notice he hasn’t dropped the lawsuit.

              As Floyd said, "Loma will be 40 someday". Just waiting until he is another faded name past his prime to make their move.

                Nah, hes exposing them and their bs. Like i stated, hes said it in many interviews over these last few weeks. In his interview w/Rogan, he called out Haymon and Espinoza for trying to block the fight.

                Either way, the fight is over with, i dont see a need for a rematch (up to Spence unfortunately), And Bud now has his sights set on charlo and maybe even Alvarez (which would be crazy imo), but fcuk it, hes striving for greatness.

                Davis on the other hand should take note. Yeah, Davis makes all this money but he isnt fighting anyone really credible at this point. A cruz rematch aint it. He SHOULD fight Loma, (I have Davis favored), beat him then fight the Shakurs, Haneys, Teos, etc. Its almost as if hes gone the opposite way. Hes picking and choosing his opps as if he put in the work and fought the top opps already.

Theres a reason pbc avoided him for years. Even Al knew Crawf wouldve dominated his stable. Bet you were one of them Spence cheerleaders who made excuses after that domination Crawf put on....Crawf beats tf outta Davis too...get real

                  Spence Forced Als hand to make the crawf fight. Remember that.
                  Ok then why is Bud suing TR? One simple freaking question.

                      Racism? Idk, and could care less.

                      He exposed the supposed big fish and smashed all them weak excuses.

                      Hes the man now.

                      Why hasnt Davis found his b@lls to tell his boss to even attempt to make a fight with Haney? Or any top guy at 135/140? 10 years and his only legit titles are at 130. wtf is taking so long? is he that content fighting nobodies? Might as well do a jake paul move and fight some mma guys like the yt 69 guy
