Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Fires Back at Teofimo Lopez: 'He's F------ Completely Deluded'

Pot kettle.

[tkoboxingscene]

Think he's a bigger draw than Haney though. Imagine how Haney v Shakur would fail to sell...

Haney annoys me, but this is a dumb take. Teo has never even been on ppv, and Haney has filled up bigger places than teo has ever fought in.

I don’t think he should get 20 mil but I’m assuming he’s going with the start high negotiation approach. Not for nothing but he probably sees that Hearn paid Canelo much more than that for him to face guys like fielding, smith, Saunders , and Yidilgrim. Not that Teo is on Canelo’s level but…..a fight with him and Haney will likely do better business than those matchups.

No, it won't. Teo has never even been on ppv.

"He talks about the biggest gate in the history of The Theater, complete rubbish and by the way, it holds like 3,900 [seats]. So you’re capping about selling 3,800 tickets and you’re this mega star who should be getting $20 million. Amazing fighter but just calm down" - Eddie Hearn

Yeah, Teo is losing it!

I don’t know what planet you are living on and how so? Thus far, Haney has done more than two pay per views in his career. Whereas, Teo hasn’t done even one.

Besides, Haney just recently sold out the Oracle center in San Francisco. While Teofimo Lopez, Jr couldn’t even sell out the Madison Square Garden Theatre which seats only 3900 people in his own hometown.

I agree. Haney/Lopez are two evenly matched opponents.

Moreover, you are right. Yes Eddie did over pay Canelo for those over matched opponents that you’ve mentioned and lost a ton of dough on them as well.

It nearly put DAZN out of business. Which forced them to go back to that so called obsolete and outdated business model PPV; Just in order to recover some of the financial losses..

Please don't give the WBC any ideas for a new belt.

Guys should make their own belt at this point.

Eddie Hearn.
You are a man in his mid 40's.
You should not be using the word " capping " in place of " lying ".

Regardless of how many young guys you work with.
You sound like a complete idiot saying it.

[STREET CLEANER]

Teo is delusional and annoying but that is how he sells himself. Hearn can be upset at him but the first chance he gets to promote him he will and take it all back.

I hate to say it, but the fraud Paul sells more than any of these guys. None of them will ever break PPV buys or live gate records! Aside from Ryan Garcia who has a huge following (don’t know why?) no one else has that! Haney did horrible numbers vs Prograsis in PPV. Tank never did the PPV numbers like he did vs Garcia, and it was Garcia’s first ppv. Who knows if he will ever pulled this numbers again. Like Hopkins calls them the new era of boxing (The drama princesses now days) they spend more time on social media talking **** all the time and not delivering performances as the should be doing!
