Comments Thread For: Bob Arum on Teofimo Lopez Jnr balking at Devin Haney: ?This is nuts?

[Realizniguhnit]

Teo imo is someone who is dealing with CTE or some kind of brain injury from boxing, probably shouldn't even be in boxing anymore tbh. It's just like what's going on the ex UFC star BJ Penn recently falsely stated his family was murdered and that they were replaced by imposers living In his home..

[Ropeydope]

Uh, huh,huh,huh, he said ****+tator.
The fact that he’s giving the big turk schtick almost makes his asinine behavior admirable.
Almost.

[drablj]

he should accept 11 MILLION for prime mike tyson, let alone devin haney. madness.

i am starting to not like turki. he wastes money on canelo and american b**** instead of literally everyone else. he could fund top level tournaments with all the champions and top contenders from 15 divisions and unquestionably make boxing great again with money he wasted on irrelevant cards like cinco de mayo, canelo and heavyweights.

[brankobugarski]

I am with Bob - mind boggling behavior from Teo. Always asking for huge purses and now that Turki offers him a record purse that he has never seen in his life - he declines it.
Has $11M been confirmed?

By the way, Bob is right. Fight against Haney is much more winnable than against Boots Ennis.

Why not a unificatiion for Teo? Everybody at 140 has more fight in them than Haney. If Haney can't make 140 then he should fight Boots

Lopez promoter Arum told BoxingScene upon learning that the Brooklyn fighter is balking at making a 145lbs welterweight catchweight bout Aug. 16 in Saudi Arabia that officials described as “done” earlier this week.

No, Lance! YOU told us that this deal was "SIGNED" by both parties.
Here's your füking "article":

By now, you should've learned that a deal "done" doesn't mean it's also "signed", let alone by both parties.
Or was it that you just wanted to be first, rather than correct, and overtake Ring magazine in announcing it?
Clown!

Don’t blame Looez Haney sticks out the joint like Stevenson get the money but reputation is damaged he needs to fight a slugger or big puncher to get the best out of him don’t worry Arum will get him another bum for ESPN

[champion4ever]

Teo is just your typical racist bigot who is both bitter and green with envy against American black excellence in general.

In sports, athletics and competition in particular and in boxing especially. As a matter of fact all tribalists are. They are just hoping for the black guy to fail.

Glad this fight isn’t happening, lord keep Devin away from our main events

[rudy]

See Floyd thinking let it marinate one career over and now Davi’s has blemish on his record well done
