Bob Arum/Top Rank have no leverage with HBO or Showtime

[Larry the boss]

So... it's public knowledge that HBO turned down Walters-Lomanchenko.

He wants to sell the fight to Showtime... but who is the next highest bidder for the fight?

NOBODY.

Showtime should offer $400k max for the fight and watch Arum do nothing lol.

Whats your issue with this fight?? its actually a damn good fight

[PKing]

Yeah that quite the idea....then the fight doesn't happen imbecile

Fine with me... let the market dictate what the fight is worth. Put that shiet on PPV smart guy.

Who said I had an issue with this fight?

I'm merely stating facts... Arum has no leverage to ask for big $$$. The fight won't do ratings.

No need to overpay when there is no second bidder whatsoever.

Not surprising you're missing the whole point but WHY would Showtime pay $2 million+ for the fight when Arum's only outlet is Solo Boxes paying $50k.

Why?

Because YOU want them to? Lol

The point is there won't be a fight unless he gets what he needs to pay the fighters...they won't fight for 150k each against each other...the fights worth 2 million if Crawford-Lundy got like 1.5 that's for sure..

And then there's this thing called market economics.

The price to pay according to competitive bids and the ratings it will draw.
