Lomachenko-Walters OFF because Top Rank has no leverage

[PKing]

What an embarrassing situation for Arum & Top Rank.

They have such a weak business model that they rely completely on HBO to fund them. They have no leverage at all.

Top Rank will be dead in a few years for sure.

Top Rank is in real trouble. They actually have some good prospects like Verdejo, Valdez and the Ukrainians but they have no depth. Hard to run a boxing promotion with 5 world level fighters.

Who said it's off?

if the fight really is off its walters fault he priced himself out to duck lomachenko.top rank isn't going anywhere.500k for walters was more than fair he's not a big name he got everything he wanted the fight at 130 and got it pushed back because his lazy ass needed more time to make weight. I hope top rank benches his ass for awhile and he becomes irrelevant.

With only 3 HBO dates a year, Top Rank is the ****** of promotional en******. No money to pay their roster... ******

It's not happening because Walters ducked. He refused a career high payday despite barely getting 400k viewers as a headliner on HBO and not drawing ****.

HBO paid Golovkin 1.5 million to beat up bum Monroe but they want to pay 500k for a glamour fight like Walters vs Loma? It'd why HBO only appeals to racist losers.

Good Arum deserves to fail.

Exactly.

Didn't Rigondeaux get $750k to fight Donaire?

Weak business model? That's how boxing has been run for like the past 50 years.

The problem isn't Arum in this case. It's HBO. Arum is just suffering because of it. Their business model isn't what's wrong.
