Lomachenko-Walters OFF because Top Rank has no leverage

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.

You're wrong actually boxing promoters would never box themselves in like this. He's attacked Showtime when in the past promoters would use the threat of Showtime or independent ppv to punk out HBO.

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.

Let's just ignore the fact that Golovkin vs Monroe would probably get more tv ciews than Lomachenko vs Walters. Neither is a big draw.

Wait ... did you actually just say that anyone who watches HBO is a racist loser? Wow, this forum really is the gift that keeps giving.

And that is why you and people who think like you just don't get it.

Boxing promoters have garbage business models.

Exactly.

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

Sounds right. Walters vs Loma would be the most mouth watering card on the schedule and HBO wants to pay 500k.

Trash like Golovkin vs bums hurts the sport long term.

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 ****.

this right here. neither walters or lomachenko are big draws only die hard boxing fans know them. I don't hear lomachenko asking for 1 million to fight. this is a straight up duck move on walters part and if the fight doesn't happen he gets the blame.

Think about the race of most American boxing stars. Now think about how many Black American fighters you see on HBO. HBO has made it clear Blacks are not wanted at HBO as viewers or fighters.
