Showtime offers Top Rank $1.1M for Loma-Walters

[-PBP-]

So Sho is offering 100k more than HBO? Isn't the hold-up (one of them at least) that Walters supposedly wants to be paid a million?

Nah he's backed off that stance. They've got him down to a more realistic number.

[-Kev-]

You can't gamble your own purse. That's illegal. People keep saying Walters isn't worth $1M but in terms of supply and demand he is worth that. The demand for Loma to fight a top opponent is high and the supply is short. Who else is he gonna fight? Walters is pricing himself at market price.

Is that ********? Lomachenko will not win anymore than what he's guaranteed if he wins. Walters will win $300k more if he wins. Plus Lomachenko said to put it as a stipulation in the contract. I don't see how that's illegal.

If Top Rank put up the money as a bonus it would work. But I'm pretty sure risking your own money could be seen as ********. Betting sites wouldn't touch that fight.

The market has determined the fight is worth $1.1M. Sho and HBO aren't paying their purses they're paying for the fight. Time for Top Rank to find the extra money.

To be fair, Stephen Espinoza said 1.1+ (No lower than)

And tbh, at this point, I kind of hope Showtime gets it over HBO

HBO please get your act together

Arum isn't ****** enough to take this bait.

He goes to Showtime and than all of a sudden hbo shuns him for his lack of loyalty.

And now arum has no where to go, because he pissed off hbo, and Haymon runs Showtime's dates.

No way arum could be this ******. They trying to ambush his old ass.

[GMAN SUPREME]

LOL showtime and gaymon are trying to set arum up.arum is too smart for that.

Bob wants it only on the date we already have Provodnikov-Molina...so we can't. If he were flexible, he'd get 1.1M+. https://t.co/YbyVZUGTV1

1.1 Million to Split? It is a big fight for us Hardcore Fans but it is clear it is not that big of a fight to Networks! I'm a little surprise that neither network is willing to offer more for this one. Why not just have both fight other opponents on the same card to try and build this one up more

Man I just wanna see this fight, idc what network it's on.
