    Walters may not be as marketable as Loma but he performed well on TV and has the best win out of both of them (over Donaire)..

    Of course we will never know this for sure.
    you're wrong arum had nothing to do with it.canelo getting hurt allowed HBO to make the fight financially.walters himself seemed more intent on sitting around waiting for a big payday.

      of course Arum did, he is the promoter of both. he made comments that Walters was pricing himself out etc etc. I didn't believe it then.

      Remember at 1st they didn't fight because Walters gave up the title on the scales and Loma was trying to "unify". Then it was a money thing, walters was pricing himself out.

      I don't buy it but all that doesn't matter now as they are signed to fight.

        And if Loma wins he might not get full credit. The Bobfather strikes again!
