I figured out why Bob is trying to feed Loma to Pac

[Motorcity Cobra]

Loma is severely overpaid. He's making $1 mil for this fight at the Cosmo and it's not even sold out. Cosmo holds 2K people. He's been making $750k or more fighting on undercards and $850k or more as the main event. His TV ratings are horrible. He can't sell any venue. Top Rank has done all they can for this guy. Gotten him title shots. Put him on PPV undercards. Put him on HBO as the main event and in New York on Puerto Rican weekend with two Puerto Rican fighters on the card. He just can't seem to catch on with the general public. He's becoming a huge liability for Top Rank. If he beats Manny he becomes a star and earns those paydays. If he loses, oh well. That's a reason for Bob to cut those purses like he did with Manny after he lost to Floyd and the Bradley fight sold poorly. Manny went from $20 mil to $7 mil for Bradley III to $4 mil for Vargas. That's why he'll get the Pacquiao fight before Crawford.

I can agree with at least one thing you said. Lomachenko is grossly overpaid. He can't draw flies to his fights, but is making more than fighter with 30 or 40 fights under their belts. Unfortunately, after he gets exposed by Walters on Saturday, Arum will still make Pacquaio/Lomachenko because that is what Arum does.

Makes sense actually. Fighting in such a small venue and making a milly? Doesn't add up. Will take a lot for loma to be a star in the us most likely

[Golden Boi 360]

Just the thought of this fight seems crazy. Loma is 3 weight classes below, lol.

Uncle Bob is a snake.

[Eff Pandas]

Solid theory. Could be right.

What will be the gate revenue for Loma-Walters if they sold out the Cosmo?

But if he fights Pacquiao isn't he gonna have to pay Loma more? While most likely not making much from gate or buys.

And as far as him not drawing, I can see why. People talked about Rigo being boring but the guy had some charisma (especially if you knew spanish) and he was making headlines and talking **** about people. Lomachenko doesn't seem to have any charisma, I never see videos of him and he doesn't talk about anyone.

quite possibly, but Freedom is still gay
