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

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

nope he trying to push that superstar status onto lomochenko.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

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.

Rigo is a great **** talker if you understand spanish. Lomochenko is a weirdo I seen a interview with some chick and him and dude was giving her the in love googly eyes type of look. LMFAO that chick was like a foot taller than him lmfao.

Certainly plausible.

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.

But 1.5 millions was an ok purse for Jacobs who wasn't even a champion when he fought Quillin? (and is now regular/interim). Some consistency please? Jacobs doesn't sell either. I think he's even worse when it comes to ratings and sold seats.

How the heck is Bob trying to feed Loma to Pac when Pacquiao is passed his prime and at the edge of retirement? Lomachenko is the perfect candidate for a new super star. Skilled Athletic, and Entertaining. Why would bob try to cash him out?

He needs a new superstar, and if he is the snake that you call him in then it is just common sense that Bob would put on a "Youth vs Experience" Type of match up that would finally let Pacquiao give loma a chance to take the torch from him. I don't know what the heck you guys are talking about.

"OH TERRENCE CRAWFORD!" You keep on shouting that ****, when Terrence had the chance to fight Pacquiao at 147 he refused and pretended to be the A-side in a 97k PPV fight.

I havent seen much of him outside of the ring but I do get that vibe from him.

I think Arum is just using Pac's name to promote and hype up Loma and this fight. Never thought about that?
Also, the fight(Loma-Walters) is sold out. Arum has confirmed. The Cosmopolitan holds 3,200 people by the way, not 2,000. Not much of a difference but had to point it out for ya. Unless it's different for boxing events.

Even if the Pac-Loma talks were real, from what I understand, Arum doesn't want the fight next. Apparently there is a better chance for Pac-Crawford next and if Pac gets through that he'll look for a Pac-Loma fight. That's the funny part. Again, I seriously doubt that any of this is true. People are paying too much attention to this and overthinking it.

Wouldn't be the first time Uncle Bob got it wrong. Remember when he had that Zhou Shimeng guy fighting on American TV. The ****?? No one gives a **** about some feather fisted Chinese junior straw weight. You just cant create another Pacquiao, dude.

Cool theory, and post. Extremely plausible considering loma's lack of drawing power.

Makes sense, but really, we know arum usually only matches up manny in "inhouse" fights.. And arum is running out of stablemates.. Crawford and loma are the next 2 in line..
