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

[Motorcity Cobra]

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.

Jacobs vs. Quillin sold 9,000 tickets. This event is struggling to sell 2,000. Even if they tripled the sales for this fight it still wouldn't sell as much as Jacobs vs. Quillin.

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.

Arum says Ward-Kovalev replay will precede Lomachenko-Walters. Likely sellout, 60 tickets left @Cosmopolitan_LV

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.

And Crawford is in a better position to become that new superstar with a win over Pac. The Loma vs. Pac fight will take place at 140, the weight where Crawford fights. If he can fight Loma at 140 he can fight Crawford at 140.

Whether people like him or not. It seems Loma is the one fighter people talk about the most in fantasy fights.
I always see people saying they want to see him in with: Walters, Vargas, Salido, Gamboa, Russell, Frampton, Valdez, Rigondeaux, Flanagan, Linares, Garcia, and there is a few more I'm missing.
Not bad for a guy nobody wants to see. And now people are talking about him facing Pacquiao. I know that hurts you. The talks are probably complete BS and you're here trying to figure it out.

You're just mad. Keep crying about it. Maybe it'll make you feel better.

Mad at what? I've said I don't like this fight for Lomachenko at 140, it's too big. I'm simply stating why Arum seems to be pushing this fight more than the Crawford fight which is a bigger fight than this one

[devildg]

they arent ever gonna fight. Thats what Bob does, hype up his own stable that they will fight Pac. been doing that for years

Because it won't be at 140. It would be at 135. Crawford blew his chances on fighting Pacquiao for pretending to be the A-side. "140 or duck." Kinda of **** and with that Pacquiao replied by taking on Jessie Vargas. Pacquiao already said that he would fight crawford but at 147.

[Dodger07]

I really think Bob wants to make lomachenko a superstar, and he probably favors Loma at 140 over pac. This would be a similar situation to the de la Hoya-pac fight at 147, not quite exact but the aging superstar going down in weight for the high rising lb for lb fighter. Loma still has to get past Walter's, however, and that's no sure thing.

[KeyboardWarrior]

+600 yesterday for Walters, +475 today.

Put the coin up or do some of you just run off at the beak?

[chaconfan]

Solid theory. Could be right.

Awesome gif you have there.

Is he really pushing the fight or just talking for publicity?

Lomachenko is an investion. He just has 6-7 fights, I don't think he expects him to be a big draw yet.
