    Are 9000 tickets sold enough to pay a purse of 3 millions for the fighters?

      Probably cuz Walters looked great at the weigh in. I think Arum had a couple bisexual moments checking out his abs.

      I love those odds & I was thinking about throwing something on Walters, but I feel he's a bit of a knucklehead so won't be as focused as he'll need to be to win + Loma is gonna outbox him as long as he's standing so it going 12 = Loma winning + even if Walters is focused & makes it interesting I got lil faith in him getting those close rounds to win or perhaps even a fair decision if he deserves it legitly. Therefore I'm passing on this fight. If you have more faith in Walters than I or think Loma is still more of a figment of Arum's imagination than substance then these are still some sexy ass odds doe.

        What's funny and intriguing about this fight is Walters is the one who is undefeated. Axe man better do as his name suggests and go to the body early and often!

          Nah. This is something promoters normally do. No different from Hearn presenting other choices and make it appear to Khan, for example, that he's not the only option he got for Brook.

          Arum is getting ready for the Crawford/Pac negotiations. He's presenting Loma as plan B in case the Crawford negotiations will turn out to be difficult. He saw signs that this Crawford team is already acting as if they're the A-side such as already dictating the fight to be at 140. In short, Crawford team's reaction to a Pac fight was no different from Broner and Garcia. Which wasn't the case with many of the fighters Pac fought.

            I don't want to see Pac draining himself to make 135. I don't want to see Loma blowing up to make 140. If Pac can make 140 for Loma there is no reason he can't make 140 for Crawford and Crawford is right for saying 140
