I don't watch a lot of ESPN but I did notice his fight wasn't pushed as much as the last two fights (Pacquiao/Horn and Loma/Marriaga).
Bud's sister explaining how it wasn't promoted as much
Maybe it has something to do with the investors pulling out and Top Rank is tasked with funding it themselves

They did not promote his fight until the day of. They promoted Lomachenko fight on all social media sites the whole week of the fight.

When and where other then of the weigh ins? We looked everyday and nothing. Yes he was promoted at that fight but thats it.

It was also understood that Top Rank would have access to a third-party venture capital fund that would provide financial assistance for the signing and development of fighters. But the venture capital investor is believed to have pulled out of the deal at the last minute leaving Top Rank in the position of asking ESPN for more money (which might not be forthcoming), finding another investor, or digging deeper into its own pocket to finance its portion of the venture.
