Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Lomachenko Can Make More Versus Linares on HBO

[Bronx2245]

You obviously have no idea what your talking about, loma rigo was sold out in 2 days. It was the 2bd most expensive ticket on the resale market. Hence why Lomas next fight will be at the main arena at Msg.

People are acting like Linares is the A side for whatever reason. He has been fighting on undercards for 250k in fights that only get 700k viewers. Meanwhile Loma got 2 million people to watch him destroy Rigo and got paid 1.2 mill making him one of the highest paid in the sport. Espn is giving Top Rank the May 12th date and Loma is the A side so if this fight cant get made Golden Boy and Hbo is to blame. Oscar shouldnt care anyways hes going to make a lot of money on the actual ppv not the replay. Besides Linares was fighting on undercards and now hes likely being offered a 7 figure career high payday by far and a chance to fight one of the biggest draws in the sport. Looks like Loma is fighting on May 12th regardless if its against Linares or not so Golden Boy would be wise to let Linares fight. If not then theyre screwing Linares out of a lot of money and recognition.

If Loma Linares cant get made because Golden Boy wont allow it then it looks like Beltran will be the opponent. People forget Beltran was considered the 2nd best lightweight a couple years ago when he got robbed against Burns. He should have been Wbo champ way back then. Hes only lost to Crawford since then and has 4 knockouts in a row. Beltran vs Linares would be a close fight in my eyes

What do you think about Lomachenko vs. Verdejo on May 12th? Which fight will have more views, Garcia vs. Linares, or Lomachenko vs. Beltran?

Oscar's not telling the truth, but the rest of your points are valid.

Hbo already confirmed hes telling the truth about bîtch bob & lomaducko, Arum already confirmed that fishnets is telling the truth

This would be a Fan's fight especially with Linares fast hands but HBO is notoriously cheap and no figures at all have been mentioned so let's wait and see but with linari still being cut prone have to go with Loma..

both sides playing games..

question: how does hbo showing the reply of ggg vs canelo 2 will benefit golden boy? do they get an extra check for ratings/viewers?

they get a spot on the undercard of the replay... you put your fight before or after the replay to gain viewers... at one point they had canelo vs kirkland in that spot for an average of 2.146 million viewers... canelo-ggg replay should give them close to 900k viewers alone, it will be ****** not to take advantage of the biggest boxing event of the year...

ah got it. i wasnt aware of that. i figure since the fight is over already, a reply of it wouldnt mean much, but i was wrong.

Hell, everybody streams the PPV fights legally or not so nobody will watch the rematch. Let's get it on LOMA!!

By Keith Idec - Oscar De La Hoya has drawn his promotional line in the sand. On the opposite side stands Bob Arum, his former promoter and current competitor. Who else would it be based on their longstanding love-hate relationship? Arum and De La Hoya seemingly agree on most things pertaining to putting together an intriguing Vasyl Lomachenko-Jorge Linares lightweight title fight...

Everybody would like a second chance to see GGG KO Cantyellow. Put the fight on that night as part of a double header.

Lmao

As if Arum gives a **** if Loma makes more.

That's what Oscar wants! He wants Linares vs. Lomachenko on HBO, as the live fight, with the replay of GGG vs. Canelo as the double feature!
