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

[FLY TY]

I don't see why they couldn't air the rematch on hbo at like 8, then air this fight at 9 on espn....problem solved.

[GMAN SUPREME]

why don’t u recognize the WBO fam? Gary russell Jr once fought for it

because they don't pay the clown like the other alphabet orgs LOL hence wba wbc ibf no wbo

How much was Lomochenko making when when he was 22 years old? was he even a champion cause I know TMT Tank been did that.

He was Olympic gold medalist (200k and a house), amatuer world champion, euro champion.

man dont even compare your boy with Loma

Hahaha! Whoa! winning three round fencing euro-tournaments with headgear ; in 2018 Olympic amateur boxing that looks like the special Olympics! what a clown ass fraud! he probably beat on little 17 year olds like the great Cuban amateurs

-- I see why he wants to fight Gervonta now ; no wonder Salidoe walk through his ass when he introduced him into the pro ranks.

Why is it Arum can’t even work with Delahoya, another boxing entity to close a deal but Al Haymon just had the second most profitable fight of all time co-promoting with a completely different sport in the UFC? Talk about a contrast in collaboration skills. It’s amazing how many folks want so badly to blame Al for the sports deficits when Bob has been strangling the sport for over 20 years. Yet more evidence, Bob Arum and his lazy style promoting have always been the reason big fights don’t happen.Really we can’t see an “okay,” matchup because of a freaking date?

[deanrw]

what reason was there to accept it? three titles wasnt enough?

the wba's disgraced bribe taker leaves and starts the wbo and i'm supposed to recognize a fourth world title created out of thin air by the former leader of the wba's bribery ring?

I know what you mean. It would be impossible for the WBO to match the super clean reputations of the other three orgs. They would never do anything shady LOL

All of them follow a money trail. You are not fooling anyone.

If I'm Loma I'd fight Linares over Beltran

Agreed, Linares or bust.

Even if he beat Beltran he wont get the credit and there is no guarantee he can hurt or even hold off a much bigger physical fighter in a higher weight class.

Styles make fights and Beltran, if you can't hurt him, he is a bad style.

Al Haymon just had the second most profitable fight of all time that was beat out by Bob Arum with the most profitable fight of all time. So what does that prove?

Nobody said the other groups weren't shady. Most big businesses are shady. But what is the logical explanation for accepting a fourth world title? Especially when it was founded by the disgraced blackballed WBA bribetaker?

All of them follow a money trail. You are not fooling anyone.

Of course they do. Where did I say otherwise?
