Comments Thread For: Arum Explains Why Lomachenko-Linares Being on HBO is a 'Waste'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum believes ESPN is the perfect outlet to showcase a potential showdown between lightweight bout between Vasyl Lomachenko and WBA world champion Jorge Linares. Arum has an ESPN televised date of May 12, from New York's Madison Square Garden, penciled in for Lomachenko's debut at 135-pounds. He tried to secure Linares as the opponent for the card - but there is a scheduling conflict for Linares' promoter, Golden Boy Promotions.

Just give us Linares. I think Loma is too much for Lightweight Champ Beltran.

He's a spiteful old man but he's right.

All I know is that the live card that GBP is planning to pair with the replay is going to the one of the ****tiest cards you'll ever see.

Instead of working together and giving fans the fight they want. GBP's greed is getting the best of them. They can obviously negotiate a way that Loma vs. Linares can appear before or after the replay. GBP's refuses to make that accommodation because they want to show their prospects, that no one cares about, like Ryan Garcia, Rey Vargas, Diego De la Hoya etc.

We want Linares or Easter. Beltranny might have to do though

[Good,yeah!!!]

Of course he is too much, but the fight against Linares is almost unbelievable. HBO has an exlusive rights for the next Linares's fight, and Arum has a conflict with HBO. I'm almost sure, we will see Lomachenko-Beltran at 12 May.

So we're supposed to believe the scumbag who testified in court that he regularly bribes sanctioning bodies to rank bums as #1 contenders to get bouts sanctioned, somehow that scumbag now supposedly would rather take the smaller payday to give the fans what they want,yet how convenient that since HBO won't be insane enough to counter program themselves,Arum would rather match lomaducko with another in house cherry who he bribed the WBO to give yet another undeserved trinket; since hes yet another no hoper for lomaducko to face.

If Arum is so concerned with doing whats best 4 the fans then why would he rather have lomoducko fight an in house WBO 🍒 instead of who the fans would rather he fight??? Because hes full of sh & has ALWAYS planned on turning lomaducko into ggg 2.0 full of hype & shtalk but afraid of daring to be great.

I hope lomaducko loses to the next 🍒he faces,then his fangirls will jump ship to Deryevchenko or whatever other hypejob espn creates...🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 If you see it quacking it must be lomaducko

He's a spiteful old man but he's right.

He's right but when Al did this 3 years ago...everyone including Arum said he was killing boxing lol.
