Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Linares: Arum, Gomez Trade Words - No Date Budge

[jjsmyth87]

Arum had to take it old school mafia don on Peter Nelson for ruining the Loma Linares fight and counter programming him. Peter Nelson should realize thats bad for boxing in general. Why cant they just do a trade like they were talking about? Golden Boy isnt letting Linares fight on that day because of Hbo its ridiculous Arum has every right to be mad

How dumb is that Gomez? He's conducting himself as if his side matters in this match-up.
He's not paying for the fight, he's not securing arena or TV date, he's just supplying B-side fighter because of the record purse offered. Why is Gomez even talking?

Loma is fighting on 12th, on ESPN, it's clear. Making the same amount of money - Linares or not.
Linares doesn't even have a fight and when GB finds one it will be for 1/4th of the Arum's offer or less - his usual payment.
