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

[TreJac]

Looks like another snoozer for Loma. He's allowing Arum to really screw his career.

Are you serious? Here's a fighter with only 11 fights and already a two division champ! Not to mention, started making $1 mil per fight a few fights ago but you really believe Bob is screwing up his career? GTFOH! No other promoter would dare to promote their fighter this way. Look at all the BS going on with fighters who have over 30 pro fights and still refuse to fight other top guys.

"I can't answer for that. I just know that Nelson is skating on very thin ice in his own pond and he better watch his step. That's all I've got to say."-Bob Arum

Now is it me, or is that a threat? That's some real gangsta ****! Arum knows that when you say some **** like that, there's no going back! Beltran vs. Lomachenko is a lock! If Bob can't play nice with Showtime, Loma and Crawford will suffer, and that's a shame! There's just not enough fighters in TR's stable for these kind of tactics! What does Bob do if he can't persuade Loma to fight Pacquiao @ 140? What does Loma do after a Pacquiao fight? What does Crawford do after the Horn fight?

Is it me or does it seem like Pac isnt gonna be fighting on that Crawford card? We're a week away from March & still nothing is official. That's hardly enough time for Pac to prepare for the 14th. Hoping he tells Bob to Fvvck off and try to tell the ppv without him

I think Pacquiao vs. Alvarado is a lock! It so sad! Manny wants Matthysse, Bob says no! Loma wants Linares, Bob says no! We're getting Beltran and Alvarado, when NOBODY wants to see it!

Linares doesnt stand much of a chance against Loma either. The crazy part about all this is Top Rank is offering Linares 5x his best payday and Golden Boy will no doubt be making good money while doing minimal promotion abd everything was a go it seemed until Peter Nelson said hes not approving it on that date unless its on Hbo. Linares is upset Golden Boy wont let him fight Loma. Peter Nelson knows Top Rank is contractually bound to Espn and Arum already had Msg booked for the 12th as well as Espn giving them that date with a good lead in which would only make the fight bigger. Hbo and Showtime are only getting like 600k viewers or less most fights. Not to mention Linares is fighting on undercards while Loma got 2 million viewers his last fight. Since when did Andre Berto get to dictate to Mayweather that they have to change the date or the network?

HBO is willing to pay MORE than ESPN! Gomez and Oscar said so. Bob's reply was ESPN has a bigger audience. He never denied that HBO is willing to pay MORE than ESPN! Why would the champ leave HBO to fight the challenger on ESPN for LESS money?

I agree. Manny just seems to have no clue as to what's going on or maybe he feels disrespected by Bob's tactic to throw him on the undercard but use his name to sell that garbage PPV. Either way I'm praying he leaves Bob hanging

This old piece of horse **** gotta go already

Either a unification with either Garcia or Easter.

If Linares wants Garcia, all he has to do is ask for a purse bid.

Easter is not realistic. No upside for Haymon to make that fight.

Why would the champ leave HBO to fight the challenger on ESPN for LESS money?

Because if he doesn't, the champ will keep fighting for 250k while the challenger keeps fighting for $1,000,000.

That's it!

Loma needs to tell his buddies in Russia to give bob "3 lumps" of Sugar with a side helping of a pillow!

Supported Arum for awhile now but I'm tired of this sh!+!

Loma wants to face best prime opponents and you keep giving him inactive ancient midgets juiced up punching bags!

I feel Linares and Loma needs to DEMAND that both sides be more lenient especially Linares!

Linares been fighting UK cupcakes ducking the guy Mikey destroyed and refusing the purse bid against Mikey!

Don't see how Loma will fight other champs if Bob can't get him Linares! SMFH

arum was watching Loma from amateurs for a long time. he got him signed with a fat check, no one knows how much he paid Loma to get under his network. Crazy money and he got him an expensive car right from the the airport. Arum saw
a golden nugget from mile away. Loma is getting paid trust me
