Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Linares: Arum Still Hopes To Get Fight Done

[Mammoth]

Linares gets stripped of what belt if he waits out Loma and doesn't fight Mikey? That fake diamond belt or something, right?

[BLASTER1]

Ha Arum still talking ****. If he really wanted the Linaires fight he could make it happen. He is just trying to make it look like he tried when all along we get Beltran. Why? Maybe cause Loma is asking for Linaires and Bob wants to look like he has tried his best.

[Removed Now]

ESPN is in more households. If they are trying to make him an star thats an smart move. However skills are 50% of the battle he needs an personality.

Yea that's what I'm expecting too

Linares vs Lomo or bust.Bob shut the *** up

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Can't they play the rematch late and have Loma-Linares at like 8 or 9? This seems pretty ****** really.

It does seem pretty ridiculous but at this point pride and ego are on the line, no one wants to concede.

I get that, but damn. Moving a live fight over involving one of the best in the business for a damn replay??

[MisanthropicNY]

Again, there is no reason why Arum is fixated on that May 12th date other than to obstruct the best fights from being made for his own petty self-interest. The guy is rich - he doesn't care about making less money as long as he gets his way.

[Shadoww702]

Same here, but all the signs are pointing towards Loma-Beltran on May 12.

Which signs are those???

Top Rank is Beltran's promotor??
Beltrin has Top Ranks FAVORITE WBO Belt???

Its not just about the replay its also because gbp has an exclusive deal with HBO which let's them pick the fight(likely smith vs ali) that will air live as part of the replay,so why can't bob have loma fight the actual champ on HBO for way more$$$ instead?? unless your full of sh about wanting linares & are maneuvering to your next excuse to face in house cherry paper champ beltran there's no reason to negotiate the way arum is doing.

Arum scheduled the arena from day 1 to face beltran,so why believe hes serious about linares when hes adamant every loma opponent has to choose espn & less $$,thats the ******est sh imaginable when espn is one of the brokest networks for boxing, imagine Crawford's career opportunities in ww division if thats his stance.
