Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Manager Discusses The Jorge Linares Situation

[observer]

HBO really rather re-broadcast GGG vs Canelo 1 over having Loma vs Linares???? Get your ****ing priorities straight!!!!

Loma vs Linares would not be on HBO. Arum has Loma fighting on ESPN. HBO would have Loma live fight together with GGG-Canelo re-run, but Arum isn't putting the fight on HBO (maybe he's locked in with ESPN, I don't know).

I am to the point I almost don't care. Just decide. Enough. If Beltran is the best Loma can do in MSG, that is a Top Rank problem. Just sign it and we will all move on. Linares is the true loser in this scenario. This is a big fight for him. Lomachenko will just dust Beltran and move on with his career, his name at the top of a ton of P4P lists and increasing his pay scale. Linares will not get as much for a Garcia fight, and that is not a sure thing anyways.

Not shocked at all

Wave Linares with every intent to fight Beltran in house whos a old fighter and who is probably the weakest belt ( controlled by Arum ) holder in the division who maybe didn’t even deserve the decision

Top Rank doing what they do best

Loma should rebase in England, announce 'I speak English, I learn it from a book' (cong**** if you know the source of that phrase), and he'll be filling stadiums in no time. Then the money will be there that, like Joshua, they'll be lining up instead of running the other way.

Beltran, what a surprise? Didn't see that one coming!

Beltran, what a surprise? Didn't see that one coming!

Me neither???

Beltron WBO Champ??? Check

Does Bob Arum own the WBO?? Check

Beltron promoted by Top Skank?? Check

Bob Arum name dropping like always??? Check

Bob Arum DEMANDING everything like time, date, location, channel?? Check

I like you saw this MILES away.

[Shadoww702]

Hey Dummy HBO offer to double the money ESPN offered to Lomachenko and Top Swamp to air the fight, now i ask you how is HBO's fault?

You are CORRECT!!! HBO offered way more. Which is more $$$$ for BOTH fighters. Bob turned it down in seconds. Funny how he already had the location and date set but not the fighters??? Which is BS! Because it was always Beltron.

That's the Top Rank way of building up Loma, Loma has been facing the weakest champ of each division he won a belt in. He faced an unproven Russell Jr. for a 126 vacant belt , who was fighting TBAs most of his career. He then faced the weakest champ at 130 in Rocky Martinez, who didn't deserve that belt. And now he'll face the weakest champ at 135 in Beltran. Notice that Arum fighters always fight for the WBO belt, which seems to always have the weakest champ.

Promoters always have a location and date set for a fight. You think arenas are just sitting there waiting for promoters to call them to book it. Not sure if you noticed but arenas host other events other than boxing. We could argue that Showtime was offering more money for a Kovalev/Stevenson fight and Duva backed out, yet people blame Stevenson like your blaming Arum

[filup79]

Your a real dummie aren't u Bob new all along hbo and golden boy couldn't fight on that date,Linares is the champ he's not going to stab himself and then promoter in their back..Mikey Garcia calls out fighters but doesn't sign them contract just 2 trick the fans,Mikey is such a cherry picker

Only person getting screwed here is Linares, and that's by his own promoter Oscar. Linares missed out on 2 pay days with Mikey and Loma because Oscar thinks he could dictate terms as if Linares was Canelo. Linares is a nobody and GB knows it, there's a reason why GB is paying him 250k to fight in empty arenas that he can't sell. There's a reason GB send Linares overseas to fight on other promoters cards, because they will pay him more than GB can. Linares, his lead promoter Mr. Honda and Arum were all on board to fight that date, only person who has a problem is Oscar. Yet Oscar had no problem when Linares fought Crolla on Showtime, a fight he didn't promote.
