Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Wants Gervonta Davis, Willing To Fight For Free

[Nightfall]

boringchenko doing whatever it takes to duck Teofimo but Tank D. will knock his no power feather fist ass out as well.

[ceylon mooney]

130 would be cool

davis, berchelt, many names. i bet berchelt would do it. any promotional/network conflicts there?

i really doubt mayweather/davis would take that fight. they pre-emptively ducked it a good while ago, then mayweather threatened to make davis fight lomachenko a while back. i dont see it happening.

hey who wouldnt wanta see davis-berchelt? thatd be bad ass.

man arum is an irritating personality.

Here's the truth: it's a great fight hands down.

It's not a ppv fight though - just because they're on different networks & have different promoters means nothing. they're not generating nor earning the kinda money that would warrant a ppv.

Neither Bob nor Floyd want to truly make this fight. Period & They hate each other. There's no way those negotiations go well. Both sides are gonna have ridiculous demands & blame the other side. It's not like Pac vs May where there we're 100s of millions on the table - the type of money that'll make anybody play nice.

At the end of the day Bob and Floyd are running the show regardless of what loma and tank want

Davis counter-offer: you have to give up all the money you already have and all your possessions and be homeless, no source of food, not allowed to train.

[Bronx23]

Managers and promoters hate when their fighters say this kind of stuff. It's like when fighters "bet" their purses lol.

Yup easy way to f-ck yourself in negotiations. The other side can easily use your words against you & low-ball you because you said "the moneys not important"

Golden boy tried it with GGG. Those words will always come back to haunt you

Arum is the worst promoter for boxing by far, ****s over fighters and prevents big fights.

"that don't work because it's PPV, that fights available if the other guy comes down weight, this fights available..... but further down the road"

Can't believe this guys gonna obstruct Loma's goals, wasting his talent and has now got his grubby mits on the HW division as well.

Lol Arum built pretty boy, Crawford, Loma, threw pacman into a ppv star and many more...but he's the worst promoter while Floyd is doing great at TMT right?

“Where do we go from here (for Lomachenko)... There’s (Richard) Commey, the IBF champion, there might be Mikey Garcia if he stays at 135. We’re not going up to 140, and then down the road there’s Teofimo Lopez.” - Bob Arum

Who told me yesterday, that Loma is not chasing Tank?

Why does Miguel Berchelt keep getting overlooked? He's got a title @ 130, and he's co-promoted by Top Rank?

Berchelt: Lomachenko Lost To One Mexican, I Want To Be Second!

"I have shortcomings, all fighters have them, nobody is perfect inside the ring, you do anything to win, you have a strategy and sometimes you have to risk things. Lomachenko is very good, he is one of the best pound for pound, but he was already beaten by a Mexican - and that was Orlando Salido - and I would love to be the second."

Top Rank Prez: Berchelt-Vargas Winner in Line For Lomachenko

Top Rank president Todd duBoef told ESPN that the Vargas vs. Berchelt rematch winner would be in line or a fight with current WBA lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko by the end of the year.

Loma is not getting Tank, nor Mikey, but he can have Berchelt or Teofimo Lopez! Choose one! MAN UP!

Get his wrinkly sack out your mouth I didn't say he's bad at his job I said he's bad for boxing with the stopping/delaying big fights and screwing fighters like Pacquiao, Floyd and DLH.

Plus there's an argument that these guys, with their skill level, would have been big with any promotional outfit with most making most their wealth after they've left anyway.

Don't take away from the fighters.

Think of it this way, Bob has two 130lb. title holders (Berchelt and Ito), and two 135lb. BEASTS (Teofimo Lopez and Richard Commey)! Why would he let Loma fight Tank on a PBC card, when Loma could fight any of those 4 on ESPN? Loma is not in the situation that Crawford is in @ 147!
