Is Hearn right that Lomachenko vs Crolla didn't sell tickets?

[satiev1]

That's why we need Lopez and Davis to spruce up that stale resume and create a buzz, even in a losing effort.

No one knows who lopez is.

He's probably right. Lomachenko is not an attraction and no one in US knows who Crolla is plus he's a massive underdog.

No one knows who lopez is.

Loma isn't that mainstream in North America either. I know two things: One, Lopez-Loma would be sold out quick in NY, unlike this mismatch. Two, the odds wouldn't be so wide, at all. Maybe like 3-1 for Loma. Competitive fights sell well.

I got Lopez in this one.

It's too bad Gervonta Davis' team wants no part of Lomachenko right now.

It can't happen right now anyway. The earliest would be next year and, with the current boxing climate where mismatches are the norm, the fans' demands will grow louder and louder. I've no doubt this fight will happen next year, if both fighters continue winning.

Lopez for Loma's next fight would be great, tho.
