Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostI mean I tend to doubt it got discussed very seriously myself behind the scenes if at all, but it seemed like a makeable fight if Bob legit tried to make it.
But my main point is Bob isn't the guy who's gonna be able to make that sorta fight very often even if he tried to cuz of how he operates & how lowball-ish he is with guys's value or how he wants options if he pays a guy his value. Thats a problem with these name guys specifically PBC/Haymon guys who don't seem to take to wanting to be in long term deals with promoters.
And I do wonder what Mikey's recent fights did in gate revenue. I think he increased his value with a nice clip with the Broner fight, but I'd like to see it in real numbers to get a better idea of it & if its legit.

Also Loma is going to have those odds with most fighters, Campbell is better than Crolla, he blows a little hot and cold, but if he's on I would put him on a similar level to Linares
Campbell is not better than Crolla.
Loma has those odds because he is great but also because he is choosing weak opponents for his last 2 fights. Remember this is a fight Bob engineered (based on the story posted on this site) when he petitioned the WBC on behalf of Loma to be placed in the vacant title fight.
Lopez has a slightly better chance but the difference is American crowd would be more willing to watch that fight than Campbell, who they either don't know and perceive as extremely weak just like Crolla.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 05-16-2019, 07:42 AM.

Loma fought Linares for a belt, Pedrazza for a belt, Crolla was mando, Cambell for a belt. Last two fights were against weak opponents? He is fighting belt holders or for a vacated belt, Mikey's. If you call those weak opponents you know **** about boxing. World champions.Last edited by TarasMarcenko; 04-21-2020, 09:15 AM.
