A free belt for Loma against an unheralded opponent...

Campbell wants more money? isn't purse split already set by WBC rules?

Oh man Campbell is far from un heralded. He’s one of the top guys. Lomachenko May be in a league of his own, but Campbell held his own against Lincare’s just fine. It’ll likely be a more Competitive fight than
Corolla.

Really the fighters I wanna see have a go at him are Teofimo Lopez and Miguel berchelt. But Lopez’s gotta wait his turn. At least he’s one of the few US-promoted fighters that his people match against the very best available. Boxing needs

Of that.

So Campbell is the hold up. Interesting

Only for a purse bid. This is a vacant title so I think it would be 50/50.

Purse-bid is good for Loma, even 50-50, I tell you. Otherwise Arum split $$ with Hearn android Loma gets 2 mil only out if it instead if 10$.

I actually like this fight. Breadman has being saying that Campbell would give Loma a hard time cause of his style for the longest so I'm actually looking forward to seeing if he's right (which he usually is).

Lomachicken & Campbell soups!
