Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Being Pursued By Saudi Arabia

[boxinggod101]

People that know nothing about Gervonta want to blast him for who and when he fights like he choose them and even if he did that’s smart on his part because he whips ass. Then all these racist comments because believe me the same God whom created them, gave your parents grace by allowing you to be here. As my Michigan big brother Roger would say;

Most People Don’t Know **** About Boxing!

Wrong thread man....

I agree, Vegas fights and Vegas prices are not accessible to me.


Saudi or Vegas, I ain't going.

Vegas is crazy expensive. I go to a Vegas fight once every few years cause I can’t really justify spending like 6 grand in a weekend.

I think ticket prices need to be lowered, I was at both Canelo-GGG fights and the arena wasn’t even full cause they’re trying to charge 3-500 dollars for the nosebleeds. As I said boxing needs to be accessible for the fans.

I will not buy this until it is signed. I feel this one makes more money on PPV in prime time for the media markets boxing is big in than at an early afternoon start in Saudi.

Curious to our over the pond users: Does the UK or Europe pay attention to a fight like this when the start time is in the 7 PM time slot in the US? Seems like it would be too late to watch over there.

Lopez and Loma have both drawn well in NYC so I figured the fight would be in MSG.

If Saudi Arabia offers a far check bob is going to take it.

500 pm ppv will not sell as well as a prime time one but I’m sure the Saudi money will offset the gap.

[MDPopescu]

Nothing quite like sitting down to that 2pm start time and watching the big fights.

Don't worry, it's happening at MSG on PPV.

If the Saudi's laying out eight figures takes the fight off of PPV, i'm all for it.

... People here would have complained about "Rumble in the Jungle" as well -- because it wasn't on Fox or Showtime...

Scum Arum really needs that oil money to afford Kell Brook as CrawLobster's next opponent LMAO

It's levels to this ****!!!!! Lopez is a great fighter, it's just not his time yet. He has yet to get punched in the mouth, solid. Not to be a critical critic, ur whole plan goes out the window ,when you get cracked in the mouth. Lomo does that then some, maybe not the hardest punch, accumalation. Levels beat power.

I'm grateful for whatever boxing I can watch on whatever channel or format (Fox, Showtime, ESPN, ESPN+, DAZN, etc.). However, if I'm being completely honest, yes I would have complained about the Rumble in the Jungle. Probably complaining about a wacky start time and having to go to a movie theatre or something to watch on closed circuit TV broadcast.

I'm a man of rituals and routines and typically busy midday. So I have to delay watching the fight until evening and also have to delay getting any spoilers of the outcome. It's a tough life man. Hahaha.

I think SA is perfect

And for the racists on here calling them rag heads. You're so duplicitous. Saudis are due our respect just as much as any country, culture or race, Arabs. If SA likes boxing then getting the top fight of the year and the P4P best fighter is a huge coup for them. What's the use of having all that money and not being able to enjoy it?

And it's a benefit for boxing fans globally. Get a 6 pm EST start in the U.S. and an earlier, albiet still late, start in the U.K. and Germany, etc.

There are loads of Ukrainians in New York so not sure in Teo transplanting to the state gives him a fan base edge, but SA neutralizes all that. Two guys out of thier element fighting in a neutral land. Let SA become a Mecca of boxing. Good for them.

Boxing fans will watch the fight irregardless of venue. Venue is an afterthought. Yeah, star power in the audience will be lacking but who cares. Just because we don't recognize some billionaire shiek, does not mean it's not star power for them hob nobbing.

See Tank, Loma doesn't need you to draw. ****** PBC opinion on why Loma asked for Tank. Loma draws globally. Loma wants Tank, to shut down that nonscense of his flim flam record. Show who's the king, nip that hyperbolic hype machine in the bud. PBC talk too much and don't back up the talk. Loma said he'd fight Tank for free just to shut down that nonscense. Tank is running from Loma as he did from Farmer and now he will be content milking that lesser belt. PBC talk too much, are disengenuoes.

Loma did 20k at the O2 and now potentially SA. PBC stratagem of old, fighting lambs, leading them to the slaughter, over the hill or lesser competition to pad flim flam records, is on its way out being supplanted by the best fighting the best. You can stay in Atlanta and Baltimore fighting that flim flam, the real money in the future is honorably stepping up to the plate, on the global scene.

I'm not mad at Arabs, I'm mad at people throwing money around, acting like they're going to buy every thing up. We build these fighters, we spend our money making them stars and along comes money bags and takes them away. If they have money like that, make them pay money like that.
