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

Make them pay. It's like a guy with a hand full of money giving away tens. Help him out. Hit him in the head and take it all. Double or nothing, we know they got the cash and where it came from. High bid isn't good enough for these money bags.

Arum doesn't strike me as the type that would do this. He sticks to the tried and true. Definitely think it will be MSG.

Arum knows the best way to hurt a rich man is in his wallet. What the law won't allow, private vengeance will brook. Arum gots them where he wants them.

If ESPN allows this fight to go to Saudi Arabia then they really don't give a flying **** about boxing. Top Rank having to take their biggest fight to Saudi Arabia isn't a good look.

Arum is just lying to see who would fall for it. Never trust Bob.

As somebody else already wrote, this fight isn't even that big of a fight in North America. It definitely isn't PPV worthy, either, even if it was held in the US.

It'd be a good ESPN main event. But Arum doesn't have the big bucks these boxers would expect. It's a losing match up for Arum, unless ESPN chips in to pay the fighters.

I don't believe the Saudi thing.

This is gonna be a great fight! Let Saudi Arabia keep payin site fees like that... that sh/t won’t do nothing but keep it off PPV in the states. The early fight times do kind of take some of the luster off but I damn sure don’t want this going to PPV. Can’t wait 😊

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

Ha. Yep. I’ve always liked a good matinee out of the UK or Germany. Heck I threw the keys to my gf and had my brother pick me up at the lake just so I could catch Wlad v Byrd II. We all live in different time zones, and I think we all want the Biggest fights during our own prime time. I’d rather see one fighter in his hometown with fans going nuts than sum neutral ground. Saudi paying through the nose to get a huge boxing match is part of what boxing is. I’m still waiting for that barge towed into international waters. But yeah, everything in moderation.

Loma is whooping dat azz no matter where that stuff goes down... Clinical azzz whooping...

[Corelone]

Heck of a fight on paper, the site, SA, doesn't thrill me. Just the same, any time somebody shows up throwing money around, you're supposed to vacuum it up.

Huge props to Loma too. He’s taking on a total athletically prime fighter who’s taken ZERO damage. Leonard Hearns they were 22-23.
