Why is Loma complaining about fighting a guy from Florida in New York?

[alexnation]

Hey guys, Lomachenko also claimed he wants to fight Crawford after Lopez. Of course, I'm not going to provide links to the claim.

Loma has no problem fighting in NYC at all. It's a huge Russian/Ukranian community hub so he will get all the support he needs. I call bs

[ReggieKray]

I don't get it. Sudo hometown or not, Loma can still choose the Judges. Can't he? He's supposed to be the p4p king and the A-side.

From an ESPN interview published January 9, 2020:


ESPN: Where do you want that fight to be?

Teofimo Lopez: New York. It's my home and the mecca of boxing, and I think that's just a great place to have it in, but it ain't really my say. Loma doesn't want to fight in New York, so obviously it'll be probably somewhere else. Probably in the likes of Vegas or Dubai or somewhere in Europe.

They should have it in Kiev or Moscow.

He might be getting cold feet. Probably didn't think Lopez had the power to ko Commey so he's putting up roadblocks.

Man, you guys ever wake up and realize how embarassing you guys are or do you guy truly just simply lack the capacity?

Honest question.

You didn't provide the link about Loma complaints.

I would be interested in the links that reference Lomachenko's concerns. If there are no links, can you let us know how you came about the information? I'm very curious.

While I've never been a cornerman, fought professionally or know every rumor in boxing, I've followed professional boxing for 30+ years and have had the pleasure of knowing and being friends with various fighters, trainers and promoters.

I can’t find it so your thread is ****ing bull****

Some proper non-sense and also incredible pretentious.
If you want to talk about something on a forum while making claims, use proper sources.

You can't expect everyone to go through all interviews and articles, the reasonable thing to do is to link a source.
You also have the reputation to spin stories to fit your agenda.

He's probably referencing what Lopez said about Loma not wanting to fight in NY. So no links to any complaints from Loma, because it's just Teo's opinion.

What's the problem? People were asking for a link and I gave them one.

As for where this started, it started with Lomachenko's manager saying he doesn't want Lomachenko to fight in NY after his fighter got bad scorecards against Conlan.
