    Arum puts Lopez on blast

    He did a interview with thaboxingvoice and says he shocked Lopez is making it seem like Loma has anything to due with this fight not happening. Saying Loma wants money or something. He said he was gonna announce Loma vs Lopez a week before the virus hit, the fight would have taken place in NY. He said Loma already has a contract with how much he gets from them and that's it. Laughs at the idea that Lopez said that Loma doesn't want the fight because its in NY. Says Loma loves to fight at the garden.

    "I dont know what the hell Lopez is talking about, hes a great kid but sometimes he talks without knowing"

    Hes also trying to say he wont fight Loma if theirs no crowd? Hes trying to weasel his way out?

    Idk why Teo cares if there is a crowd or not. Strange environment obviously but he's still getting paid plus mfers would be watching from home anyway.

    That said it was silly to even bring up that angle up or comment that it was a deal breaker for him cuz it's unlikely that any promoter or venue would wanna put on such a interesting fight without a crowd so he coulda just passed that buck onto the promoter/venue instead of making himself look bad.

      I’d call it backpedaling , sooner than I thought
      Funny how these guys speak or say chit and they actually fugh themselves over
      A pr guy is what all these young guys need , desperately

      Funny how no Loma haters have shown their faces
      Loma scared , Loma hiding , Loma gonna get ktfo
      Funny chit , even the Loma haters are fughin green ffs

        All this shows is if this fight fell through somehow he was trying to plant seeds like it was Loma and not him cause he knows theirs a certain fan base that hates Loma and twist the narrative.

        Arum exposed all that non sense he spoke so no more excuses.

          I don't blame him for not fighting if there is no crowd.

          That would suck all the energy out of it.

              Its not only about crowds, Teo making a big deal about why this fight is hard to make because the money or Loma doesn't want to fight in NY when Arum just called out his BS saying that's false.

                I don't trust anything Arum says.

                If Teofimo Lopez claims he was told Lomachenko didn't want to fight in NYC then I'm fairly certain someone told him exactly that.

                  Seriously, I think Lomachenko is gonna whoop this kid real bad, but why the f/ck would anyone wanna fight with no crowd? That has to be distracting as f/ck. I don’t blame Lopez for not wanting to fight without a crowd. It’s none of their fault, covid 19 got everything f/cked up. A lot of businesses are f/cked up right now. So everyone should stop pointing fingers, you know damn well the pandemic got everything f/cked. It’s neither Lopez, Lomachenko or Arum’s doing. Everything is f/cked up.

                    I trust teo more than arum lol. The crowd might have something to do with his gate money as well.
