Comments Thread For: Arum: Lomachenko-Lopez Could Air On ESPN, Not Necessarily Pay-Per-View

Let's hope so...And what's with all the other upcoming PPV's?? $$$

This is a big load of bulls**t from Arum. There is absolutely, positively zero chance that greedy fill in the blank bastard puts this on regular ESPN. He's just doing his usual routine of saying something like this to create some publicity for the fight. Not even sure this fight comes off this year. Why hasn't it been signed yet?

Well, looks like they are getting close. Lomachenko's manager said their side has agreed to the terms.

Even though this fight is a great match up, regular ESPN is the only way to go. Loma is not a PPV draw and Lopez might be one day, but he's not there yet. A big win for Lopez against Loma will put him on the right track to be a PPV draw but at this particular moment I don't see this fight selling more than maybe 150k, 200k on PPV. That being said 200k at $75 bucks might be more than enough to pay their purses, so we will see what happens.

Loma isn’t a ppv fighter despite the fan-media great hype campaign.

Lopez is a fun fighter to watch but that's it, no more... He is not skilled enough to be in the ring with Lomachenko and is going to be completely outclassed. Therefore, agree it's not a PPP fight, too predictable.

So far I'm buying every boxing ppv announced except for Tyson/Jones

It’s a PPV fight, but given the abysmal ratings Arum and Top
rank have gotten, let alone fights us 500,000 strong Fans deserve more.

Every card has been trash plain and simple. A few entertaining fights but if I just want to be entertained I’ll watch rocky movies. Fight fans want to be engaged to the fights shown, can’t get that with mismatches.

no excuses in this fight!! If Lopez wins, Lomachenko isn't "old" and if Lomachenko wins, Lopez isn't too young. No mf excuses from anyone

Loma hasn’t “completely outclassed” anyone since he started fighting guys his size or slightly bigger. Teo might not be as skilled as loma because he’s still young and green, but he’s slightly bigger with an inch or so in height and about 3.5 in reach. He also may have more power. Loma deserves to be a favorite but it’s definitely an interesting fight that should happen.

No worries,
Lomachenko gonna make him quit. He is gonna teach him a lesson, like he did to Walters and Rigo and a few others.
