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

[kidbazooka]

Loma has never been a ppv guy and Arum knows it even with Lopez it’s not there though Lopez does have the potential to be a ppv Star if he wins.

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.

Lopez had 2 fights with people that belong in that ring with him. Kudos an no shade to him but his foes weren't close to the shiet Matrix does. Good fight though.

Bobfather, please make up for the many mistakes you have caused.
This is your chance at redemption.

I know people are saying this, but it's not true. Loma sells out arenas on work days. Very few boxers do that. And now with the publicity he has, with his fanbase in the US and UK, as well as Japan and other places, he's a pretty big star. People in the UFC/MMA base all know of him. Loma easily makes a PPV fight, especially this one that's for unification. It's ridiculous to think otherwise (especially if we get other title fights going on the same card). Anyone who says otherwise is not keeping his finger to the pulse of boxing or are simply hating on Lomachenko.

I do believe the fight should be promoted better than it has been. And that might very well change if we finally can get Lopez to sign the dotted line. He's been avoiding that for about a year now. I hope he signs cause it makes him look as if he's nothing but talk. And if he pulls this: "I'm the A side and deserve more money than Lomachenko," like he was doing, saying that he's made this fight big and PPV quality, I think I'm going to finally start tearing into him for being a complete jackass.

Sorry brother but no.

If Loma was a star bob would have been put him on ppv simple as that. Yes he is know well among the hardcores cuz we know/follow every fighter but as far as being able to make a big Ppv he hasn’t Arum is The Godfather of ppv if he felt Loma could do it he would have done it years back already.

Now if he beats Lopez that can make him a much bigger name and might be able to start doing ppvs

Crossing fingers this fight go on Regular ESPN and not PPV.

I am salivating for this fight. I hope God Father Bob Arum gift this fight for us. Four PPV in this time frame and some people don't have the money to pay all four or people invite their friends and divide these expensive cost of the four PPV.

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

neither r Tank Davis or the Charlos ....go figure!

No one has ever started out a PPV guy.

Lol he’s also no spring chicken.

At 33 it’s seems to have passed him by most guys that reach ppv level are doing it by they’re mid to late 20’s.

Neither of those guys are considered p4p top 10 tho. Even with all the overhype loma has gotten the media hasn’t been able to sell the fans on dude. Tank and the Charlos probably get just as much if not more money. Go figure.
