Teofimo Lopez: Stop Low Balling Me or No Fight

[KTFOKING]

It’s a sh**ty situation because I feel if this fight doesn’t happen next then it will probably never happen as Teofimo will likely be moving to 140 and I doubt Loma ever fights above 135.

That's my worry as well. Like the fight needs to happen NOW. Lopez may only be able to make 135 one more time and he's been working out for weeks getting ready for the fight. They were even talking about changing their location to train at altitude for the fight. So I'm still hopeful it happens. Both sides want it and now there is some public pressure on Bob to make it happen. Even his other young star fighter Stevenson is calling it a low ball.

This appears to be the classic “whole is better than the sum of the parts” fight where the animosity between the 2 and the clash of styles and nationalities is what is drawing fans.

In that regard, Lopez should get more than the approximate 75/25 split we are seeing reported.

60/40 -63/37 giving Loma the bigger number as the multiple belt holder and lineal champ seems about right.

I agree with your first paragraph, well put. The actual fight is big and will have solid amount of hype around it.

I wouldn't look at what Lomachenko is making here. If Lopez wants 2M, then he needs to try to get that amount.

so all the loud words and tough acts towards Loma, from Teo family, just to prove everyone that Lopez jr is a Duck! very well done

If the fight is on ESPN as arum suggests then you have to look at what Loma is getting.

If Loma is getting the same he was guaranteed when it was a ppv, it isn’t surprising that Lopez sees that and wants the same thing he was guaranteed.

This is a 50/50 fight, money wise. Lopez is the excitement. If Lomachenko is guaranteed that much, good for him. They should find the same amount for Lopez. Fight won't happen for anything much less than that amount. 75/25 is laughable. I wouldn't even agree to 60/40, if I were Lopez.

Screw Top Rank.

2020 is about to be over, we still dont hear a word from Davis, that he is willing to fight Loma. will you stick to your words though?

[brettWall]

Just cancel the damn fight.

I don't want to see a fight with a reluctant fighter in it. I always thought he wanted to beat Loma badly. He's looking like he's scared now.

Give the offer to someone else.

But Lomachenko is getting this guarantee regardless if it is on PPV or regular ESPN or ESPN+ or against Crolla. Like that is his deal with TR. Crawford has a similar minimum.

This clown is a disgrace. Looking for every excuse to duck this fight.

When this fight was first brought up after teo was barking for it I knew he would try to get out of it. He was already acting wishy-washy
