Is Teo Ducking?

[brick wall]

i don't think he's ducking but he wants to get paid more than what he's worth. there's a big question mark in his head about losing the fight so he wants to make more than what he deserves. it's like a semi-cashout for a very young fighter

[Ogecca MaMa]

Teofemale will ask 100mil, just like Wilder did. its fair!

I don't often laugh at calling fighters names, a lot are seriously lame but that one got me good.

He will back out of the fight than make $300,000 in his next fight or maybe less

Just like those bums bjs and Callum Smith

Linares got 1 million to 1.2 million for Loma.
Pedraza got 1 million to 2 million for Loma.

Now Loma gets 3.25 million and Lopez as the other champion is offered 1.2 million? When he is a bigger attraction than the first two and is undefeated?

That's not a duck, that's a guy refusing to be insulted.

A more even split is in order.

It's a duck. I would predict Lopez would lose at 140 as his only advantage, his size and power is completely negated at the higher weight and becomes irrelivant in 3 years.

[Beercules]

He needs to take the fight



Talking too much, says he can't wait to woop Loma, well the offer is on the table...

[Scopedog]

I don't know if "duck" is the right word because I don't think that he outright doesn't want to fight at all. It does seem like a grift though, I don't think what he was offered sounds all that unreasonable when you think about the times we're living in. I do still want this fight to go ahead so if that means tossing him another couple of hundred K then so be it I guess, but this is one of those things that's hard to respect. If it does actually end up happening I'll root for Loma harder because of this.
