    Callum Smith deserves less than 12% of the split?

    Canelo should just fight himself. Then he could get that 100-0 purse split he’s been craving.

      It's dirty the way Arum is playing Lopez. Teo shouldn't take a dollar less than Lomachenko. It's as 50/50 as it gets here.

      Pay the man.

        So you're saying Callum Smith shouldn't come down down, but Teofimo Lopez should?

          What exactly are they asking for? I do think the Teo offer was low, at least give a guy coming in with a belt 1.5M as Loma is making over 3M. I think they are about even in drawing power as neither is really that popular, but Loma is more accomplished.

          I haven't paid too much attention to the Canelo vs Smith situation

            I think 30% is fine for Lopez, I don’t have a problem with that split.

            But if he gets more money out of it by pulling this, he’s smart.

            This just seems like the fifth excuse to not fight Lomachenko so I think he might be trying to duck.

            I don’t see how Callum Smith could accept a split that’s less favorable for him than 88-12 but that’s just me.

              Callum Smith wants $6 million.

              Teofimo wants more than the $1.2 million he was offered. Not sure of the exact figure he is asking for.

                Teo should insist on 50/50 or no fight. He shouldn't let Top Rank rip him off.

                  Why does he deserve a 50-50 split?

                    Why does Smith deserve 14% of whatever Canelo earned for himself?
