The Part About Loma-Teo Nobody Is Talking About

[koolkc107]

Raise it to 2 million and offer him is what I'd say. That should be enough. If he rejects 2 mil then he doesn't want the fight.

Arum should just gamble on it. Eff it if it's a loss, the fight is in house anyway

2 million is consistent with all the numbers.

If Teo was offered 2 million to 3.25 million for Loma, that would be near the 40% the numbers say he deserves here.

Teo would have no legit argument to turn it down.

While we all talk about if Teo is right about the lowball or whether he should take the money anyway even if he thinks it's low...let's also not forget to talk about the elephant in the room.

Top Rank has to have extra cash in hand from the budget ESPN had for this year. They had months where no purses or venues were paid because there were no fights.

So, why is Arum only offering Lopez 1.2 million?

Could it be that Bob really doesn't want this fight to happen during a time he can't sell ppvs or tickets to an arena?

The point is, we've seen this dog and pony show before.

So, we just might want to include others in our list of folks to blame, not just Teo if you absolutely need a scapegoat.

I don't need a scapegoat. I don't know about elephants in the room. I would like to see the fight but if Lopez curs out there are other boxers just as good as Lopez who will gladly fight Loma for only 1.2 million which is a lot of money and fair pay for Lopez. Lopez begged, screamed for and demanded to fight Loma. All he needs to do is sign the contract. If he doesn't he is just a big talker unwilling to back it up in the ring.

huh, if teo makes 2 mil hes getting 45% of the cut, u think he deserves 45% in this fight?

oh yes it is close to 40% with the higher figure in it, seems high tho for him at his stage

After so many excuses , now this about money
If he fights a lesser opponent he’s guaranteed to make less money
How would he justify that considering he’s stating 1.2 million is not enough to feed his family ?
Sometimes these guys should think before talking
He’s only shooting himself in the foot

Actually, if Teo gets 2 million while Loma gets 3.25 million, that a little over 38% for Lopez, which is fair.

It's nowhere near 45%.

If Linares got a 45% split and Pedraza got 33%, then 38% is a figure that would leave little or no room for Teo to complain about.

He'd basically lose any logical argument.

isnt teo already making more than pedraza on 1.2 mil at the moment tho?

teo making more than linares too

Simple - If Teo ends up getting more money, he will be seen as a smart negotiator. If Teo gets what he is being offered, then at least he tried. If he ends up blowing the negotiations, he will be seen as a fool.

Let me try an analogy.

You are a realtor.

You and realtor A sell a house for 750K. You are the main reason the house got sold but you needed the help. You get 450K and realtor A has no problem with that.

You and realtor B sell a house for 5 million. Realtor B is senior to you and has more experience, but it took both of you to get the job done. Realtor B offers you 1 million of the 5 million.

What do you say?

Yes, you are right

But this guy is so heavily reliant on percentages because his argument falls down with every other criteria. It’s up to him to justify using percentages like that, but so far, he hasn’t
