Teofimo Lopez Sr. On the Negotiations: Lomachenko Must Give Us More Money!

[R-Hand Southpaw]

I know. At this moment, I so badly want Lomachenko to punish this kid, like he said. For every dumb ass word said and every idiotic action took to ride his coattails to a fight with him. I do want him to have that chance to look into the sons face and the father's face.

They should make a deal that if he beats Lomachenko, then he gets the two million. Maybe that would work

Ain't gonna lie that actually might work! Great incentive if Teo truly thinks he can win.

A motivated lomachenko isn't someone you want to face because hes coming to humilate you.

He said the exact same thing to Rigo and look how that one turned out. Rigo was literally semi-retired because of that and he was actually at the time a top 10p4p guy.

This is the calm before the storm. Personally I think Teo isn't as big as a puncher as people make him out to be and that Lomachenko will expose his poor defense.

Come on! Make the fight!

Yeah! I completely agree. Lopez jr.'s punching power is over-rated. I mean, he has punching power, absolutely. But it's more about his good timing. What I always say is that his second round punch is as strong as Robert Easter Jr.'s 12th round punch.

Loma need to be paid two million less? Lol he wants his son to make Lomas purse and Loma to make 1.2, he must be insane in the head.

This is why boxing is a bit irritating to be honest, I don’t mind clout chasing if you actually proceed with the fight. But clout chasing then wanting more money than the main guy is nuts. If you are going to clout chase then say “With the biggest money on offer” I would take the fight. Don’t use the guys name and claim he would duck you etc, then get offered your highest payday in a pandemic then cry about the need to feed your family. The funniest bit is this, when this fight gets made for let’s say 1.5Ms, the usual posters would be on here celebrating like “See!!! We told you that he would get more if he holds out for more, and it’s just negotiating and how he deserves to get his worth”

This is an interview that was given yesterday. It's in Spanish, so some of you will not be able to understand what he's saying.

But to sum it up, he talks about his son, how he did Tae Kwon Doe and then went into boxing. Then they ask him about the negotiations. He says that the negotiations are complicated. But he says that Lomachenko is getting paid too much for this fight and that Lomachenko needs to be paid two million dollars less than what he is presently being paid, meaning that those freed two million should be allocated to his son. Then his son would be getting paid what he's worth and Lomachenko would be getting paid what he's worth.

The audacity is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Lomachenko is already taking a pay cut, and Teofimo is getting paid more than twice what he's ever been paid.

I can't make this **** up. I swear.

P.S. He says the fight is still going to happen, and that his son is going to knock out Lomachenko within five rounds.

Bueno. Creo saber cuál es el problema con el viejo Teófimo López y el chico. Ambos quieren que Lomachenko reduzca aún más sus $3,25 millones. Quieren que les des más dinero de tu bolsillo porque creen que no vale la pena. La audacia de estos dos es increíble. Ambos son mariquitas y necesitan luchar ahora por no más de $1,2 millones, si no un poco más. Estoy en serio. Esto se está volviendo ridículo y si siguen hablando de esta manera, van a parecer tontos y cobardes para el resto del mundo.

If Loma gets 2 million less and his son gets 2 million more then Loma gets 1.5 million and his son gets 3.75 million. The guy is ****** and greedy and his son has a fair offer on the table now at 1.25 million.

Unreal. Tell ya what Teo, let's make this a winner takes all fight. It will be one of the most talked about bouts of the year. Put your money where your mouth is. Aw man I wish Lomachenko would propose this. WINNER TAKE ALL.
Loma will train so smart and be so dedicated, Teo is liable to be quite embarrassed. Even if he makes the fight competitive, but walks away empty handed, he becomes a lasting meme....

LOL this kid and his dad are a JOKE. Get the F outta here. BIGGEST DUCK OF THE PAST 5 YEARS

Loma must give us more money? Loma is not going to give him money. Lopez is being offered more money than any previous Loma opponent. If Lopez does not accept then Loma will just fight another top lightweight and Loma still gets the same money. Lopez will have to fight someone else for whatever Arum wants to pay him or not fight at all. Lopez is not in a position to make demands. He must take the fights Arum gives him for what Arum will pay him or not fight at all. He could try to go with someone else but breaking an Arum contract is very hard and costly.

Yeah. He want's Loma to take a $2,000,000.00 pay cut, to free up that money for his son. That guy is back on that power & baking soda.

[boogbx]

He didn’t say Loma needs to make 2 mil less? Estás sordo?

He said they ain’t cool with Lopez making 2 mil less for an undisputed fight. Makes sense, it’s more than a 55% cut for the biggest fight in boxing.

He mentions Campbell made more as a mandatory and while you can argue it’s greed from the Lopez camp, the real greed is coming from Top Rank with the lowball.
