Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: ESPN Stepped Up To Keep Lomachenko-Lopez Off Pay-Per-View

[JLC]

I think how you

Might as well get as much when your career is going to be ended Oct 17th right?

Yea. If the plan was to fight him anyway, why not get an extra 250k. Kind of the point of being a pro boxer right ? Fighting the best and getting paid.

How will Loma keep the bigger/stronger Teo pressure off him? Loma's punch output will not keep Teo from pressuring, landing the bigger KO type punches off of Loma...IMO...

Within 2-3 rounds, it will be Teofimo backing up. He will not be able to adjust with the angles and will retreat constantly to reset.

The plan was always to fight Lomachenko to get rich.

Lopez dad is on record saying such. They initially didn't want the fight because they would be receiving less than half what the were slated to make and were willing to kill the fight completely.

Thank the public for humiliating some sense into them. Thank Lomachenko for gifting Lopez 250k for if he didnt this fight would be dead in the water.

And the point of being a pro boxer? I think thats changed. Too many of these guys don't want to prove they're the best, they just want to be able to say they are without doing much.

Don’t think you can class a guy that won a legit title in his 15th fight, and in his 16th is fighting a top 3 P4P guy for all the marbles as someone not doing much.

How dare his dad want his son to get rich fighting Lomachenko ! The nerve of him !

Really, where is the shame in that ? He’s fighting one of the best fighters on the planet. Teo himself is a hot commodity. This is like when people suggested Pacquaio should have just taken the 50 mil flat fee to fight Floyd. That’s just idiotic !

When the market is hot, this fight is worth a lot more. It’s just common sense for Lopez to think about that.

“Today this fight is worth 1.25 million to me. 6 months ago they were talking about 3 million (I’m making up a number). Damn ! What can I do to get that 3 million now ? Can I wait til maybe we have fans again ? F*** it. I will wait til we have fans so I can get all the money. “

That is super rational to me. The mfer been calling for the fight forever. Loma had no interest until he got a belt. He has one now. This is not a scared fighter who just wants to talk crap. But this is also not a fighter who cares 0 about money and fights only for glory. Yes, you can have a fighter who wants to get paid well, but also is not a coward and still wants to prove he’s the best. Those type of people do exist in boxing, as hard as that is to believe. See Oscar De La Hoya for reference.

"I’ve never, in this whole time with the pandemic, asked a fighter to take an amount less than that is in their promotional contract. And what we’re talking about many times, at least in Lopez’s case, is more than we were required to pay under terms of the contract. So, even though they would get less than they anticipated, it’s more than their contracts provide [for minimums].”

-straight from bobs mouth

So who are you going to believe?

So even after you quote Arum proving you wrong you still argue?

Straight from arum’s mouth:

“So, even though they would get less than they anticipated, it’s more than their contracts provide [for minimums].”

You’re easily among the dumbest people that I’ve ever encountered. You’re bumbling fuming idiot lol.

Again. Youre missing the point because youre so hung up one one sentence and dont care about

CONTEXT

LMFAOOO.

Could Lomachenkos contract minimum be 3 million?

YES

Would I still be right? Yep.

Lmfaooooo. Since youre so smart Goldie what is Lomachenkos guarentee?

But you wanna sit here and not give me an answer? Too ****ing funny.

You have ONE quote out of context and its your absolute proof?

Equal or less than 3.5 million

That means

1 to 3.5 million

So 2 dollars is correct and so is 3.49 million dollars

Any number in between means I'm right.

Ah. Excuse me for being the fool for not understanding how LOW IQ you are.

You called me a liar for suggesting that. So who's right?

There’s nothing out of context dumbfk. Out of arum’s own mouth he says that the $3.2m that loma is being paid is more than his contract minimum. That means that his minimum is less than $3.2m. Your ****** a$$ lied and claimed that loma’s guarantee was more than $3.5m.

I don’t give a fk what loma’s guarantee is. I’m just here to clown you for being ****** and a glad faced liar.
