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

[MeanestNiceGuy]

On the flip side I hope boxing fans step up and support those who made the fight.

You complain about big fights not being made. Then you complain about them being on PPV and stream it illegally. Then you complain about them being on cable and steam it illegally. Then you complain about them being on streaming services and install an ad blocker.

You either step up and support the fights you want to see or eventually they will stop being made altogether. Especially with live gates out of the equation.

Green K coming your way for reminding the people of their actions and non-actions! Couldn't have said it better myself!

Its been reported multiple timesby multiple outlets that Lomachenko took an additional pay cut to make this happen so who is lying to who?

You're the one who’s lying.

Lomachenko took a reduced purse to relieved the company and make this fight. His contractual guarantee is more than 3.5 million.

^^^This is a lie meaning that it’s not true. You even posted the quote from arum proving that it was a lie. Loma’s contract guarantee is not more than $3.5m. His contract guarantee is not even $3.2m because arum said that the $3.2m he’ll get for this lopez fight is more than his contract guarantee. Loma didn’t “gift” sht.

That loma juice is seeping into your brain.

Why don't you go and find me some sources?

Lomachenko will be paid approximately $3.25 million to oppose Lopez, who will earn roughly $1.5 million."

Coppinger explained Lopez's manager, David McWater, negotiated with Top Rank "for weeks" when the fighter did not accept an initial offer of $1.25 million. He could make $1.5 million now after Lomachenko agreed to a reduced purse of $3.25 million from $3.5 million."

"He is voluntarily under these circumstances reduced his (own) purse in order to get the fight done.”

"When asked if 3.5 million was a good estimate from Lomachenkos paycheck Arum answered with "thats not too far from the truth, although that's confidential".

"As far as Lomachebko is concerned he has a contract with us. A long term for substantial numbers based on the level of fights"

Thats 4 sources Goldie.

Now its your turn big boy. Put your money where you mouth is.

And no.

Arum has said Lomachenko volunteeringly took a pay cut as proven by the post above this one.

Lmfao. You really can't fix ****** can you?

Unlike you im looking at sources and not playing pretend.

Watch you ****ing fail. Can't wait.

The lie that you’re telling is that loma’s contract guarantee/minimum is over $3.2m.

As far as him supposedly reducing his purse, that’s not a “gift”. He’s doing it to make the fight. The initial $3.5m payout that he first agreed to was a reduced number based on what he and his team expected to make before pandemic changed the scene. You’re painting it like the $3.5m was below his minim and then he reduced his purse even more to do lopez a favor.

No, Arum initially gave loma a very favorable split with the initial deal and lopez ejected it. Now some reports say that loma was forced to agree to a reduced number in order for Lopez’s number to be increased to get the fight done, but
I’ve seen at least one other report say that ESPN came up with the extra bread and loma’s purse was unchanged. Either way, loma isn’t “gifting” lopez anything. Even if the scenario of him taking less so lopez can get more is the truth, it’s not a gift. Loma and arum/top rank need this fight too. If the fight was to get scrapped, they lose too.

No you can’t fix your kind of ******. You’re a special brand of dummy.

This idiot clearly can’t read.

Arum acknowledged that Lomachenko and Lopez accepted lower purses for their bout than they expected to make before the coronavirus crisis changed boxing’s economic model. Top Rank’s founder pointed out, though, that the Ukrainian southpaw and the Brooklyn-based knockout artist still will receive more money than the minimum purses to which they’re contractually entitled.

Read the part in italics carefully. Better yet, get someone with an iq above room temp to read it to you then explain what it means.

Arum didn’t say that Loma took a “pay cut”. He said he took a reduced purse based on what he expected to make before covid. He said the same for lopez. You’re an idiot who can’t read.

quote straight from Arum


"He is voluntarily under these circumstances reduced his (own) purse in order to get the fight done.”

That was after the initial deal which was 3.5 and 1.2

The numbers release for this fight is 4.7

So not only can't you read but apparently you can't ficking do basic math either.

I literally posted these links and you supposedly read them but all it showed me was you cant ****ing read.

People like you. No ****ing shame. How do you do it?

[baroidi]

this is a good fight for both fighters, if Lomachenko wins, he beat an up and comer and secures his place as top dog of his division. If Lopez wins, he becomes a star instantly. If he loses, he lost to the top dog and he can easily rebuild his career when he moves up. Young fighters taking a loss is not the end of the road.

Come on Goldie.

Seriously. Do you not even look at sources when you look for information?

I bet that you just listen to your friends and pretend what they say is the truth. That way its you against the world.

Oh wait. That already is you and you only care about your own. You only listen to your own.

You seriously can't Google simple **** like this? Is that really too hard for you?

Show me some sources to back up what you're saying. There will be dates on the articles and that way things cant be taken out of context.

Come on. Let's go. This is easy.
