Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: I'm The 'A' Side Against Tank Davis, No Matter What Floyd Says

Holy moly! You're a dummy!

Why do you think they cancelled Fury's fight in the UK? Because without ESPN, it would all be down to BT Sport. And with Fury not being a PPV seller as his fights bomb over here and no crowds, they didn't have the money to pay Fury, his opponent and the undercard. Fighters would have laughed at the offers they got from Fury's side to fight him.

Am I really beyond help?

You think AJ giving Fury a 50/50 split is evidence of Fury generating the same kind of money AJ does? No it isn't. AJ just gave the split because he wants that last title that has been kept from him all these years by cowards.

AJ could sell out a stadium twice the size of Wembley and a shlt load on PPV. Fury couldn't sell out a barn and would bomb on PPV like he always does. It's not even close.

That hardly proves your idiotic "10%" line. No offense, but you're ******!

No need for you to try to guess what I think. Instead, read what I wrote.

"A-side and B-side are decided when boxers fight. A-side is the side that gets more money [when they fight]."

I didn't write the A-side makes more money. I wrote the A-side gets more money. Joshua may well generate more revenue than Fury. But if he gets the same amount as Fury for their fight, that means he has the same negotiating power as Fury. Hence, no A-side.

NO...you're NOT! Love Teofimo, reminds me of one of my favorites Hector Camacho (RIP) but Right now Tank is indeed the A side because he Headline and Selling a lot of Tickets and now he is selling PPV's

So Right now yes TANK is A Side but I do think Teofimo on the Verge of Superstardom after that huge win. Tank despite not even a good resume yet is selling a lot of tickets fighting Ricardo Nunez? Gamboa? So how many tickets and PPV Can he sell vs better opponents become the question and the answer is A LOT based on the trajectory he is on. People can ask "Well Who Will Tank Fight Next", well with that Viral K.O. of Leo, it probably doesn't even matter who he fights next and his numbers will go up

[TheUptownKid]

I think teo has the better resume, but tank is the bigger seller and Loma was not a household name anyway. So should teo be the a side? Maybe. But he’s not. He’ll realize what life with bob is all about shortly

You’re black, of course you know about the pipe. Your opinion doesn’t matter.

Put down the pipe

[maguirre]

Doesn't matter who the A side B side is.

Teofimo has to be guaranteed his minimum $5 million. Tell that to Floyd.

Go get your money Teo. Don't settle for less.

Don't forget. $5 million must be on the table no matter what.

But Fury doesn't have that kind of negotiating power. It's only against AJ because he just wants the fight so he's giving him half. Not because Fury is equal. AJ doesn't want another Wilder situation where the fight doesn't happen unless a grotesque amount of money is given to them to fight when they aren't worth it. But here he has. He won't be doing it again though. When AJ has all the belts, no matter who they are, they fight for what they're worth, or they can fight for peanuts against dangerous fighters or bums. That will up to them.

All this means is that Fury has negotiating power for this fight. Negotiating power is not always objective. For example, Salido had negotiating power for a rematch with Loma, even though objectively his revenue generating power was not on par with Loma's. If Joshua is hung up on fighting Fury, that reduces his negotiating power with Fury.
