Comments Thread For: Hearn: Teofimo Lopez Wants $10 Million For Haney Fight - It's Not Going To Happen, He's Not Even Undisputed

[factsarenice]

Teofimo demanding $10 million vs a live dog means he's done fighting competitive.

There are simply no $10 million dollar fights at light weight.

Unless I'm missing something that only leaves cans for cheap...amirite?

It doesnt matter if he's undisputed or if the world was back to normal they are not going to pay him shyt. If Lopez can get that money he wants by traveling half way across the world then so be it. But these young fighters are scared of losing their 0.

Teofimo either has to come out and say "I never asked for $10 Million," or he has to make $10 Million fighting Kambosos! I don't understand something, if Haney is so feather-fisted, why is everyone so afraid to fight him? Loma went for Teo, Teo is going for Kambosos, Garcia is in the same weight class, and same network, but he don't want it, and Tank is not even fighting LWs yet! Maybe they know something we don't?

Fighters in general, don't fear losing. What they don't want, is to look bad, or made to look a fool. Duran wasn't getting beat to death, when he said, no mas. He couldn't catch Sugar. Tank might KO them and they go out on their shield, they can handle that. Haney gets them laughed off of tv, people will talk about flat feet and face fighting. Fear of shame is just as real as fear of pain.

This $10M demand for a fight seems to be a popular way of pricing themselves out of the fight these days. Thurman wanted if for Bud, Tank from Hearn to fight Farmer, now Teo with the same BS.

Bold was debunked. Long ago.

Haney's belt is the real one, though. Teo should have read the small print.

This is the correct answer, as I posted on here immediately after the fight, with direct references to the WBC ruling. Nobody bothered to read it because everyone keeps falling for what the networks keep saying, which is false.

weird...i remember when teo asked for the 10 mil on camera in front of hearn...i didnt see hearn react disgustingly and say "no...thats too much".... i seem to remember him smiling and saying something like "ok"....

Yup. First reported and shared by me and I saved the video because I knew one of them would back down.

But I think the issue here is the whole Franchise business which the WBC hadn't yet clarified to Hearn's satisfaction.

he's not getting no where near that much from toprank so he priced himself out from the other promoters. the purse bid is way lower so this guy does not want to fight

Those are ***els & gems! SALUTE!

There are so many good fights to be made at light weight. I hope these guys don’t start pricing themselves out so they don’t happen.
