Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez-George Kambosos: IBF Purse Bid Ordered For February 18

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoters for Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr. have reached an impasse. Their inability to reach a financial agreement for that mandated lightweight title fight led the IBF to order a purse bid Monday. Bob Arum's Top Rank Inc. (Lopez), DiBella Entertainment (Kambosos) or any other promoter can bid for the right to put on a Lopez-Kambosos bout during a virtual purse bid that has been scheduled for February 18.

The only thing great about this fight is it will be an arrogant sht talking fest between them. Kambosos will be hooting and hollering till Lopez crushes him.

“All I’m saying is Teofimo-Kambosos is not one of the marquee, great fights that are gonna be shown this spring or this summer,” Arum told BoxingScene.com on Monday. “It’s not a marquee fight. It is what it is, and let’s see how it all works out.”

Works for Arum, the Bid won't get up that high which will allow him to pay them much less than they're both asking for

That Australian money is good, but hard to come by. If they get it up, that'll will just be more incentive to vote homey a decision at home. Pride is one thing, cash is another.

Lopez was talking about millions, lol, he'll get 750K and Kambosos 250K

No wonder he was begging Eddie for $10 million

If you are a mandatory and want your title shot then call for your shot, go to purse bid if you have to.

Priceless!! This is the same guy that could not land marquee fights for Crawford and added that Crawford needed to market himself, referring to Lopez's bravado. Not sure what Arum promotes as a promoter. Sounds more like a facilitator and you fend for yourself with the connections you can access.

Wow! Lopez fights once per year? At this rate, he’ll fight Haney when their both I. Their 30’s!!
