    Teofimo Lopez Possibly Fighting On Another Network Next Fight?

    Looks like he is having disputes on his purse as TR is offering the minimum of $1.25M and team Lopez wants more than that.

    Here is the issue. He signed an extension to fight Lomachenko and is under contract for 3.5 more years.

    “We have a three-and-a-half-year contract after the fight with (Lopez),” Arum pointed out. “If they put him on their platform, he comes right back to our platform and presumably he’s got viewers from their platform and now maybe they’re interested in him.


    He really lost his leverage with the extension and I doubt any other network will put a serious bid for the fight. Why would they? Lopez hasn't proven to be a star just yet and he will go right back to ESPN like Arum stated.

    Lopez feels he took the risk of fighting the P4P great as a green fighter and thought it would make him big money afterwards, but that's not the case. Lomachenko and Crawford have 3M+ guarantees and Lopez is likely looking for that...But he signed his extension to get Lomachenko and now he really can't do nothing about it.

          He's not asking for 10M for Kambosos.

                No Surprise! Promoters are Brilliant with those "Kicker Clauses" in contracts and it goes something like this: "I Will Get You This Big Fight, But You Will Have To Sign An Extension" sometimes they try to sneak it in the contract and most fighters and their team don't even catch it


                Mikey Garcia broke this down when explaining that every time he would fight somehow his contract get extended. It was always "Well You Have 1 More Fight With Us On Your Contract"

                I think Teofimo and his father screwed up by running around claiming they was going to make $10 Million in their next fight

                  I was thinking the same thing. Two Words: Mikey Garcia
