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.
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.
