Wow! Teofimo Turns down $4 Million to Fight Haney

[F l i c k e r]

Teo wanted 10 million for the Haney fight.

Of course he was going to turn down 4 mil.

Lol if beeting a guy 3 weight classes below you who got whooped by salido makes you a superstar then lmao

Ice post green when I can

[MONGOOSE66]

Make it a winner takes all. Bet Haney will not want the fight.

[Eff Pandas]

Fighters should talk shit. Teo just hasn't been making sense to me lately.

I don't cruise YT clips all day like some cats here do, but I listen to a bunch of podcasts & Teo makes the most sense of anyone at 135 to me when I'm not going by headlines or threads. Ryan just says anything lol, he fighting Tank next, he fighting Manny next. Loma don't say sh^t lately except excuses on his L. Devin is just ******* off to hearing his own voice I feel like cuz he's all over the place. And Tank pretends no one else even matters cuz he's already the biggest name in the game in his own mind.

I think Teo is pretty smart with the business side. Smarter than the average boxer that's for sure.

But regardless of all that I mean how many no olympic medal winning guys in boxing history got a $1M+ per fight guarantee at 23? Not a lot. Teo is doing great for where he's at so far. He just needs to show a lil patience with the progress, but ultimately I think you can be patient while still pushing for more like he is. The unsqueaky wheel don't get no oil.

"Haney nobody knows who you are, nobody cares about your email
belt, you don't draw crowds. Now pay me 10 million to fight you"

Would 4 million not be Lopez highest purse to date? Against what he calls an easy win? With a world title to take so there can be no dispute about undisputed? And he is going to ask for an unachievable amount of money?

Looks like a price out and smells a bit like a duck to me.

What a disgrace

He said he was getting $5 million to fight Kambosos

[Motorcity Cobra]

Yeah, Haney needs to fight Fortuna and Linares. Do something interesting and stop begging. It looks bad.

Teo can stfu. Good fighter, just talks too much. He's getting peanuts compared to Bob's main guys. He might as well move up to 140 already.

I agree that Haney needs to fight someone first (though the Loma haters weren't singing that tune when he was calling out Loma). On the other hand, if Teo thinks so little of Haney and that he would be easy work, why not take the easy money?

Two strikes me as a guy who is going to price himself out of some good fights. After one loss his stock will drop and he'll be begging for a $4M fight.

Teo vs Kambosos is a hot garbage fight. Teo's own promoter said it's not competitive.

Teo vs Haney is a better fight so why marinate it?

Y’all really don’t understand how boxing works lol

Cross promoting fights don’t happens unless is big business or the promoters don’t care/see money making capabilities of that fighter

[BoxingIsGreat]

This.

Teo can't even accept a fight without Bob signing off on it. Idk why mfers so confused about how boxing works in 2021. If you got a promoter you aren't calling your shots like some mfers seem to think.

That said I'm bored with all these 135lb guys as of late with all this bs talk of fighting each other.

The bold says it all.

And to add to this, if Arum was offered 4 mil by Hearn, I'm pretty sure he'd have taken it on behalf of Lopez. So, it looks like no negotiations even took place.

I'm tired of these guys too.

[Willy Wanker]

It's true that Haney is a paper champion and he hasn't proven anything. But more than likely, Lopez will end up fighting opponents who are even less proven than Haney.

Haney and Garcia will keep talking about chasing big fights, but they'll just fight bums in the meantime.

Boxing matchmaking just sucks now with all this "other side of the street" bs.
