      Yeah, Ironically that fight wasn’t PPV

      Anyway I am a fan of Lopez but the reality is even Loma wasn’t some crossover mainstream superstar.

      It’s not really about how good you are, it’s generally about how much revenue you bring in and Lopez isn’t a $10 million fighter at this moment.

          He turned it down or can't accept the offer because he fights under Top Rank/ESPN and Haney fights under Matchroom/DAZN?

          The only "big/decent" fights Lopez has available to him, realistically, are Lomachenko II, Nakatani II, Verdejo @ 135, Jose Ramirez, Josh Taylor, Pedraza @ 140, Crawford @ 147. And the looked-down-upon fighter coming up a weight class situation, where 130 fighters come up to 135-140 to fight...Berchelt, and Herring.

          Anyone who's PBC or Matchroom is out of the question. Arum won't allow it.

            Of course he was going to turn down 4 mil.
            I was thinking the same thing why would he take 4 when he already asked for 10

              Too many assumptions. Kamboses makes sense because you want to get rid of your mandatories as early as possible as bigger and bigger crowds are being allowed. Haney will still be there afterwards. It’d just be sad to fight Kamboses with more availability than your fight with Haney. Plus it allows Haney, Ryan, Tank etc to take a good fight next it just makes the fight better later in the year.

              If the Kamboses fight falls through they will start to look at Haney etc, as per Lopez. Right now the offer matters little unless they can offer something crazy.

              You really think Lopez would be sat in limbo without those in-house fights? Lol. It’s weird the opinion people have of TR yet in most pfp lists TR fighter’s dominate.

                  Lopez should join PBC.
                  Haymon will give him what he wants, plus the side money.
