Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Love ESPN and Top Rank, But If We Can't Meet Terms I'm Taking My Talents Elsewhere

PBC is dying. As time goes on it’s known generation is aging. Whom are the new stars at PBC that will boost this brand? DAZN is the future

oh no not this wanna be confederate clown again. DAZN has 2 American fighters that fans want to see (andrade/devin) and GBP has 2 american fighters (garcia/ortiz) no one else. PBC is the only outfit built to last. Once Jermall moves up to 168 and mixes it up with Plant, Benevidez, Jacobs, David Morell, then the 154s like Jermell, Hurd, Harrison, Lara, Williams will move up to 160 to get it in with korobov, Sergiy and the other MWs. That way you can now feature Sebastian Fundora and Joey Spencer at 154 while also moving Spence, D Garcia, Crawford (who will be with PBC by then), Thurman, Porter and Ugas up to JMW. Then you can feature Boots Ennis and Vito Meilnicki while still having Mikey Garcia, Omar Figuero jr, Paq, Josesito Lopez and Lippinets at 147. 140 will be just fine with Broner, Barthelemy, Barrios, Cowboy Karl, Prograis, and Robert Easter jr. 135 has Rolly, Fortuna, (Devin will be back before 2022), Redkach, "El Charro", Carlos Balderos and others but TR has 135 on lock! 130 is stacked with Tank leading the way and Chris Colbert not far behind. Also at 130 look out for Issac "pitbull" Gonzalez he's going to be a terror. 126 has a big fight being ordered by the WBC with GRJ v Ray flores. Then finally a unification fight between GRJ and Leo and maybe undisputed if Kid Galahad gets his hands on the IBF. King Tug and Abner Mares are still around too. 118-122 is very stacked over there with veterans like Nonito and Rigondeaux and upcomers like Daniel Roman, Brandon Figueroa, Luis Nery and Stephen Fulton. It would be real fun to watch 118-135 at TR and PBC go at it because they both have a lot of fighters over there. Shyte Im willing to bet anyone that a non title HW clash between Wilder v Ruiz PPV will generate a shyte load more revenue than a Fury v AJ fight in America. No network has a more promising future than PBC. No one!

Lopez knows the real money fight is in the PBC🥊

This must be the most ret@rded post in a hot minute. As if American fans only look a certain way to only know that DAZN only has Haney and Andrade. As if DAZN has a blockage for anyone who is Hispanic American to give a message, “sorry, your credit card only works if you spiritually support only Andrade or Haney. Please visit PBC to watch Haymon fighters too.”

Lol. PBC is dying. Their best bet to revamp their brand during Covid is to make Jermell vs Castaño asap. Almost all elite fighters at PBC can’t be paid their usual which is why they’ve all been PPV. Price cuts are everywhere.

Eddie and DAZN will throw the money to Lopez. Lopez and Canelo are also boys. Consolidate the Hispanic branding!

Foh! Noone is paying like they used to and that includes dazn.

I’m so sick of the politics of boxing and the rush of “boxing fans” to RECOGNIZE them as if there sports figures of significance. I could give a fook about promotors, advisors and so forth.
Mayweather really fooked boxing fans by teaching boxers how to be Divas. Guess I’ll switch back to UFC. Tired of WWF verbal bull sheeit of boxing youtube videos.
Fight or get a job. Overpaid Divas.

Jermall has 2 good wins in his entire career. He literally just said, days ago, that he doesn't want to fight Benavidez...

then the 154s like Jermell, Hurd, Harrison, Lara, Williams will move up to 160 to get it in with korobov, Sergiy and the other MWs

The same Korobov Jermall wouldn't rematch?? Yikes

So are you expecting him to hit the lottery jack pot with whom? All boxing promoters can't afford to pay their fighters any longer due to this current lockdown.

Outside of DAZN, ESPN has perhaps the largest boxing budget in the game. This pandemic has put a global dent in the entire sport. If Teofimo cannot sale PPVs or put meat in the seats then there is no way he can expect or justify getting paid more than what he's worth.

No promoter is willing to lose money on a fighter who doesn't generate enough buzz and revenue among the casual fans.

So simple yet there are some out there that side with teofimo. He is young and got a HUGE win vs Lomo but reality is most people have no clue who he is. He is not a star, not even close. He needs to stfu and build his BRAND in the ring. Floyd or Manny didn't suddenly start getting mega paydays 16 fights into their careers.

[rickJen]

1000% stand by that, he SHOULD look to get paid after a huge win over Loma. I've also made it clear that $10 Million wasn't very realistic and it is no way he would get that especially not from Arum

Then again, you're a complete waste of time because you're Troll who use this forum to get some attention you clearly lack in your everyday life

I'm one of the most normal fans you've eve come across with
in these forums who just want to see fights.
You, otoh, have to pontificate about how these greedy clowns
are putting their lives on the line crap.
Yet you don't even buy their PPVs. You're a hypocrite. An enabler.

These greedy clowns don't have to fight.
They can find regular jobs just like billions of people on this earth.
No one forced them to fight. Soldiers put their lives on the line too
but you'll hardly see anyone sharing their sympathies advocating
that they should get paid millions of dollars.

Go get your money, Teo!
Kills me.

Porter supposedly wants 5 mil vs Crawford. Teo and his pops see PBC fighter’s getting overpaid. They see DAZN and Hearn have to overpay (and Hearn has admitted to this) just to compete with Haymon. They want in on that overpayment. Haymon fugged the entire landscape of boxing.

It’s no surprise Porter says things like “2mil is an insult”.

[Ray*]

He is trying to get bigger payday for a Kambosa defence. The thing is if you pay him big money than his minimum then what would he demand for a higher name? I mean he complained about money when he was the challenger/B-side. And he is still complaining even now. No one out their is going to pay him loads of money, Not DAZN not FOX/Showtime. All of them are either now careful with their money or some don't even have dates for their own boxers (Thurman still hasn't fought for over 18 months).
