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

You have no leverage Buddy. So go right ahead! You won't be missed. It's not like you put enough meat in the seats anyway. You are not even box office draw. You can't draw flies to shit. In Bob's own words "Who the fuck needs him?"

Here's a clear example of someone who doesn't know sh-t about the business side of boxing. Top Rank financially can't afford to pay their fighters any longer. Teofimo CAN afford to go else where. It's TOP RANK that's will be hurt by this. Best believe Teofimo and Terrence Crawford are leaving and I don't blame them one bit. it's the boxers that are putting their lives on the line. You'd probably understand if you were a boxer.

I'm not sure anybody is going to pay him the $10 million per fight that he wants.

This guy might have a bigger ego than Floyd Mayweather.

Yea, okay LeBron

Leave Lonesome Bob

Bob is old school and will not pay your worth. However he will pay Lomo. PBC awaits and will pay you your worth but you must keep winning.

Mouthy little Fxxker.

Mouthy? For expressing his opinion? What about u *****?

As I see it. This isnt the time for making much money in boxing. Being inactive as a fighter isn’t good for their skills. It has the same affect as overeating between fights. Sucks their career right out of them.

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!

Yup!

I bought in 2020

Spence/Garcia
Davis/Santa Cruz
Charlo/Sergiy
Wilder/Fury

Ones I wouldn't even touch and still haven't seen

Tyson/Jones
Mayweather/McGreggor
Canelo/JCC Jr.
Canelo/Smith (Except body highlight)

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.
