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

[Thuglife Nelo]

you're still mad about canelo being a bruvva? lol. just accept it mayne. canelo is not even embraced in mexico. i wonder why... they know he's not one of theirs. a real mexican fights like brandon rios. canelo is a slick bruvva

Lol. Duran, Chavez, Salvador Sanchez had their own KNOWN defensive and offensive slickness that wasn’t amateur based elusiveness. Floyd, Pernell, RJJ, Toney,Ali, SRL, Hagler, fought nothing a like which proves there is no “slickness.” David Tua had more slickness with his stocky pudgy self doing amazing slippage and shoulder rolling that makes most HW’s today look basic with entertainment aside from Fury. So are Fury and Tua “bruvas.” I even see some traits from Tua in Canelo when pressuring guys with style. Canelo comes comes from that Tua cloth styled walking guys down as he did with Ike Ieabuchi cause he doesn’t give no fooks.

It’s great to see black boxing fans troubled that Mexicans are pushing the game. So much that they have to instigate what other races are or are not. That trolling is the reason why you purple slurred get trolled. Karma mayne! Canelo is the HNIC!

I think this is a teachable moment....I have a question for you and I’d be much obliged if you answered honestly. You present yourself as a Mexican American though admittedly this is the internet and you could be pretending to be a Mexican American but what isn’t pretend is what appears to be a heavy disdained for black people. Where did this come from? I consider myself pretty astute when it comes to history so I veil to see any historical context in which Africans or black Caribbeans or black Americans or coloured people of any nationality have systematically oppressed or attempted to against Mexicans or several of the races within Mexico. Is this because you have spent time in prison and you joined a Latino prison gang or is it because you have become enraged by boxing channels on YouTube? Where is this coming from? I’m just trying to understand the hatred towards coloured people you and others seem to have on here. Take the British for example, the British will support a Welshman, ulsterman, Englishman, Scotsman, Cornish etc etc in a boxing match, while militant Mexican Americans are ill only support Mexican American boxers or Mexican boxers. Explain it all to me so I can understand this ultranationalist militancy and racism towards black people.

When have I ever said anything bad about PBC?? I just think they're putting on too much PPV fights. But maybe that's the only way to pay them decent right now without fans buying seats.

ESPN was the ones who sold ESPN+ saying no more PPVs. And now they're doing PPV's.

I'm good with DAZN, PBC, even ESPN. All I was saying was PBC costing me the most currently. Hopefully that changes.

And yes! ALL fighters usually hate Top Skank!

Killed Walters career. Rig. on life support. M. Garcia lost a good portion of his prime. Pac has $$$$ problems when he should not!

PBC gives out bonus money also.

their fox contract is 4 ppv a year thats y

Lopez would be a huge W for DAZN, but it's just as likely he and Canelo could end up at PBC.

DAZN or PBC are likely the next stops for Lopez.

I would be shocked if anybody put in a serious bid for that fight but you never know we find out in 4 Days

[boxcityusa805]

Not necessarily. If ESPN doesn’t think it’s a marketable match up they can back off on the purse bid especially if Teo is suggesting he’s going elsewhere. Teo deserves props for taking and winning good fights but he and his team need to manage economic expectations when there is no live gate

No live gate? This fight would be in Australia, they would be able to sell tickets. Maybe not pac vs horn stadium but they can get 15-20k

Fox wants that PPV money that’s for sure. Clearly fox never bought into the “PPV is dead” mantra via their contract

[Oldskoolg]

I think it depends on how much of a penny pincher he decides to be. I don’t think he has the following to demand 10m purses at dayzin nor do I think they want to throw around money like that for anyone not called Canelo. Nor do I see him going directly to PPV on pbc for less than stellar defences. In fact, my guess is they would want him on regular FOX to build a following with knockout reels

[Monty Fisto]

Lopez becomes more insufferable with every passing day.

I completely agree with that.
