Bob Arum SHOOTs down Loma-Mikey...

Berchelt called Loma out three times already at the very least. Lomachenko or Arum completely ignored the true SFW champion.

I respect Loma's abilities but its hella annoying when fighters pick up a title in a division and move up before facing the best.

 

Really?

Berchelt had hand injuries and then wanted to come back to fight a bum in a mandatory defense. Was Lomachenko meant to hang around for no reason at 130 for Berchelt to be ready or move to 135 to challenge himself against Linares?

 

There is all kinds of media online where Berchelt is calling out Loma.

Loma's team never made an effort to fight the best SFW. Bob Arum made it very clear Lomachenko was moving up to LW killing any likelihood that he would make the fight happen.

 

You don't know what goes on. What we do know is that Berchelt was out of action when Lomachenko wanted that fight. The only reason he might not want that fight is because his fans don't care for seeing it. People want to see Garcia, Tank or Pac.

Linares was a cherry picked opponent with a title. Loma still struggled and almost gets KO’d.

 

I like this old cranky version of arum guys a boss.

I will give him a number if it’s not good **** it!!

 

Arum also confirmed that Floyd Mayweather Jr., who promotes WBA junior lightweight titleholder Gervonta Davis, had reached out to Top Rank president Todd DuBoef about a possible fight between Davis (20-0, 19 KOs) and Lomachenko, but isn’t sure how serious the talks were.

“I think you should ask Floyd. Floyd called Todd and I think he was pissed off at Davis and he wanted to see Davis destroyed.”

Funny.

 

Typical arum once again getting in the way of great fights being made

 

They want no part of Mikey.

 

Loma vs Rigo drew twice the ratings Broner vs Mikey did.
Why does it belong on SHO?

 

Mikey called out Pacquiao, Crawford, Lomachenko, Cotto, Garcia, Thurman, and Spence.

Mikey was offered Linares and Cotto.

Mikey fought Zlaticanin, Broner, and Lipinets.

 

But that was yesterday when he was lying. Today, he's telling the truth.

 

I hope so too.

 

Arum pisses me off sometimes. He has been solely responsible for loads of great fights not happening. Floyd used to fight his fighters eventually when they left toprank. There was years between the Pac JMM fights when the first 3 bouts more than merited immediate rematches. He doesn't like risking his cash cows.
