Bob Arum, Pandemic Hero—Lomachenko Vs. Lopez Is On ESPN.

Wait, I thought Lopez was "Afraid terrified " and ducking Loma???

 

I don't know, but Lopez definitely tried to price himself out of the fight until he couldn't do it anymore without losing face, because Lomachenko reduced his own purse.

 

And yet this weekend we got whyte vs povetkin on ppv with the shittest ppv undercard of all time.

 

Put your shirt back on. There have been countless undercards far worse than this one.

 

a sound decision considering lomachenko and lopez are unknown even amongst casuals. by putting it on regular espn both get relatively high visibility compared to a ppv that was bound to do poor numbers and probably lose money.

 

lets go

 

Well he was smart enough and got more money, nothing to do with being "scared "

 

Yeah lmao. The guy asked for more, got more and made the fight. Hilarious that someone's trying to spin it any other way

 

I will never hate on someone for maximizing their earning potential. But if this fight did not happen, and the reason why it didn't happen was due to Teo turning it down over money, you would be supportive?

 

I wouldn't be supportive of either fighter if this fight did not get made because neither was willing to concede. Had Loma made a small concession and Lopez stood totally firm then I would blame Lopez. Had Loma refused to concede at all and passed up the biggest payday of his career over the split i would blame loma

 

I'll believe it when I see it. If true great move by arum.
