    unified lightweight champion Lopez stated he is willing to drop his ibf belt due to travel restrictions to Australia, does this mean a rematch with Loma is more likely now?

    I hope boxers like him never win another tittle ever.
    Sick of this Divas.

    Give the belt to Kambosos and then make him fight Loma.

    What this really means is Lopez isn’t worth the money he is demanding. Triller was dumb as hell to pay what they did and are now desperate to make the money up. There is no PPV market for Lopez and an unknown Aussie in the US so they are looking at making it in the Challengers back yard, where I think it would do decent number. But Lopez being Lopez thinks he is a PPV star and is balking of being the undisputed having to travel to the challengers backyard.

    Lopez the diva. Not surprising at all.
    If he drops the belt then Kambosos can fight Loma for it. Loma wins and the forces the rematch with Lopez for unified

    Too bad. It would show a lot of confidence if he traveled out of country. In a perfect world, he would do that and fight Loma in the Ukraine back to back. Highly doubtful.

    Lopez and his father thought they were major stars. They aren't making as much money as they hoped that is why Lopez Sr. looks eager for a Lomachenko rematch.
    Arum could put the rematch on PPV and Lopez being the winner will demand the bigger cut.

    There is no "should" in professional boxing. Lomachenko desperately wants the rematch, so of course he will have to make concessions.

    It will be ironic for Lomachenko to make his debut on PPV, be the star attraction and still get the smaller cut.

    Not ironic. He's the challenger, it's expected.

    Purse, yes. PPV split, no.

    Even the WBC consider him undisputed.

    Haney's title means about as much as Tank's does at 140.

    Well, looks that for team Lopez $ they might had get for fight vs Kambossos in US looked not enough.
    Therefore they let this to go till purse bids because predicted to get more $ via purse bid.

    Looked that they had get good $ offer when Triller won bid.

    Now only one thing remains: to beat Kambosos. Yeah, in Australia because team Lopez let this to go till purse bid.
    If they had told that with $ Lopez might had get in US for this fight is enough, Kambosos fight might had been made this summer, I think.
