This makes sense. Their fight will probably make at least 3X or 4x. [url]https://www.*******.com/teofimo-lopez-says-he-turned-down-offer-fight-ryan-garcia--179577[/url]
That's a very low purse for a superfight. Crawford was making that amount fighting unknown champs at 135.
Why is it a duck? Ryan is coming off a loss. Teo should be fighting the likes of Haney/Prograis winner, not the social media boxing star.
I have no idea what Teo is doing with his career but he gains little from beating Ryan Garcia who imo is one of the most overrated active boxers. As long as he takes on Subrial, Prograis/Haney next, I think boxing fans will be happy.
Teo would be a nobody without the judges gifting him the Loma fight. He needs to take every fight to prove he's not a joke.
It would be a great long term move to take short money and kayo Ryan, but Teo is not much for long term thinking.
