    Over at the scene....rumours in Puerto Rico that a $3m offer was made TO Lopez to step up in weight and fight Ricky.

    Can't see it tbh.

    Not a chance that he was offered $3million to fight Burns. No way is Warren backing Burns that much because he aint PPV calibre yet, if ever, unlikely IMO and as if Burns would take the fight knowing he was getting paid a fraction of his opponent.

    burns will fight juanma down the line imo, because juanma always goes down the wbo route so when he moves up he will automatically become manditory for burns title which is shocking.

    Article was badly written Ishy. I think the total purse was $3mil obviously Lopez would get the majority.

    you have to wonder how legit this is. where would the money come from. Showtime won't be paying more than $1million for Juanma fights, Sky will not back this more than a usual Burns fight and the gate in Puerto Rico won't be huge. Just don't see where they get $3million from.

    No way warren puts £3'000'000 to a purse for juanma, he would only do this if he thought burns could win, and there is absolutely no way burns beats juanma. burns isnt a ppv fighter im sorry to say but i dont think he can warrant such investment or pay it back.

    If true Warren deserves plaudits for such big risk taking, juanma ko within 3...

    :deal

    martinez is a one-dimensional banger, juanma is the real deal :good check his record and his very good victory over ponce de leon. No way burns wins this, hopefully billy nelson see's this and chips in. Not talking burns down or nout but boxing is all about levels and juanma is nearing p4p top 15 for gods sake...
