At least Lopez knows what weight he's fighting at and is training to fight at the weight that he agreed and signed a contract for.
these pressures would be enormous. and even now, GBP/HBO must have been pulling all the strings to save this fight all the while and broner is just sitting back and eating his snack.
Poor attempt at misdirection. As pointed out in the original post you are trying to twist, this is not about any ones values but Escebedo's. Try again if you must.
puga dude where did you get 150k. all these mother****ers on the other thread say 180k as well as freddy and he has a mexican in his picture and you a flip so i believe what he says for purse more than you. nevermind i see its 180 with the fine. got you dude.
Lol...at the "principle" argument, this man aside from turning down more money than he's probably made in his entire career, a future title shot, has also burned bridges with GBP and HBO...yeah sounds like a great idea, hope his "principles" support his children and provide a better life for his family. This isn't "principle" it's stubborn stupidity. A principled man would do all he could to provide a better life for his family, and not make shitty decisions based on his foolish pride. It's his life, but his advisement is horrible.
"Sam Watson Twins ‏@SamWatsonTwins @danrafaelespn complaining of a fighter being over weight is like us complaining about the kardashians being famous for nothing"
I'm a big Broner fan but if the fight doesn't come off its 100% his fault. Escobedo has a right to decline this fight and I have no problem in him doing so. I was really looking forward to this fight and Broner ruined it by being unprofessional. I'm still a Broner fan and he's still a G but he lost a lot of respect from me today.
Someone has to make a stand against GBP/Haymon at some point. If you don't buy into the "principles" argument, perhaps you'll buy into the "health" argument. It's not 3.5 lbs of water we're talking about, but 3.5 lbs of base weight: muscle mass.
i know right. the name of the game is "prizefighting" you work for the biggest prize. Yeah the weight broner could put on even more on the night but thats too much money man.
