That's their plan and have said as much. Lopez said he will not fight in Australia. He says if Triller doesnt back off that demand he will vacate the IBF title and Kambosas can go fight a can for pennies.
FFS... I thought Triller were smart Australia is still under full lockdown. They have banned full crowd events and have cancelled all sporting events scheduled months in advance. Triller are either being greedy at this point or are just totally incompetent.
We need to put AJ, Usyk, Spence, and Pacquiao into a bubble immediately so we have at least a couple big fights for the rest of the year.
Queensland still has sporting events. The NRL is moving all NSW teams to QLD to keep the competition going. Granted the NRL is huge and the QLD government will do all it can to help as Rugby League is one of the major sports in Australia. Staging a boxing event likely wouldn't get the same sort of support.
looez throwing demands left right and centre first with tr singing trillers prasies now sounding like a spoilt biatch to me
I think you will find that they now understand they massively overpaid for the fight. Will not see a return on investment and instead are planning to see if they can upset Lopez enough for him to drop out and therefore they will not be in breach of contract. however I do agree that they are massively incompetent as documented by paying that much for the fight in the first place
Another have gloves won't travel ''warrior'' This content is protected Bring all your belts you worked so hard to get over to the US, champ, so the ref and three home judges (standard practice over there) can rob them from you and give them to me Usyk Gassiev in Russia Briedis in Latvia Glowacki in Poland Huck in Germany Bellew in England Hunter in the US Chisora in England AJ in England
I see your point, but when the American economy dwarfs the rest of the worlds it's no surprise most of the big fights happen there.
Why is Lopez and the like called World champions they fight literally at home all the time. Really they should just be called US "champions".. You can be a weight bully and fight at home, be called a world champion and people will still hype these pussies up
Sadly, I think you're right. The numbers never stacked up in the first place. Bob Arum must be laughing his head off. I think it was Triller trying to make a name for themselves and showing their spending power - only for them to fall at the first hurdle.
What, really? Australia was going full ree ree in the middle of COVID when they had full events with no mask use.
They only have a 15% vaccine uptake and still have closed borders (or very tightly controlled ones anyway). They went for herd immunity and then full lockdowns and now are still closed to pretty much everyone. They had the F1 race planned for November 2021 but cancelled it 4 whole months in advance.
