Next bout of IBF champion Teofimo Lopez on a purse bid

[Alexandoy]

IBF lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez said that he cannot accept the $1.25 million purse offered by his p;romoter Top Rank. Lopez will fight unknown contender George Kambosos. Lopez resorted to the purse bid – like an open bidding for the purse of the boxers. The highest bidder was Triller with a purse of $6 million for Lopez while Bob Arum’s Top Rank offered only $2.3 million. Lopez is the big underdog who beat Vasiliy Lomachenko.

I'm glad Teofimo Lopez decided to take matters into his own hands. $1.25m is peanuts in the boxing world.

$1.25m feels a little bit short.

 

[Hova]

I'm just glad that you can even do so. Know. Your worth.

 

[Olaf93]

The sport is turning into something very beautiful.

 

[Hova]

I'm glad to see Triller won the purse bid, $6m plus, to stage Teofimo Lopez vs George Kombosos fight.

[Hova]

We need more smart fighters in the sport.

 

[Olaf93]

It is all about building a legacy everyone would be proud of.

 

[Hova]

People like Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather know how important it is to have a great legacy. Just ask Mahammad Ali.

Mike Tyson fucked up his own legacy. But I'm glad to see that he is doing everything he can to repair it.
