Tim Bradley says that Teofimo Lopez’s decision to withdraw from negotiations with Devin Haney on August 16 is “Power game”. He says that Teofimo (22-1, 13 KO) noticed $ 20 million, which Ryan Garcia supposedly got to fight Rolando “Rolly” Romero on May 2, and did not intend to agree to $ 11 million to fight Haney on August 16.

Lopez’s power game was explained

Tim says that Teofimo thinks he did more during his career than Kingry, winning two world divisions titles, beating Vasily Lomachenko and Josh Taylor. So Lopez wants what comes to him, which is the same “astronomical” money that would fight Jaron “Boots” Ennis to easily fight Haney.

If Garcia gets $ 20 million to fight Rolly, he wants a similar cake to fight Haney. So Teofimo sticks to this amount or more for Devin’s clash.

“Who’s hell is afraid of Devin Haney after this last performance? The man is afraid to hit. The man does not want to touch,” said Tim Bradley Social media About Teofimo Lopez, who does not decide not to fight Devin Haney. “It’s an uncomplicated job.”

Lopez is definitely not afraid of Haney. He knows that there is nothing to fear, that the fight against a featherlight blow, which Bradley considers PTSD from his loss to Ryan Garcia last year. But, as Tim says, it is a game of power from Teofimo. He is not going to fight Haney, unless he gets the same kind as he would fight with Jaron Ennis.

Why Teofimo will not fight Haney

“Teofimo Lopez, can you call it ducks? You can call it ducks. It could be a game of power. Here’s why. Teofimo Lopez wanted to fight bottles. Why did he want to fight shoes? Because there was more money on the table. That’s why. He thought he could beat him. Maybe not,” said Tim.

No, this is not a duck that Teofimo does, deciding not to fight Haney. He wants the same amount he was to get for the fight against Ennis. He is probably not cheerful that Ryan Garcia got $ 20 million to fight Romero in May last year. According to Bradley, Lopez would receive $ 11 million to fight Haney.

“I thought he had a good chance. However, the shoes did not take the lure. He did not want to fight. The shoes go to 154. This is my opinion. Or shoes may even want Brian Norman Jr.. I think that it came out of his mouth. He wants Brian Norman Jr. he goes to Japan and knocks this guy and knocks this guy. [Jin Sasaki] Because he threw this guy better. It’s an uncomplicated job, “said Bradley.

Ennis does not want to fight Teofimo because he is not one who does nothing for his career. He wants belts and knows that Teo’s fight would simply be for money to lend a hand those in need, default native native Brooklyn. In other words, it is paid. This is not a sport, and Ennis is not at the stage of your career in which it is become greedy and got a golden fever Like Shebao.

Ennis Fight Money vs. Haney

“So he [Lopez] He was supposed to pay more money. He was supposed to shoot at the ring belt. He was ready to go to 147. Absolutely. But it was definitely more money. I heard that this is astronomical money, “Tim said about the money that Lopez would have if he fought with Jaron” Boots “Ennis.

When Boots said he didn’t want to fight Teofimo, he left him in a position where he got stuck with Haney. He is not a warrior who introduces PPV, and on May 2 he came out of a terrible performance against Jose Ramorez. Why would Turks want to pay Teofimo the same amount of money with Haney’s fight as what would fight Ennis?

“So, so Turki says:” No, ah. I want you to fight Haney. This is what I want you to put, but I will pay you less money. I will pay you 11 [million]. ‘ I don’t know. I have heard that it is $ 11 million for Haney. “No, Ah, it’s not enough” for Teofimo Lopez, “said Bradley.

Teofimo compares with what Ryan got and wants a similar salary based on making more. Among the fighters he defeated Lopez, only one of them was popular: Vasily Lomachenko. Lopez looked destitute in the fighting with Arnold Barboza Jr, Sandor Martin, Steve Claggett, George Cambosos Jr and Jamaine Ortiz.

Box Power Play Dynamics

“This is probably a reason. What Teofimo Lopez did in this game in a miniature time. I called my shot and defeated Lomachenko. I called [Josh] Taylor. He thinks he did a lot in sport, “said Bradley,” then you will look at Ryan Garcia. Honey of social media. “

Teofimo did more in sport, but this does not attract a free boxing fan. They do not follow sport enough to know who won the titles. They take care of entertainment, noise, communication, charisma and appearance. Ryan defeated Teo in each of these areas. That is why he was paid more for his fight again than what was offered Teofimo for fighting Haney.

“Millions of subscribers. Millions of subscriptions of millions of audience. [WBA ‘regular’ welterweight title]But he still lost. I know Ryan’s hand is hurt. Regardless of the excuse they want to create, “said Tim.

Turki paid Ryan Garcia for this money because he has a huge social media profile with 12 million watching on Instagram. This does not even count his followers and his ability to interest his events during interviews.

Teofimo can’t do it. There are no supporters, and his Brooklyn Djibberish is tough for people from other parts of the US to understand or refer to. It seems that he speaks a different language. Everyone understands Ryan, and he did not assume a false front of behaving like a tough guy, unlike Teo.

Teofimo: More than Ryan?

“He could not hand over this bag, regardless of winning this fight or not. He could not convey it, but he earns $ 20 million. It’s also [$11 million for Haney]. ‘He knows that there is more money on the table. He understands that there is more money. So I think what he does is standing on his land, “said Bradley.

If Teofimo stands on his land, hoping that he will get the same money that Ryan Garcia could fight Romero, he can end up with nothing. Of course, he hopes that Turki will undermine the salary, but maybe not. The Teofimo-Haney fight is not the one that many are interested, taking into account the way both fighters achieved worse results on the Times Square card on May 2.
