Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
With a massive 6 million bid. Top Rank only bid 2.3
Matchroom was the next highest bid at 3.5 million. I kind of wish Hearn won the fight, just to watch Arum lose his mind and vow revenge.

Seems like this company is making the same mistake DAZN did. Overspending, and reaching too far. No way this fight is worth 6 Million dollars.

Power move by the upstart. Teofimo and Top Rank have to be pleased with their respective percentages.
Re: Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
triller is a circus act type of rig so far... signed tyson... going for tyson vs holy 3... They are emulating bellator in mma... bellator had some of their best audience by matching old timer names of mma... Triller doing the same for boxing... and they just got one of the sport best boxer if not the best right now... they want to turn heads... lots of money but not that much if you take into account this is also publicity/marketing money.

I hope Snoop calls this fight.
Re: Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
Arum is getting perilously close to antitrust with his comments. You can't play hardball with your fighters and then try to limit competition on the open market by trying to intimidate others from making competing bids. Good for Hearn and Triller. This is exactly how purse bids are supposed to work.
Matchroom would have won the right to put the show on DAZN if not for Triller's monster bid. As things stand, Top Rank will get $790k for doing nothing, and will be able to allocate their budget to other fights.
This is especially great for Kambosos and Dibella Entertainment. Kambosos will get a massive 1.5 million payday which he will have to pay his managers and trainers from. Dibella's company will get 4 or 5 hundred thousand, which I'm sure they badly need after the financial disaster that was 2020.

Re: Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
Such a bullshit fight considering all of the possible matches currently at 135.
Re: Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
To be fair, how much less proven is Kambosos than Garcia and Haney? He's not based in the US and hasn't had the hype, but he's not too bad as far as mandatories go and has gotten some solid wins on the road, although Lopez is a p4p fighter and should win without much issue. He'd beat Garcia and Haney too btw.
Aside from them there isn't much interesting at 135. Tank's last fight was at 130 and he says he's NOT fighting at 135 next either......

Re: Triller won the Lopez-Kambosos Purse Bid
Kambosos is a mandatory for Lopez, so I don't see a problem with it.
Yes, Triller way overpaid for this fight but they did say it's going to be a co-feature, another bout featuring some loudmouth YouTubers will probably co-headline. So Triller probably believes the co-main event will make up for what they overpaid for Lopez-Kambosos.
This card will most likely end up being a PPV.
