JUST IN: Star Boxer Teofimo Lopez — Just Over a Year After Nearly Dying — Announces Retirement

...he will be back/He ain't really going anywhere.... child support/alimony(he married his baby momma) is going to take a huge bite out of his purse money....

 

rest easy, champ

 

As a Show of Solidarity w/ 'Fimo, REED is Retiring from Posting...

Goodbye Fightbeat!!!




REED

 

REED's Officially Coming Out of Retirement, Just as 'Fimo Will...

Boxers are the Absolute WORST When it Comes to "Retirements" w/No Close 2nd...





REED

 

Fimo was apparently trying to type, "I'm retarded," and misspelled it to read "retired."

 

Fimo will return in 2 years on Floyd's undercard. Floyd will be fighting the great great great grandson of Lucky Luciano.

 

Doubt it. He wouldnt have been approved for the Taylor fight if it was the case

 

Fimo will soon be telling us that he beat Josh with full blown AIDS. We'll have to rename him Tomefimo Morrison.

 

He doesn't need full blown aids. His fuckin hands will suffice.

Fat Dan Rafael says Lopez got 2.3 mill not only the 1 mill he claims

 

Maybe 'Fimo Only RECEIVED $1mil of the $2.3mil he was Contracted???...& No, REED Ain't Accusing Bob Arum or Top Rank of Shady Shit Either, REED's Saying it WOULDN'T Be the Least Bit Surprising if 'Fimo WASN'T On Top of His Finances...



REED

 

Maybe. If that's the case he'll get his full contractually obligated purse. Arum can't plead poverty,he's worth 8 or 9 figures

 

So it sounds like he ain’t retiring.

 

Well, Today He Said "Only Way" He's Coming Back Is If He Gets a Multi-Fight Network Deal EXCLUSIVE Of a Promoter, Which AIN'T Happening...

'Fimo's a Generation or So LATE to That Particular Party, Hosted by HBO for Years...Them Days are OVER Though...

ESPN/ESPN+/ESPN PPV - Top Rank
Showtime/Showtime PPV - PBC
DAZN/DAZN PPV - Matchroom/Golden Boy
FOX/FOX PPV - REED Isn't Sure if Fox is Still IN the Business of Boxing, But if So, They're Tied to PBC...

It's as if 'Fimo is CLUELESS to How His Profession Operates...NO Current Fighter Has a Multi-Fight Deal w/a Network, EXCLUSIVE of a Promoter...The CLOSEST to That is Canelo, Who's a Free Agent and Goes on a Fight By Fight Basis These Days...Canelo Isn't Beholden to a Particular Network But he Also DOESN'T Have a Multi-Fight Deal Either...

'Fimo is Literally Holding Out for Something He WILL NOT Receive in the End...Won't Even Come Within SMELLING Distance of Such an Offer...Just Like the Loma Win, the Taylor Victory Has Gone to His Head and 'Fimo's OVERSTATING/OVERESTIMATING His Worth...

Hopefully this CHARADE Ends Before 2023 Concludes or REED's Afraid 'Fimo Will Start WASTING, Potentially LOSING Pieces of His PRIME, Due to Inactivity...




REED

 

That's funny and true. Boxers are the worst athletes to stay retired. Tweek-o-fimo will be back when the crack cocaine runs out.

 

Literally, REED NEVER Believes a Fighter When He Says He's "Retiring"...EVER!!!




REED

 

What is the bigger money fight?:

Lopez vs Davis @140

Haney vs Davis @135

 

The latter without question.

Haney is a bigger mainstream name than Fimo, despite being a boring feather fist.

Lopez vs Davis is the BETTER matchup for real fans.

 

Is he really?

his ppv with lomachenko sold 150k. and most fans who saw it were left unimpressed.

I dont believe haney is a draw. I also think Lopez Davis would do bigger business

 

Fimo-Taylor did impressive ratings on ESPN, so maybe I'm selling Fimo short.

I don't think either matchup is as big as Shakur-Davis will be within a year.

I would expect by this time next year for Stevenson-Davis to be THE biggest matchup to make in the sport.

 

Fimo would be the butt of a Norm Mcdonald joke

"Retired? Nearly died and retired? I didn't even know he was gay!!"

 

Dev vs. Tank at ‘35 is the Bigger Fight; How MUCH Bigger is Debatable, But it’s BIGGER…

On the Heels of the King Ryan Fight, “Tank Davis Vying for ALL the Belts” Guarantee’s 500k-750k PPV’s Minimum…Then Factor in Social Media Presence…

On Twitter, Dev Has 265k Followers, ‘Fimo Has 171k…On IG, Dev Has 2.5mil Followers to 860k for ‘Fimo…

Just as King Ryan’s Social Media Presence Aided in Pushing the Tank Fight OVER 1mil PPV Buys, the Fact Dev Has a Larger Social Media Presence Than ‘Fimo Would Result in More PPV Sales for Dev-Tank Than ‘Fimo-Tank…

‘Fimo’s Unquestionably the Better FIGHTER, But He’s Not a Bigger Draw Than Dev, Sadly…



REED

 

I dont buy into haney being a bigger draw. More eyes were on Lopez winning in very impressive fashion, than haney winning a lackluster decision most thought he didnt deserve. Going forward that makes a difference

 

Boxing is heavily geographical. I don't know how it is where you live.

I live in the NYC vicinity, and I can tell you for fact that casual fans around here know Haney and Shakur more than they know Fimo.

 

i dont really listen to casual fans , but i never hear any talkin about lopez or haney.

 

More Eye's Are On Haney On a DAILY Basis ,Via Social Media...As Ryan Garcia AND Tank Have Illustrated, Social Media Presence MATTERS In Modern Day Boxing...Besides All That, Fighting on FREE TV vs. Fighting on PPV Should Result in More Fightnight Eye's...

Is Devin Haney a "Draw"??? Absolutely NOT...But He Registers HIGHER On, Or CLOSER To the Mainstream Scale than 'Fimo Does, Unquestionably...'Fimo COULDN'T Even Sell Out the SMALL Room in His OWN City Neil...Then He Walked Out to an INDIFFERENT Fight Crowd...Granted, 'Fimo CONVERTED That Crowd and Had Them Eating Out of the Palm of His Hands By the Mid Point, But Then Dude "Retired" 5 Minutes Later, Basically SHITTING On the Positive Momentum He Just Built...

REED Isn't a Even Fan of Dev's, Per Se, and Bill Haney is a SMARMY Ass, Off Putting Motherfucker...On the Flipside, REED IS a Fan of 'Fimo's, Despite His 'Fimo Sr (as Trainer) Thoughts...But it IS What It Is...As REED Types, Devin Haney's a Bigger Draw, if Only Slightly, Than Teofimo F'ing Lopez...
