The promoter of the Ukrainian boxer, Bob Arum, said that the choice of the opponent was due to money.
Vasiliy Lomachenko chose Gervonta Davis as his next opponent because he wants to make more money. Ukrainian promoter Bob Arum assures this.
According to him, the fight with another American, Shakur Stevenson, will bring the athlete less money.
“Shakur is accusing me of allegedly not wanting to fight Loma. He forgets that we all make profitable decisions on our own. Stevenson also said boxers are puppets in my hands. Can’t be forced of a promoter anyone to do something. Not so .
Lomachenko is independent, like Shakur. Davis is independent in making his decisions. Everything this guy says is just plain false, but you can’t imagine that in Shakur’s mind.
Davis’ fight was just more money. This is a bigger confrontation. Fighters are in this business to make money, and you can’t blame them for their choice,” Forbes quotes Arum as saying.
We remind you that Shakur Stevenson previously left Bob Arum and said who will be his next promoter.
