The boxer insists that he earned more than $ 100 million, while he himself received income many times less
WBO and The Ring Light Middleweight World Champion Teofimo Lopez stated that he would only want to return to boxing if he received Contract with a large fee.
“I think the only way to get Theo back is with a nine-figure contract. Because I made over $100 million for ESPN. I’m still getting paid a million dollars to fight when all these other fighters haven’t done a quarter of what I’ve done and achieved in the sport, but they’re getting $8 million, $10 million, $12 million, $15 million.”
“So obviously I’m the black sheep of the industry and they really hurt me on that side. I really want to fix the sport in the boxing world and the corruption that is going on.”
Earlier, Lopez announced that he was ending his career as a boxer. The American believes that he deserves a bigger fee for his fights.
In the last fight, Lopez defeated Briton Josh Taylor. Following the results of 12 rounds, the judges unanimously awarded the victory to the American – 115:113, 115:113 117:111.
