According to the American, he has never earned more than a million in a single fight in his career, and regularly makes concessions
WBO world junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) admitted how much he earned for his fights in recent years – in particular, for the fight with the Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko.
“Will I make financial concessions to fight Gervonta Davis? Yes, I already did this in my last fights. I haven’t made more than a million dollars in any fight yet.”
“When I fought with Lomachenko during Covid, everyone said that he gave me 800 thousand dollars on top, but no, nothing like that. I came home with $460k after all expenses fighting the number one P2P after [Теренса] Crawford and Canelo [Альвареса]. Then, after the fight with Josh Taylor, I came home with about 700-800 thousand dollars.”
Let us remember that in October 2020, Lopez defeated Lomachenko in a fight for four lightweight championship belts, inflicting the second defeat on the Ukrainian in his career and becoming the absolute champion in his division.
Teofimo, in his last fight (on the night of June 30), successfully defended his title, defeating Canadian Steve Claggett by unanimous decision.
After this, Teofimo first challenged Isaac Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KOs), the WBA junior welterweight title holder, and then announced his intention to change divisions and fight the former undisputed champion in two weight categories, Terence Crawford.
