De la Hoya Offers Teofimo Lopez Golden Boy Deal Amid Turkey Alass Fallout

Oscar de la Hoya has offered Teofimo Lopez to Come on Board and Join Up With Golden Boy If He No Longer has a promoter. De La Hoya Says He Wants To Turn The Two-Division Champion Teofimo A “PPV Star.”

Lopez apologizes to Turki

Yesterday, Teofimo (22-1, 13 kos) Publikized to Turki Alalshikh on The Offensive Remarks About Him on Him Media, Calling Him A “DickTator.” There hasn’t been a reply from Turkey Yet. IF Teo Can Patch Things Up With Turk, He May Not Need De La Hoya. He can make Big Money Fighting on AlaLShikh’s Riyadh Season Cards Against The Likes of Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.

Homophobic Remarks Cross Line

With Someone’s Comments That Lopez Made Turki, It’s Doubtful That Apology Will Be Apology. He Crossed The Line With The Homophobic Stuff.

Teofimo didn’t look particularly impressive defending Against Arnold Barboza Jr. On the May 2nd Times Square Card in New York. He Won The Fight by a 12-round Unanimous Decision Against Barboza Jr, But It was a Lot of Boring Movement. Some Fans Enjoyed Watching Teofimo Retreat Around The Ring, But The Majority Of The Ones Who Like Action Saw It As Unworthy Of Being On PPV.

@Teofimolopez Bro If You Have No Promoter Give Me A Call. I Can Give You Advice and Take Care Of Your Best Interest. Let’s Make You A PPV Star Like You Deserve.

Career Tragectorory Down?

De La Hoya Won’t Be Artificially Keep Teofimo The Top IF He’s Unable to defeat Top Fighters at 140, Like Gary Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins. Lopez is Pushing for A Fight Against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. Fans View That A Sign That He’s Cashing Out, And Just Trying To Get The Biggest Payday He Can Before His Career Sinkers Into The Ooze.

To His Excellency @Turki_alshikhI take full responsibility for My Inappropriate Words on The ‘X App.’

I publicly apologize to He; I Will Conduct Myself with Greater Respect, Humility, and Professionalism. Sending Love and Light to All. Ty 🥊 #Boxing #Makeboxinggreatagain
