No, ‘Mr. Takeover’ isn’t leaving Top Tank right away but the recent move has clearly brought some differences between him and the promotion.

Top Rank has lost the bid on a huge margin and couldn’t even stand opposite Matchroom’s bid for the fight. While they had put only $2.5 million at stake, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom put $3.5 million. However, Triller bagged the rights by bringing in the massive $6.2 million offer.

That said, Teofimo Lopez took to social media after the call, and teased his exit from Bob Arum’s promotion, the same hub that has sheltered him for all the years.

Being the new superstar of the sport, Lopez seems to have found his worth, and he doesn’t want to settle for anything less.

How can Teofimo Lopez increase his rate by staying under Top Rank?

If Top Rank fails to offer him the right price, purse bids can be armor for the unified lightweight champion. Akin to the recent situation, if a bidder brings in more numbers than Top Rank for Lopez, the 23-year-old champion can continue to relish with no promotional turmoils.
