Teofimo Lopez Blasts Todd Deboef, Threatens to Quit Top Rank

Top Rank Promotions might lose their star prodigy, Teofimo Lopez, as the unified lightweight champion has bagged a massive purse bid of $6.2 million from Triller for his upcoming fight against George Kambosos.

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.

Not only that, but he has also threatened to go to war against Top Rank, citing some scratch in the relationship between him and the promotions. He wrote, “Todd Duboef, you won’t have me back. Get ready because we going to war You pr***.”

Meanwhile, Boxing News 24 claims that Lopez and Top Rank’s ongoing contract with Lopez will expire after 3.5 years. So, there’s still a lot of time left, and Lopez may have to set foot in the ring for Top Rank multiple times. But there’s an escapee from the notion, too.

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.

He is already an A-lister with impeccable stardom throughout the globe. While Teofimo Lopez still has a long way to go, he seems to turn into even a bigger superstar in the coming days. Thus, he might be taking the right decisions at the right time.

Considering his record and achievements at such an early age, Lopez has a global fanbase. So, he seems to deserve all the attention and money he is receiving.

Do you think Teofimo Lopez and The Top Rank will separate their ways?
