Teofimo Lopez posted on X today and asked his promoters at Top Rank what he “buy out” number is so he can get out of the rest of his contract.
Why this sudden burst of energy from Lopez asking his promoters for the buyout number? He could see free agent Devin Haney fight on BLK Prime on March 25 and probably make good money. Teo might want to act.
Teofimo’s top ranking?
As a free agent, Lopez may be snapped up by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom, or he may choose to follow Haney’s strategy to remain in that capacity.
WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo (21-1-1, 13 KOs) seems to believe he will get bigger fights once he leaves Top Rank, but it is doubtful that will happen. Teo’s loss to George Kambosos Jr. and controversial wins over Jamaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin showed he is a limited fighter.
How does Lopez not know his buyout number? His manager should be able to give him this information. Top Rank has done a man’s work with Teofimo throughout his career. It’s not their fault he’s looked so poor since his one big career win against Vasily Lomachenko in 2020.
Teofimo is currently expected to fight former IBF light welterweight champion Subriel Matias on March 15 in a non-PPV event on ESPN. There is a good chance Lopez could lose that fight as he has looked terrible against Jamaine, Sandor and Steve Claggett.
Shark, @trboks What is my buyout? Just a question 🧐 I would also respect if you answer here and not the other way around! Thank you & enjoy a blessed first Sunday ☀️ of the new year! #Box
