Bob Arum is considering any options for minimizing the losses from the battle of Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs) and Teofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs) in the lightweight unification. And, perhaps, the American promoter will host a large group of fans in this fight.
There are and will be limitations associated with coronavirus, but they will certainly become less stringent over time. Based on this, the head of Top Rank is ready to organize such a meeting at the large stadium of the NFL team Las Vegas Raiders, which usually can accommodate from 65,000 to 70,000 fans. With appropriate measures, according to the promoter, a duel for four belts at 135 could be watched by about 10,000 spectators.
Tentatively, this battle could take place in September, so on June 15, on the first possible day, Lomachenko gets on a plane and flies to the United States.
“Since September, we want to have really big fights. We are talking with representatives of the Las Vegas Raiders Stadium on how to properly position the fans. We could accommodate about 10,000 of them,” Arum said.
