Definitely not a fan, but giving up money to get the fight done is bad ass. War Lopez!

Loma is going for the legacy. Rooting for him and picking him to win.

Its such a shame that for whatever reason, people like broner get paid more than people like loma. How are boxing fans not excited to see every fight of a once in a generation tallent, yet somehow get excited to watch a 10-20th best in there division at the time...
I get hyping a fight to a degree, but at some point, if you actualy like boxing you surely wanna watch for the boxing not just the theatrics.

If this is true, event biggest Lomachenko hater must respect him. Top fight. Can top rank secure big fight for Terrence Crawford too ?

It happens all the time! It’s part and parcel of the negotiation process.
Both sides of the negotiation table will have differing purse demands and the A-side will compromise, by gradually working towards finding middle-ground that is acceptable by all parties.
GBP & Canelo compromised to make the GGG fight.
GGG & K2 compromised to avoid the purse bid process in order to make the Daniel Jacobs bout.
I could probably cite more examples, but my point has already been made.

Top Rank can't secure a big fight for Terence Crawford, because of Bud's $3m purse per bout guarantee. His fights don't attract big viewing figures either, which means his opponents' often have to accept small paydays in order to make his events profitable (or at least break even).
Simply put, Crawford isn't willing to compromise... and if anyone accuses me of being a hater, then here's proof of Bud's mindset:
"Terence Crawford: They Have To Pay Me More To Fight Without Fans"
Terence Crawford understands that it might be necessary for his next fight to take place inside an almost empty venue.
If Crawford were to box without fans in attendance, however, he’d expect promoter Bob Arum to guarantee him more money. In addition to his purse, Crawford is paid a percentage of ticket sales, which wouldn’t exist if coronavirus concerns temporarily prevent fans from attending boxing matches once this pandemic comes to an end.
Crawford offered his thoughts on competing without fans as part of Chris Mannix’s most recent Sports Illustrated boxing podcast.
“Well, I haven’t heard of that yet,” Crawford said. “But at the same time, if it was to happen, then they have to pay me more. You know, they have to pay me more because fighters of my status and on my level, we get paid for the people that’s coming there as well. So, you know, if I can’t get paid off of people coming, then I’m gonna have to get paid up front.”
The 32-year-old Crawford would be willing to extend his time off between bouts if it meant allowing fans to attend the next card he headlines and paying the unbeaten WBO welterweight champion appropriately.
“You know, you’ve gotta pay me, you know, to go up there and do what I do because it ain’t free,” Crawford explained. “Just like people gotta pay, you know, to do anything else in the world. You know, you gotta pay us fighters because, you know, we’re taking a big risk and [a] health risk at the same time. You know, you can’t play boxing. You know, one false move and you can be six feet [deep].”
No matter how the COVID-19 crisis impacts economics in boxing, Crawford (36-0, 27 KOs) won’t accept less money than his contract guarantees for his next bout.
“Nah, I ain’t ready to do all that,” Crawford said. “I done took less money, you know, almost my whole career, you know, just because I knew where I was trying to go and what I was trying to accomplish. So, you know, we past that part [of my career].”

Your points are always randomly fluttering like a delicate butterfly. You, as usual, added nothing but a mound of words.
