What did Teofimo Lopez say about his recent FaceTime call with Floyd Mayweather?

Teofimo Lopez 0:00
I think if me and Ryan Garcia, we met we meet up, we match up, you know, you're gonna have to put me to sleep in order for me not to get back up. What about him makes you nervous? I would I was going to say the drugs that he gets popped with, but uh nah, I gotta go for Ryan Garcia. I think Ryan has the attributes to definitely defeat Carnaban. It's
Unknown 0:18
Tio Fima Lopez, the takeover and three division world champion, and you're watching double coverage. Let's go.
Mystic Zach 0:24
What's up guys, Mystic Zach here. Welcome back to season two of Double Coverage, presented by DraftKings. Today I'm joined by the super WBA welterweight champ, Mr. TFIM Lopez. How are you doing, sir? I'm doing great. I'm doing real great. Feeling like a champ, man. You're fresh off of Floyd Mayweather FaceTime. Tell me.
Teofimo Lopez 0:41
What was that about? Yeah, me and Florida, he had called me. I had pitched him an idea. I was like, hey, listen, man, I don't know what you're doing with Kamel Morton, your fighter, but I would love to sign him over to take over promotions. He said, What's your offer? I I put out a number out there and then we faced time and then we're talking right now in terms of just different things. Maybe co-promotion, maybe something in that terms. But it's great to just, you know, get myself around in my promotion hat. So to speak, and just, you know, try to get these young fighters into the into the mix now.
Mystic Zach 1:10
I love you and Floyd together because I feel like you two have a lot in common. Tell me about your relationship with him and how that started. You guys are both in Vegas right now and kind of how that goes.
Teofimo Lopez 1:19
Yeah, it was interesting. You know, he's FaceTiming me and his house. Um, you know, he looked like he just came out the gym again. It's crazy. Uh, but the guy's a machine and and knowing that the fact that we can do this, right? And how he's so um open about speaking to us in terms of how business may w operate and how it works, what he was doing in Atlanta and why he was there, and expressing to me details that he doesn't necessarily need to, but it that's the kind of person he is behind closed doors. And he said if you wanna find me, you just call me. That's kinda like what he's trying to resonate to that fighter of his, Carmel Morton, and the father, 'cause they're talking bad about him right now.
Teofimo Lopez 1:54
So I think Floyd is just pretty much saying, Hey, I'm here. I'm not into the internet.

How did Teofimo Lopez’s journey from the Olympic Trials lead to beating Vasiliy Lomachenko?

Teofimo Lopez 2:00
And talking back and forth there. If you have an issue, just call me and we'll resolve we'll we'll basically resolve it.
Mystic Zach 2:07
Yeah, Floyd probably the most misrepresented athlete I've seen in the media.
Teofimo Lopez 2:11
Oh
Mystic Zach 2:12
yeah. He couldn't be nicer when you really meet him and he couldn't work harder, but you couldn't hear worse things out of the media that come from people that don't know him and have never really
Teofimo Lopez 2:20
Spoken to him. You know, and he he expresses that from time to time. He expresses the fact that, you know, the father of Camaro Morton expressing those things. And, you know, he says, look, it's he doesn't even, he doesn't even, it doesn't hurt him. He says, bad publicity, you're still talking about me. Yeah. And it's like, man, you're the mental strength that this man has is just on another level. You know, but it's, I guess it's what what he's grown up into, right? Being the most hated. He did being the most uh flamboyant type of person, but that's his persona and it worked for so long to now, you know, and I think that uh he's in talks of possibly having a having a rematch with Manny Pacquiao. I mean, there's a lot of good things going for Floyd and you know, I think uh the world has yet to see what's next for him.
Mystic Zach 3:03
And he's still in the gym.
Teofimo Lopez 3:04
Still in the gym. He's still training. He's training sh with Shakur Stevenson.

What are Teofimo Lopez’s thoughts on a potential fight with Ryan Garcia?

Teofimo Lopez 3:07
Shakur hits him up and he's like, Hey, you want to come in? Come in. And they training together. He's getting ready for his next fight, which hasn't been announced yet. A lot of good things. I think Florida's all about trying to help and stay in that loop with us young fighters that are still in the game.
Mystic Zach 3:20
I haven't heard him say this, but he probably sees a bit of himself and you.
