Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'm Ready To Fight Rigondeaux at Any Time

[tiliheels]

Oh, I get it. So you need your fighter to have all the advantages. I guess when you d1ckride floyd for so many years, it becomes second nature.

floyd went up win weight to his last class at 36 correct?? so yes him and rigo compare due to age
he had the speed advantage going up on canelo..

rigo would be even or less going up to fight lomo and much smaller
i'd favor lomo bc the rap sheet tells you to and i dont think it is a fair fight for many reason
rigo's lay off, size as well...the say a great small fighter will lose to a great bigger fighter...
so lomo vs walters is better for me...lomo has faster hands and feet walters has more power with some skill

[tiliheels]

Walters has been above 140 in his last two fights. I think he was 145 for one of them (may be the Marriaga fight).

even is walters is 5lbs bigger than lomo that is fine for
2 reasons
the less obvious reason is that lomo is much faster so that gives walter only the power advantage...making it an even fight to me that i'd love to see
and 2ndly they are in the same weight class if walters makes 126 or lomo goes to 130

i'd favor lomo in the fight although i do think he ducked walters due to that BS belt excuse..he could have easy fougth walters wtihout a title but if walters did not make weight he could hav ebrough in a replacement..bc he didnt fight anyone important anyways...

actually it means that people don't tune in for his fights so he doesn't have much value. It is a business. That is why Rigo fights in Macau, Japan, Ireland and not on network tv. No one is interested and then he gets a shot on a canelo ppv and stinks up the joint. There is no guarantee he gets Quigg or Frampton either. They would likely vacate but we shall see.

rigo alone is not valued, but with a dance partner i think at that time nobody wanted to miss it..he was hated by some and loved by some as well..he was accomplished and ont he p4p list glued to some greats..and hbo could afford it bc they did so for ggg..they paid him 2 million to fight bums..
so if their budget is 2 million they could have easily gave rigo 1 million and his opponent 750k...pay the best ppl to get in the ring and they will and hardcore fans wont miss out on that

hbo just blacklisted him instead of promoting him and giving us the best fights..we got robbed fo greatness at 122

simply not true at all. ggg can fight bums and still draw well over 1 mil viewers while rigo has people walk out of his fights (vs agbeko) and have the co-feature have more people watching than his fight (tapia-kirkland). The only time he had over 1mil viewers was vs Nonito. And Nonito has gone over 1mil viewers several times and was the reason why. Look at his ratings vs Walters

DUDE MY POINT IS WE DONT WANT BUM FIGHTS! RIGO DONT WANT BUM FIGHTS! U SAY THAT HE WANTED ALL CHAMPS!
so u're reading it all wrong..basicaly replying and saying that you are happy that ggg can do well with bums....RIGO CANT I KNOW THAT I SAID THAT...BUT WITH THE RIGHT OPPONENT US HARDCORED DONT MISS...and agbeko is not tghe right opponent he was fearful...u think hbo wouldnt have loved to have that fight with the asian that was liked 6 foot? dont freaking kid yourself that was must watch...
rigo gave donaire his highest ratings, money, and audience...these are all facts..but u wanna see the brst vs the best...not hbo investing in a made up beast vs a terrible division..

[Motofan]

I love this so much. For years its been "Nobody anywhere near his division will challenge Riggod!!! GOAT!" and now that someone not only isn't afraid but WANTS him, people get defensive. Oh he's little, he's old. Pure comedy.

hbo invests in fighters who draw good ratings regardless of opponents. guys like canelo, kovalev, ggg, crawford, bradley, cotto, etc. They don't want to invest in guys who are dependent on the b side to sell and guys who's styles don't even bring top notch b sides to the table. besides nonito no one is lining up to fight rigo...ever...past or future

and guys like you are the reason they invest in mismatches...bc they know they can get away with it

my comment is simple as this..if htey would have invested in putting a 2 time gold medalist in big fights instead of having a budget of 2 million for ggg/monroe they would have a better overall boxing platform...ppl wont fight rigo bc no one will pay them...all hbo had to do was invest in a good fight pay a smaller guy 1 million and they would get the huge ratings just like they did with flash/rigo

no matter wat you say u are arguing for mismatches and u are dumb as hell as a boxing fan for doing that...
instead of building a guy as "no one will fight him" so we have to put on mismatches...u can build a guy as 2 time gold medalist only fightin the best and u pay his opponents well

talk w/e u want but hbo's budget for a mismatch was 2 million..hope you enjoyed that bc u have to pay for it

if they invested in Rigo it would have been mismatches too. Just like vs Agbeko with the same low ratings. I guess we cn just stick to PBC mismatches like Broner-Theophane and Gary Russell vs patrick Hyland for the time being.

hell at least i dont have to pay for pbc and they dont push and agenda down my throat the entire fight...and more than not they put on pretty good cards with prospects, champs, and contenders..

but you dont understand agbeko was meant to bring the war and rigo shy'd him a away...but i dont want to see rigo vs agbeko..i want to see them put up the money to put him in the biggest fights...they could have made him their next floyd like they are doing with crawford based ons kill alone..this is the era of skill and ppl know it..when u put skill in top fights real fans watch..hbo doesnt care about crowds they only care about their views..

truth is the banished a 2 time gold medalist who is a p4p star...idiotic...u dont see the nba telling tim duncan to get lost instead they put the spurs best games vs the best opponents..no matter how boring they are
