Comments Thread For: Arum on Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux: That's a **** Fight!

[BOXING-SCRIBE]

A **** fight??Unc bobby has lost his ****..everyone would love to see this fight, it can easily be done at 126..unc bobby sees loma as his new cash cow so he is going to milk the utters off of him..**** fight my ass..everyone in this forum would pay to see that..i would pick rigo by razor thin decision just like Ward vs Kov..just two highly skilled boxers..it could go either way on any night..

Transparent cowardice. Just like all promoters though. Their only concern is preserving the cash cow and will belittle a dangerous opponent just to convince the gullible fans that it's not worth making the fight.

Arum wants the Salido rematch because at this point it's his new cash cow Vs. A (Walking dead) Walker. (Salido is what comes after "Shot")

Yes Lom and Rigo are great fighters and hardcore fans would love the fight but the reason the fight is not happening is simple. WHO would put up the money knowing that the networks have already said that they would not broadcast Rigo vs anyone? Rigo has had really bad luck that isn't fair to him and I don't find him boring at all. He is a purest and has really had only one fight that could be called boring against Agbeko but he has stopped 3 of his last 4 opponents which I think shows he is and can be exciting. But the fans will never get to see it because of a wrongful stigma on Rigo. But it is what it is. But Arum is still an a$$hole.

Does Loma have a special contract with HBO like Kovalev? I don't think HBO has ever explicitly said they are against putting on Loma either.

Loma would make Rigo fight. It would not be boring. Then again, I didn't think Rigo-Donaire was boring. Competition at the highest level is must see. Bad Arum, bad. Shame. Shame. Shame.

So, Lomachenko vs Walters was exciting?? Arum is full of shyt. He knows what Rigo would do to Loma: same thing he did to Donaire; he would simply destroy him and turn all this bullshyt hype into smoke. Bob is still mad at Rigo for ruining Donaire and causing him to lose the millions he had planned on making off the Donaire hype. Rigo would simply destroy Lomachenko, period.

You're not getting it. On paper, Lom vs Walters was looked at as an exciting fight, Lom vs Rigo is not, at least by the promoter and by the networks who don't want Rigo on which is unfair to Rigo. Arum cares about MONEY and because Lom stopped the guy who stopped Donaire, he would be confident of Lom winning against Rigo, especially since Rigo is not getting any younger. If Bob saw huge dollars in the matchup, he would make the fight ASAP. But no one would put up the money for the fight.

HBO is the network that said they will not have Rigo on their network after the Agbeko fight and we all know Arum cant get anything going with Showtime at this point so that leaves nothing.

What Network would buy it? Rigo blackballed himself from the networks. Nobody wants him. Arum tossed him away, Haymon rejected him, HBO does not want him.
