Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Dares Rigondeaux To Do 'Winner Takes All' Bout

[Redd Foxx]

I think 500000 is reasonable, specially since he just made 120k,that's four times as much,Berchelt just fought Muira and got payed 280k and even he has a better resume then Rigo now

It might be, but when you have two guys negotiating the biggest fight of their careers, you can't just say "He only made this much before." That goes out the window, and that's why you see the subject of splits coming up in high profile fights.

I'd like to see Rigo cut through this cloud and state exactly what he think he's worth for this. It's clear that TR doesn't want to work a split, and they are the A-side in terms of resources, so if Rigo wants to keep talking to the public about this, he should tell us exactly what he's expecting. To me, his argument has the ring of truth but we're hitting a wall if he doesn't come out and state an amount (maybe he has, and someone can enlighten me).

Salido made 50k in his last fight. But he worth 750k though.

Rigo will be Lomachenko's biggest fight so far, his most credible opponent and is moving up 2 divisions. Rigo deserves as much as Salido. If they can pay Salido 750k they can Rigo too for a bigger fight.

He hasn't said anything about how much he wants, but if the previous negotiations in 2015 are anything to go by, then it will be in the range 1-1.5-2 million dollars, that's what he asked last time before he left the table, but for this fight he hasn't said anything i know off

Rigo gets dropped by cab drivers with a jab... get a clue... he never had a chance against Loma... Loma is on another level than he was when he fought Salido...

That would be like saying Floyd is the same guy who got a gift over Castillo and Pacquiao is the same guy who got KO'd by two bums..

Rigo and Loma are on the same level when it comes to ability. Both are tremendously talented, elite fighters, without any doubt among the best in the game, P4P.

But Loma is fighting 2 divisions higher, and Rigo is already a whole division above his ideal weight, so Loma would almost certainly beat him. And unfortunately, there isn't enough money in the lower divisions to properly compensate Rigo for giving away so much weight to a guy as good as Loma.

Rigo won't be credible because most will say after the fight he was too old and small, it's a dangerous fight for Lomachenko,there is not much too gain for him, only to lose, how much credit GGG and Canelo get for Khan and Brook??

He'll get more credit than he would from beating Salido. Nobodt is interested in a Salido fight. Make the fight the fans want to see. You're basically saying Rigo is too much risk for Lomachenko. I agree which is why we're seeing ****** offers, because they don't want the fight.

I'm not saying he's too much risk for lomachenko,i think he will drop & stop him, that being said, he won't receive much credit from fans after that. i don't think he will loose but from getting props for defeating rigondeaux point of view, there won't be much coming his way.I like this fight also better then a salido fight,i would have wanted to see this fight in 2015 when the weight was closer together now it's not as interesting for the reasons i stated above,'d rather see Lomachenko Mikey Garcia fight though, he will actually get the respect he deserves if he would win that

Stop trying to flip the script! We all know arum is ducking Rigo. & loma is no boss. Rigo. called their bluff so cut it out.

What do you mean I read that no actual offers or negotiations had been made with TR or Arum, after this fight if Rigo wants it it's there. If anything Arum would be stopping the fight.

[iniduoh]

Seems to me that Lomo is not sure of himself. It's comical to me how little tiny Rigo got these guys shook, as if he's the boogeyman.

This fight needs to happen now, rather than Later.

Rigo is already past his best, but if we can get this before he slips to far it will be amazing.
