Lom posted twit reply to Rigo. Case is that Rigo dodged figth with Loma somehow a year ago coz of different weight. Wonder what have changed now when Loma moved to 130. Seems Rigo is trying to promote him self.

Now you are a negotiator for HBO and Arum. Now you realize Loma is no Draw, but you have no problem with him making big $$$ to fight unknowns right?
Keep waiting for the Pac fight that would never happen.
Unknowns like Walters Probobly Vargas and Solido next year while Rigo fights superstars like Dickens and Amagasa
Donaire was a bigger draw than Loma, and, besides, there's literally no other fight that can give Rigo more than $500k right now. He turned down his biggest possible payday in favour of, what, Jazza Dickens and inactivity? He would've snapped at the chance if he thought he was likely to win

$750 to fight Donaire by the same Arum and HBO. Yes lowball sir

$500k is not a lowball. If Rigo really turned that down then he doesn't want the fight, he just wants to cash out

What I know is that in the first negotiation rigo wanted a catch weight at 124, but that was not accepted by Loma team, after second negotiation, they agree to a 126 fight but with a re-hydration clause, I think all term were agree but Arum as usual low ball Rigo. Negotiation stop until Arum offered real money.
Also team Rigo said the fight would not happen right away with Rigo being out of the ring for a year at that time, he needed a couple of fights (tune-ups) before. Then Loma moved up.
Now on the potential Pac fight. Will he move to 140 or is he going to make the older fighter down to a catch-weight. Same situation as Rigo. And there is no money on 130-135, no real names Arum can make a fight. Loma is not that popular and make a lot of money he will need another name to make it happen. I hope a Gamboa fight happen soon but I doubt it.

Fact one.
Offer was made by Lomas team and it was rejected coz of weight ( Loma was 126 and Rigo 122 ) also money which was line 800k vs 500k
Fact two
Now when Loma moved to 130 , Rigo offers catch weight(not sure what it will be)
It is either name dropping or Rigo is desperately searching a way to recover his career at least in the end.
Not sure if it is worh taking this figth for Loma since he will have no problem getting other 130-135 into the ring and potentially even Pac

It's funny how Golovkin gets ripped to shreds by the Ward situation but there's not a peep about what this little ***** did last year, or actually 8 month ago to be exact. He's changed his tune so many times regarding this fight.
He was offered the fight for $500K, declined it first because the money wasn't good. Then he said he was too small and that he's a 122 lb fighter. Then he said he wanted a 124 lb catchweight with a 10 lb rehydration clause. Then he said he'd only move up to 126 to fight LSC. Now we fastforward to the present and Rigondeaux is desperately looking for a handout. Once Lomachenko moved up to 130, Rigondeaux is asking again for a CW fight. If he wanted to fight Lomachenko and he was serious, then he should have accepted the offer the first time. Which is more than he's getting paid fighting nobodies like Jazza Dickens on boxnation.
Now one guy is on top, is a staple of HBO is a two division champ, the other can't get a fight or can't appear on a network. BTW if someone knows who he's fighting, please tell us. Actually don't because no one wants to watch anyway.
If I was Lomachenko, or advising Lomachenko, I offer him even less than I did last time and force his ass to move up to 130 or he'll never get the fight. Make him beg for forgiveness.
