    Looks like arum is gonna force rigo to move up to to get paid just and to elevate Lomanchenko. Too bad for Rigo.

      Rigo easily wins.

      Lomachenko is boxing's next biggest hypejob.

        Arum is not very credible to me. Why would he risk VL who most people don't even know prematurely against a guy who has a public beef with him and is quite likely to fire him in 2014 for his chief rival?

        Unless VL gets half a dozen fights in him I simply don't see this proposed fight as plausible - who could VL even spar with let alone fight during a five fight novice period to properly prepare for GR?

Take it while you can because the fans will tire of inactivity and forget about you!!! Rigo has the talent to move up and down but his inactivity isn't helping his following!

          Rey, did you heard about weight divisions? Rigondeaux is been fighting for over 25 years and he is 32 now, he ain't growing no more he reach his weight limit, actually he could go down to 118, Rigondeaux-Lomachenko at 122 I'm going with my Gallo.

            Yeah but this is the same guy that told us he was going to make Juanma vs Gamboa for years and it never happened. I'll believe it when I see it.

              Bob knew Juanma would lose and juanma generated more dough, so you know why he did that.

              Lomanchenko has more marketability and profitability than Rigo so I expect this fight to be made, especially since Lomanghenko has the weight advantage.

                  WTF? Bob did not know Juanma would lose. What kind of logic is that? If he knew he would lose to Salido...why match them up?

                  He wanted to build up both names for a bigger fight. It blew up in his face.

                    Bob has 2 HOF matchmakers on his team. They knew Juanma's flaws.

                    Salido is mexican and has a base of support so juanma losing to him doesn't hurt TR finacially as much as a loss to Gamboa, a cuban with no discernable fanbase.

                    Notice which fighter is no longer at TR despite not losing?

                      Loma won Gold in every Competition Rigondeaux wasn't in! Same happens in the pro's unless he doesn't adjust well then nvm even that.
