    Someone said Rigo only has two fights left with Top Rank if true Bob could be looking for a big payday from him before he leaves BUT it would ultimately be a very very foolish move. Even if Lomachenko beats Ramirez then a titlist throwing him in with Rigo for his 3rd pro fight is something else entirely. All the media attention gained in the first two fights could be lost immediately if a inexperienced Lomachenko loses to Rigo who could then go and sign with Golden Boy with the whole thing blowing up in Arums face.

      Didn't sound too definitive. Really just throwing names out there as options.

        ...not deserving of a Rigo fight... amatuers are not the pros.... he might be chinny.... boring amatuer style... doesn't merit vs a P4P great like Rigo.... needs to fight the best then we can talk... he is a communist.... doesn't speak fluent English.... his trunks are funny....
        ya but up until the donaire fight, rigo didnt prove crap. He didnt deserve a donaire shot, like you said amateurs arent pros

          if the matchmakers tell him Lomanchenko wins he makes the fight. If they tell him don't make it, they wont. Bob may be a lying, greedy, dirty, ****** piece of *****, but he is a GREAT businessman who listens to his matchmakers and makes the best fights for his biggest earners.

            Talk about pressure.....Lomachenko is gonna be under the most intense microscope ever on Saturday! As if fighting a final eliminater in your pro debut isn't a big enough ask!

            He is VERY impressive though, super quick and smart too. Im already intrigued by a Rigo fight now Bob has planted that seed! Looking forward to watching his career unfold, could be a rough ride with ambitious matching like this

              I'd love the fight personally. But until we see how Lomachenko looks in his first two fights its all speculation. Orlando Salido is no walkover.

                Assuming salido wins. He's better than Cruz IMO but its not a conspiracy theory to suggest he gets screwed out of a win.

                Salido is a Mexican, Cruz is a gay Puerto Rican. NYC/east coast is where Arum appears to be building Lomanchenko.

                Which fight do you think draws more and has the better atmosphere in the theatre at MSG in NYC?

                  Not sure if serious on the rest of that
                  I think he is being sarcastic, come to think I'm pretty sure

                    I know. They tried to screw Salido on the cards against Juanma twice. I expect Salido to do the same here and not let it get to that point. Cruz has been taken out before.
