Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Russell: Golden Boy Wins The Purse Bid

[duwdu]

So if Mayweathee-Pacquiao would get agreed upon, it would go to purse bid? However, if TR wins... Floyd can't fight on SHO. What would happen then?

Appreciate the help bro.

The straight answer to this your scenario is that any promoter can chose not to participate in such a sanctioning body mandated bid process. This means the nonparticipating promoter is NOT making its fighter availabale for the fight. In that case, the sanctioning body's rule usually allows it to offer the bid slot to the promoter of the next fighter in line, according to its ranking. This way, the process is never stuck.

60-40 in favor of.... the two fight pro, lol

In the Lomachenko-Russell fight, Lomacheko gets 60% of the winning bid ($631,350) & Russell gets 40% ($420,900). #boxing

eventually something is going to be done about the corruption in boxing

I don't think HBO would pay $1 million for this fight. ShowTime got suckered.

Showtime has an unlimited budget according to what people are saying on here

[Shambrolic]

Showtime got suckered? It seems that HBO/Top Rank is looking weaker month by month. Their fights and cards just doesn't have any quality to them and Showtimes puts on more cards and boxing in general. They are showing their genius by building their fighters profiles with more publicity and everything. Who is honestly going to watch a top rank/HBO card when Showtime boxing is on? HBO is losing money and Top Rank looks weak every card and PPV.. They the only ones talking boycott the other side.

HBO didn't even put on that Burns-Crawford match. They sparsely put on fights now, it's obvious Showtime is making money and HBO is losing money. None of HBO fighters even come close to getting paid like GBP fighters.

Examples other than Floyd?

Mikey Garcia made 750k for a gimme defense..... next highest paid in that lower weight area is LSC 500k on PPV, Mares's biggest payday on regular show was 300k.

You really think spending a million bucks on this fight was a good idea?

NVM, anything anti HBO/TR is good

[Corelone]

Mr Russell will be fighting an amateur ,way too much speed for lomo ,if a slow Orlando can tag him ,what's he's going to do against someone with lighting speed. Again I say this kid will have less than ten fights before his career is over.

Salido would have beat this guy easy in his early days. Lomachenko chose Salido because he figured he was old and used up. Well, he got schooled by an old, used up journeyman, and now Lomachenko is going to outbox Gary Russell? Gary Russell must be connected to get this sweetheart of a deal. A real contender, like Fortuna or Bethelmy would eliminate both of these frauds.

[steven_z]

What about Lomachenko? He's fought literally two guys, one of whom was a journeyman who beat him decisively.

Lomachenko by UD or KO over Russell after losing to journeyman Salido? Lol lol lol

Funny. You're calling "journeyman" a 3 time world champion. Who barely made out of the 12th round, was 2 weight classes over his opponent and got away with 30% of power punches being low blows.
Lots of ring observers either had it a draw or Loma winning.
And that's you're calling "decisively beaten".

Who are you?

The other guy (who Lomachenko knocked out in 4) was Intercontinental WBO champion with 24-3 record, never stopped before.

Loma should KO or UD Russell, they're in different leagues.

[garfios]

lol at GBP beating TR by 2.5k. You're already bidding over a million dollars, you can't spare 2.5k to match GBP?

The bidding is in a closed envelop...
