Lomachenko is making more than Golovkin

Looking at the bids, it makes think gb had knowledge of what top rank was going to bid. That number just seems too arbitrary, but I'm most likely reading into it too much

Lomachenko... Man. What a fighter.


Dude is fearless. Any other 1-0 fighter would of otten KOd in the first round against Salido

Dudes are getting paid handsomely

Im rooting for Loma, showed heart and balls in the Salido fight. Russell jr is just another over hyped al haymon creation waiting to get exposed.

Lomachenko has 0 fans in the US and he is getting $600K in his 3rd pro fight coming off a loss. Boxing sucks.

Am I the only person who still thinks Lomo is the real deal, he just fought a veteran in Salido who came into the ring on fight night weighing the same as Pacquaio for a featherweight bout, he never went down, and had Salido hurt in the 12th round holding for dear life. If Salido makes weight, im not sure Lomo doesn't come out of that fight a Champion imo.

Top Rank WILL ALLOW lomo to fight Russel

[ИATAS]

"If the fight is held in the country of origin, residence or nationality of one of the contenders, the resident contestant shall receive 40 percent and his opponent shall receive 60 percent off the total purse offered."


Did not know that.

Wow, those bids were close.

Hopefully this ends up better than Vanes-Lara. the more I think about the fight stylistically, the more i think Loma could find a way. Russell is lighting quick with his hands, but the more i think back over the fights I've seen he doesn't have the best movement. He has to stop to throw in order words. I think Loma moves better and is going to be bigger as well. It's not as bad as I initially thought, my opinion has shifted a bit. At first I thought this was another mismatch for a 3 fight pro
