Comments Thread For: Nicholas Walters: Nothing To Gain in Beating Lomachenko!

[Chris Bauermeis]

Actually Loma asked arum for the fight. Loma makes decisions himself. Do u think his people wanted the Solido fight I doubt it.

Loma is too brave for his own good.

Arum will protect him from himself.

Calm your **** woman. Nobody is saying they don't fight for money. If you're a good enough fighter, the money comes. Name me one fighter who didn't get paid well enough.

I'm very Calm, but just simply pointing out that YES...Fighter Do Fight For The Money and RIGHTFULLY SO because this is how they make their living and feed and take care of their families.

I do think fans tend to get a bit Naive when it comes to match ups like this for example. How is wanting to fight the #1 guy in the Division over a lower rated guy in the Division somehow considered a "DUCK" or Walters having a "EGO", shouldn't everybody be gunning for the #1 guy in the Division?

Seriously, who gives a **** if this is how they make their living? They chose it. They know the risks involved. Watching Loma right now, it's clear why Walters doesn't want to fight him. He'd get beat plain and simple.

and Vasyl says after today he just wants to fight champions only, starting with Walters ))

Ducking Loma to fight Gonzales?? Doesn't sound like much of a duck to me considering Gonzales has earned the fight 10x's more than Loma has.

Maybe Walters should do what GGG has done and fight 25+ bums before you have the balls to fight anyone even decent...

Fighters only fight for the money...They don't give a crap if some random Taco Bell employee bum like "Sumthang" who probably goes into work with a name tag on likes them...It's a business and nothing more...

If I was a fighter I would fight the easiest fights for the most money possible and then retire and not give two ****s about the fans....

Mayweather has the most successful boxing model of all time...Who cares if the fans hate him...The fans are the ones who have to wake up at 6AM to slave away at a Job they desperately hate and lead a mediocre stressful life and then die a nobody...Mayweather is rich as hell and accumulating resources is the only thing that matters...Who cares about anything else..

I just checked the business section for information about tonight's fight. Couldn't find anything. I wonder why.

I think the Axe should get the big picture..... Fight Vasyl as soon as you can because Loma will be fighting only championship caliber professional fighters from here on out, the kid is only going to be that much more dangerous down the road. Fight him now while he's the most vulnerable. If you win then you can dictate terms for a potential rematch when Loma is at the hight of his skills. Take the lions share of the pur$e and at the venue that creates your greatest fan advantage.....

For Vasyl, I'd say "What's The Rush?" Walters isn't going anywhere. You've been given a advantage as gift to pull out of your back pocket when you need it! When the Axe does come calling it will be when he does need you, by his own words. You'll have leverage in negotiations. I would be opportunistic in picking opponents that can either teach you something about fighting a guy like Walters without the power or guys who have a title or big name for big cash. Ultimately, the Axe will come to you and if you play your hand correctly, you'll be ready and get a home crowd advantage as well.

However it plays out, great fight !!!

Good thing you're not a boxer.
