Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Manager Wants Selby, Not in The UK

Stop. Loma's team begged for Salido, they liked Loma's chances against a 12 time loser. What ever Loma got, he begged for it. Salido just spoiled the party.

That's a bunch of crap. A guy with 1 fight does not cherry pick a guy like Salido, who cares if he has losses, most of those are to top fighters and the rest were long ago. And Salido didn't spoil any party. He was practically a welterweight and threw tons of low blows and Loma, not Salida was the one who came on late and almost stopped Salido. Everyone saw that fight as a solid performance by a guy with 1 fight going against disadvantages.

Ha ha . Cherry picking . What about rigo at 126

Rigo declined 126. You've been out of circulation.

Ha ha . Cherry picking . What about rigo at 126 with a cut at 135 ? Hyde said yes . Or Walters at 126 or 127 , it is only one pound ?? Ha ha . Now , they are making Loma fight easy one .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

Why does Rigondeaux need a rehydration clause?

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what refuses to fight without weight clauses.

He's not cherry picking, its careful match making by TR. Obviously they thought someone with Loma's boxing skills would beat Salido's pressure. And the way they hyped Loma up (medals, 300+ amateur fights won, etc) he should have. Salido just deflated the hype balloon a little bit is all.

LMFAO I like Lomachenko but his manager is a ***ing idiot. WTF is up with all these DIVA Demands? I can understand guys who area Draw and they can help their Opponent make a Career High Purse like Mayweather and Cotto but guys who are not even a Draw yet in boxing are making all these Demands. They make their own fight look ****** and don't even know it.

I still don't get why they won't make the Walters fight and just put a strict stipulation on his weight. If he doesn't make weight then No Fight!

How the hell is wanting to fight on neutral grounds a "diva demand"?

WTF?

You are missing the point. Salido did not want the fight, he as much said so before the fight. He was ashamed of being the so called sacraficial lamb to Loma's deification. Loma and his team pushed for it and Salido let him have it. Welcome to the big time, losers cry cheat every week.

Not really referring to just this situation but Loma Manager even with the Walters situation and not willing to give a little to make the Rigondeaux fight. Funny how people don't see it for certain fighters but when others say they don't want to travel or reject catchweight somehow that gets turned into "DUCKING!"

Bottom Line is that Loma really is in no position to demand anything, at least not YET. A fight with Selby, yeah it actually would do better in the UK than it would in the US

Rigondeaux is the one making diva demands regarding the weight for the potential bout and Walters is the one who was unprofessional by coming in over weight.

Selby is NOT a big name anywhere in the UK by a long shot. You have been misinformed. He can't even sell tickets in Wales which is his home country.

I don't see how Lomachenko wanting to fight at the real weight limit and wanting to fight on neutral territory is being a diva.

Selby needs a homecoming defense. Then go for top names.
