Comments Thread For: Arum Sounds Off on Lomachenko-Rigondeaux Possibility!

[ShoulderRoll]

Rigondeuax is the one who has made ridiculous demands for this fight.

Catchweights, rehydration clauses and now an unattainable purse.

Yet you blame Bob Arum because of your petty allegiance to Mayweather/Haymon.

Rigo is small (they mentioned on the PPV telecast this past weekend that he is willing to go to 118 for Chocolatito) so wanting a reasonable weight and a rehydration clause are not out of line.

He did stink up the joint on Saturday though so he should come down on his purse demands. Arum won't risk one of his guys against him ever again unless the financials are very favorable towards him.

No fight , If Roc Nation is doing a pay per view with Cotto, Ward , and Rigo I don't see Arum, GBP, or Haymon guys on that pay per view..So let see who will HBO get

I can only imagine your reaction if GGG asked Ward for a rehydration clause

Golovkin walks into the ring at 170 or more probably. Why would he need to ask Ward for a rehydration clause?

I'm a big Roman fan so I wouldn't mind seeing that. But we don't know how effective he will be at 115 let alone 118. So it's hard to predict that just yet.

Dirk likes to play dumb and flip flop to get his point across

Props to you Sir.

Props for being a Lomachenko fan, but for knowing whats up.

Real fighters have real fans.

Love to see this fight, but best of luck to both guys with their respective careers should the fight not get made.

I just try to keep it real I'm gonno call out a fighter on their bs doesn't matter if I'm a fan of them or not

Or maybe he likes to point out your hypocrisy of accepting one thing for one fighter, and calling BS on it when another fighter does it.

[RaTaTa]

id not give a damn what Arum said, and had half the crowd and half the TV audience tune out of the fight before it even concluded. This is what enraged Arum! This is why Arum will refuse to work with him again.

.

Because Tapia got knocked the **** out in his hometown.

Do you not realize they're not even the same situations? Golovkin was ready to fly to England to fight froch and have it at 168, but only 164 for ward. the equivalent would be if Rigo was in talks to fight Walters at 126 but offered 124 to loma. Which never happened. So no it's not hypocritical. I wouldn't bash Golovkin for the cw if he wasn't begging to fight froch and jcc at 168
