Loma offers Walters 300k of his own money

[about.thousands]

Why do all loma fights have to have a "$$$ for the winner" such a dumb concept and makes things even shadier

Exactly! It's sad that Loma has to resort to this. It's not his job to offer Walters more money. It's the job of his promoter. I bet Bob won't give him a cut of the profits from the fight. People shouldn't encourage this. It's the fighters responsibility to fight and the promoters responsibility to promote.

Why is it that all these guys demand $1M to fight Lomachenko? First it was Rigo and now it's Walters. Walters is getting the highest pay day of his career at 435K. Rigo was offered 500K. I've never seen a fighter with a 5-1 record instill so much doubt in other fighters before.

Dont think thats true.

I agree but props to Loma for putting his money where his mouth is. Still Arum should be the one coming up with the money

Walters looking like a bitc* right now

Why? because Loma wrote something to him..TODAY.

Bob is worth $200 mil. Loma shouldn't have to offer anything. As a former union steward this type of ***** pisses me off. It's pitting fighter against fighter instead of the fighters banding together and getting what they both deserve. They're the ones getting punched in the face for a living. Promoters are always last in the ring, first to get paid.

ESPN said $1million would be triple his highest career payday.

So Al Haymon should be using his own money instead of Waddell and Reed's? It's business not a ****ing charity.

Could have swore he made 750K his last fight.

It's called business. The UFC uses investment money but I don't see people insinuating the Zuffa Bros doing anything illegal or taking handouts. It's called investing. It's done thousands a times a day on Wall St. Haymon is doing nothing different than other businessmen.

If Arum doesn't want to come out his pocket to get the fight made he needs to put it on the open market and have it bid on. Instead he's relying on the charity of HBO.

Look at all this worms coming out the wood work, giving Loma props for this tweet. When a certain other fighter said similar stuff to a certain other fighter...it didnt go down so well lol

In terms of Loma, I finally believe he wants a big fight. Good on him. Balls in Walters court.
