Loma offers Walters 300k of his own money

[HeroBando]

... or he'll point out that Lomachenko is merely offering a win bonus, that would amount to his purse (after grinding through as tough a camp as he's likely had for any fight) being about on par of what he got for his last HBO performance.

When has a win bonus ever been a thing in boxing? Rather than posturing on Twitter, why not put the actual money up; $150k to get Walters to the tale, with the other $150k on Loma's books (with a side deal worked out, where Loma pays Walters a "loss penalty" of 150k; structure it as akin to a 'drug test penalty')

Walters gets paid about what he got paid the last time he was on HBO ($650k), Loma gets the fight, and Walters can look towards some backside money if he wins.

making up numbers, as usual? Link?

Nicholas Walters allegedly made $750k to fight Miguel Marriaga, in the headline fight from the small room at MSG.

why would I make up a number for something this trivial?

Who is walters? never heard of him

Well asking for $1mil when HBO is offering $1 mil does sound pretty excessive. I don't mind that $300K. I think all fights should have that competent where there is some money in escrow for the winner.

100% agree. I think boxing would be more competitive if that was the case. So many low level guys aren't fighting for anything other than the money & offering them more money for winning is gonna be better for boxing then them just playing it safe so they can line up their next fight as soon as possible.

No link, figures. Instead this clown is in some other thread making up more numbers. I see now it's Canelo and his " 20m baseline". How do you feel about being a forum joke?

I like it. Now lets get this fight on!

Last I heard, $1 million is triple what Walters' highest career purse was. So the $435k-ish that was last offered to Walters is already about 25% more than his last payday. Add the Lomacheno bonus and it's more than double what he got last time.

According to Arum, HBO is willing to pay $1 million as a rights fee for the bout but Walters asked for that same figure for himself (which would be about three times his biggest payday).

Loma trying to make this fight happen for all of us fans. This is a fight that needs to happen in 2016. I wish boxing promoters would do this more often in contracts if the fighter loses he loses some of his purse.

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.

it is because these so great black fighters are scared sheet of Loma. this is another case of the "vastly superior "black fighters hiding from Russian fighters. this is why the white hating Floyd payweather and his father cant stop talking about GGG cause of the publicity GGG gets
