Lomanchenko was offered $850,000 for Walters fight

[Rip Chudd]

ya but rigondeaux is boring and cant draw flies to ****. Lomachenko is at least entertaining and can probably attract more fans

Loma isn't drawing anything either man. Nobody talks about him outside of these message boards

Original offer: They split 1 million. Loma gets 650K and Walters gets 350K.
So all that happened is that now both would make an extra 200K.

I'm getting tired of people saying that Walters would get screwed because of the draw he got in his last fight and Loma is a favorite. Loma is such a favorite that he didn't get a close decision against Salido, they preferred to give it to the dirty fighter. He's such a favorite that he almost got screwed against Russell. He dominates Russell much better than Walters did Sosa and Loma almost got a draw (one judge scored it a draw the other two had it 116-112).
Plus, Loma will beat Walters convincingly and won't need a "gift" decision and I'm down to bet.

I'll recommend this. If Walters wants more money then he should try to get a title. Loma fights Martinez for the WBO belt and of course he would have to fight Berchelt, so he won't get stripped. In the meantime Walters could fight any of the other champions then him and Loma could unify by the end of the year. Realistically it probably wouldn't happen until next year with the ways things are going.
So Loma fights Martinez in June and then depending on how fast or if he doesn't end up with an injury or cut against Martinez he could comeback late summer (August) or in September against Berchelt. In the meantime, Walters would search for a fight or two and hopefully a title shot, as I'm sure a unification would raise their paychecks.
They should try to get Walters on the June 11 card. Oh, maybe they should offer Berchelt a fight with Walters and the winner gets the winner of Martine-Loma. Problem solved. I doubt Berchelt would take it, but worth a try. It wouldn't be a unification, but it would still be a title fight and we would get it sooner if someone took Berchelt out.

I just want the fight. If Walters is unhappy right now then ok. I don't want him to keep Loma out of the ring. He's done that enough. I want Loma to keep moving with or without him.

That's not enough man. This fight warrants both to be paid 2 or 3 mil, I feel.

Neither one is drawing huge crowds. They're doing about the same. There is no reason Loma should be getting $300k more than Walters. Since Bob wants to use the skill level and Loma is moving up excuse then Rigo should've been getting more money than Loma. I don't see what's justifying Loma getting that much more than Walters. This is a 50/50 fight and they should get paid 50/50.

Lomachenko has a certain guarantee of money for signing with Top Rank. Top Rank is going to take care of him because he is signed with them for 5 years. That may be their longest contract right now. Did I agree with Loma signing with them for that long? No. But the deal is done now and I am hoping they take care of him, which I have my doubts on and that's why I didn't like when he signed that long contract. I think Loma will stay loyal to them and that's why I'm hoping they take care of him (and they should).
Nobody is saying Lomachenko is a draw, so I don't know what is exactly is the problem. Is it because he's making some good money? Well other fighters from the past and present, weren't/aren't draws either and they were/are making more than Loma, so I don't know what's the big problem now that Loma is making some good money for himself.
Does Walters deserve more than what he is getting? Maybe. Maybe he deserves around the same as Loma. If the fights ends up being a title fight or unification they will both earn more money. There are so many questions we still have and we still don't know the full details. Let's just hope the fight could get made. It's not going to happen in June, but it could still happen this year.

What did you think of my idea: "They should try to get Walters on the June 11 card. Oh, maybe they should offer Berchelt a fight with Walters and the winner gets the winner of Martine-Loma.

I think that would workout perfectly and both would probably make more money.

WTF?

Yeah might be time to let Todd Duboef take over no way Walters should settle for less based on what? Because he got ROBBED his last fight, that could be the reason why he was ROBBED to have an excuse to LOWBALL HIM!

Yeah I think it's in allot of contracts, fighters get a minimum if they continue to win but that goes away if they catch a L or a draw.

The future doesn't look that bright for Lomo at Top Rank. All of their big stars eventually leave for one reason or another.

As previously stated, neither are a huge draw in the US so I don't understand why Loma deserves much more that Walters.

I can totally understand why a person with the competitiveness of a professional fighter would have a problem with their opponent making a more money simply because the mutual promoter sees a larger up side in said opponent.

In this case, if possible, the money should be split 50/50 to put an end to the issue.

It's the "privilege" of winning 2 Olympic Gold medals, 2 World Amateur Championship Gold medals and 396 amateur fights. It's the same type of treatment guys like De La Hoya, Whitaker, Lewis, Joshua and other amateur stars receive and earned yet Lomachenko accomplished twice as much as all of them.

More importantly those purses would have flipped with Walters ending up with 800K if he beat Lomachenko but evidently he's one of those many black folks who don't want to earn a damn thing like those previous fighters mentioned did which warranted star treatment no matter their ethnic background.

Unfortunately for people like you there's no welfare in boxing now go back to tweeting out *** proclamations you weak mental cripple.

Well said.
