[richardt]

Dumba$$ Hatton was also a legend. Just admit that you are not that bright, obviously! You are just a race baiting trolling fool.

Walters was offered $500,000. Arum said the reason Loma was offered more money is because he's the best fighter in the world. For Walters the $500k would've been his best payday. Lomachenko's got paid $750k to fight on the Bradley-Rios undercard.

Arum probably demanded that Walters sign an extension for five more fights if he beat Lomachenko. One thing I am certain about is that Arum is not telling us everything.

So what exactly is the problem here? Loma got 750k last time while Walters' best purse is 500k.

Loma is moving up, has a belt and a better name. Walters is coming off a draw.

Why in the blue hell should the fighters get 50/50?

So why didn't they give Rigo more money when he was moving up? Lomachenko never has a problem with money because he's getting paid well. They don't want to pay his opponents well. He comes with these gimmicks like offering to fight Rigo for free or offering to wager his purse (which is against the rules). And you know that draw as BS. Another Arum trick to justify lowering Walters purse.

@vasyllomachenko I gave my country and people plenty of reasons to be proud. Now it's time 2provide 4my family. Who tweet this? CheapArum?

A kid you not, last night Lampley said, ''Lomachenko, to some, consider him to be the best in the world...''

1) What does this have to do with Walters and Loma? Are you gonna bring up Floyd next?

2) Rigo's responsible for the cluster that is his career. His former manager made it clear that he presented several multi-million dollar contracts to Rigo and he turned them down because he was getting bad advice from his 'friends'.

Hyde doesn’t spare the lash for the fighter, either. “Rigo has to take some of the blame for destroying his own career,” he said. “He has refused many multi-million dollar opportunities I offered to him over the last couple of years. He needs to get rid of these reptiles and get fighting again because not only will he lose his world titles outside of the ring he will also be forgotten.”

Because you think Loma moving up a weight class justify him being paid $300k more against Walters. Rigo was moving up one weight class and had a belt too but they weren't willing to give Rigo more money. Neither Walters or Loma are putting butts in the seat but Walters has headlined more fights and has the better resume. Look at it from Walters perspective. Loma is getting paid $750k to fight cans and $850k to fight me while they're only offering me $500k even though I'm the more established pro fighter. Arum is invested in Loma and Walters is co-promoted by Top Rank and that might be his last fight with Top Rank. That mysterious draw already hurt his pay. You don't leave TopRank without a L on your record.

Again, this has nothing to do with Rigo. Rigo screwed himself over. And btw, he has never moved up.

Walters is coming off a Draw against someone he was expected to dominate and his highest purse is 500k. Loma is heavily promoted due to his amateur accomplishments, has a great resume for 6 fights and has already made 750k. Why in the hell should Loma suddenly take LESS money for moving up against a dangerous opponent?

[deathofaclown]

He should fight Lee Selby. Selby wrecks Loma i think.

If Loma wants the fights made he has to take a pay cut. His high guarantee is keeping Top Rank from making the fights the fans want to see. Do I think Loma should take a cut? Hell NO! I think Bob needs to stop being cheap. The two big fights we wanted for Loma have been canceled because of money. And you keep bringing up amateur accomplishments which means absolutely nothing in professional boxing. Professional boxing is a business. You can have the greatest amateur career but if you can't put butts in the seats the promoters don't care. That's like saying Christian Laettner should've gotten drafted before Shaq and paid more than Shaq. Or Tim Tebow getting paid more than Andrew Luck.

Walters has the better resume and has headlined more cards. He's coming off a su****ious draw. If he's gonna fight a fighter Bob has a lot invested in he needs to be paid well. We see already how that su****ious draw cut into his future earning potential.
