Nicholas Walter finally speaks on Lomancheko fight

[Vasyl’s dad]

Walters would rather duck for $0, than take a great payday. Dude must have forgotten how poor the rest of the world is.

Loma was giving Walters the weight advantage. he should get more of the purse. He shouldn't be making all of the sacrifices. Walters needed to give in.

Rigo was giving Loma a weight advantage and they offered him less than Walters

[about.thousands]

nah. For one Showtime said that but never actually made an offer and they knew that TR needed that 6/11 date for the PR parade. Secondly now Loma can make history by winning his 2nd world title in the least amount of fights ever vs Rocky and Rocky sells more tickets in NY. It is a win win all the way around. Loma can fight Walters down the road and meanwhile Loma keeps building his name and he will deserve even a bigger split of the purse

He said Bob didn't want to move the date. Since he didn't want to move the date we didn't get the fight. Thats ******. That doesn't make any sense.

What's Walters next move? If Lomancheko beats Martinez he fights Miguel Berchet , then both team Loma & team Fortuna are cool with fighting each other so unification after that.

Walters not going to seat in bench for a year?

[glenn mcrory]

Ahh...
It's good to see so many people still can't get over the Salido-Lomachenko fight.

On topic, Walters is a duck and that's pretty much it.
This was obviously an attempted cash-out and instead of trying to prove them wrong, he ran, verifying that he thought the same would happen to him in the fight that Top Rank did.

Rigo is a ratings drag. I respect his ability and love to watch him but a lot of fans just don't dig his style.

Is Walters ever gonna fight again? Bob might give him the Mikey treatment if he doesn't take what he gives him.

of course it made sense. he has a whole promotion centered around the pr parade. if it wasnt just banter by espinoza they could have moved the provodnikov date especially since it wasn't set in stone yet

Rigo was giving Loma a weight advantage and they offered him less than Walters

and they offered loma less as well. the offer was 500k a piece for loma and rigo and a 500k bonus to the winner of the fight

No they didn't. Klimas even said the reason the fight didn't get made was because Rigo wanted more money. Give me a good reason why Loma should be making $850k while Walters and Rigo make $500k/$550k? None are big ticket sellers but Rigo and Walters have headlined more shows than Loma

of course it made sense. he has a whole promotion centered around the pr parade. if it wasnt just banter by espinoza they could have moved the provodnikov date especially since it wasn't set in stone yet

The Provo date and opponent was set in stone. It was part of Showtime's announing their spring/summer schedule. Why the hell would they move the Provo date when they already had an opponent and venue? Arum didn't have an opponent or venue and the fight wasn't scheduled. You not making any sense. So you'd rather see Loma-Martinez than Loma-Walters just because it's on PR day? That makes no sense. Why are you taking the side of promoters over fighters? You must be a wage slave who has never negotiated and worked on contract.
