Nicholas Walters making over $600,000 for Lomachenko fight

[Inoue Body Shot]

"We tried before to make this fight but we didn't have enough funds to do the fight based on what Nicholas was asking for, and now we've increased what we originally offered and we can do the fight," Top Rank chairman Bob Arum told ESPN.com, adding that Walters would earn more than the $550,000 he turned down last time but that Lomachenko is not offering him a win bonus. "For me it's the best fight we could put on at this point with Lomachenko. He is in my mind the best fighter in the world. I enjoy watching him so much. I get such a kick out of him and all the things he can do in that ring. He's the best in the world, so the challenge is to get him the biggest possible test in every fight because that then corroborates my view of him.

Walters is still kind of dumb. Had he fought back then for 550k and he could have been fighting soon for whatever more.

I wonder how Walters feel about his promoter calling Loma, the guy he is fighting, better than him?

And now he's fighting after an 11 month lay off.

Indeed. Now he's making more but will be facing ringrust and the possibility of losing (cause of the ringrust and weight depending how much he has put on) and then what? Enjoy your 600k+ and say buh bye to your big paydays.
