Nicholas Walters making over $600,000 for Lomachenko fight

[watchayouhead]

When a fighter signs a deal for a 600K purse, he is only going to get 300K tops.

People always forget that managers, trainers, sparring partners and the government like to be paid too.

[GMAN SUPREME]

Or, he could have ended getting blackballed by Arum, like Rigondeaux did after he exposed Arum's personal pet, Nonito Donaire.

you are a delusional fool.rigo blackballed himself by being a boring pile of steaming ****.arum gave rigo another chance to headline hbo against agbeko after fighting donaire and he was so boring people walked out in the middle of the fight.arum no longer has anything to do with rigo yet rigo is more irrelevant than he's ever been.

[buckfuddy]

Arum is responsible for many crap happened in boxing, but no way he should be blamed for Rigo's ability to stink a fight.

[Derranged]

Of course but I know what Lomachenko is about but Walters have my 100% support.

Yah breddah, yuh haftuh go fuh da rasta mon...

[OnePunch]

Never count other people's money....

if everyone followed that advice NSB would lose 95% of its posts....... lol

[bojangles1987]

Walters also needs the fight more than he did then.

[North Star]

Making about the same amount huh? He could have made that a year ago and had a couple more paydays this year. He went to the Winky Wright school of economics I guess.

[The Big Dunn]

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

"Ey mon, mi nah tink a dese tings in advonce.."

You get the sense that Arum did all this BS with the money to give Loma, the more marketable fighter with an HBO deal, the better chance to win by having Walters on the shelf for 11 months and not getting him another fight.

Walters may not be as marketable as Loma but he performed well on TV and has the best win out of both of them (over Donaire)..

Of course we will never know this for sure.

Predicting Loma, but, yeah, this is a can't miss for me. Walters almost missed it with his business decisions before, but it's here now. There aren't too many matches for Loma that would even be interesting, but this is one. Huge reach advantage for Walters.. Though i gotta go with the better pure boxer!

[brettWall]

Haymon is unintentionally employing the same tactic right now. But I don't think it will work because unlike Walters, these PBC fighters have made millions already and thus long layoffs won't affect them that much.
