Is Nicholas Walters The Worst Negotiator Of All Time?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Earlier this year, when Arum tried to make Loma vs Walters, Walters rejected $550,000. To try to make the fight, Loma even offered him $300,000 from his own purse if Walters beat him, which could have lifted his payday up to $850,000.

Then this tidbit comes out today LOL

Purses for #LomachenkoWalters per Nevada commission: V-Lom $1 million, Walters $300,000. #boxing

He got put on the shelf when he rejected the first fight. He has no options. What else is he gonna do, sit around and not make any money for another year?

[Motorcity Cobra]

The only way we can truly judge this if we know that V Lom purse is the same. Could be a possibility both fighters purse got cut..

Otherwise yea he took a 250k L

Lomachenko's purse was $850K. He got a raise.

[PRchamp]

I think he got offered the $550k of the fight was at 126 where Walters was having trouble making weight. I don't trust Arum's contracts, Walters must sell his soul to get those extra $250k.

One thing is for sure. I don't want to hear Arum cry like a girl when another one of his cash cows loses to one of his own stable fighter. Remember how he crapped all over Rigondeaux's win over Donaire

The problem with this post is that you actually believe Arum when he says he offered Walters $550,000 and that Lomachenko actually offered to give Walters $300,000 if Walters won the fight.

Arum also claimed that he offered Miguel Cotto $13 million for a rematch with Pacquiao when the actual offer was $6.5 million (according to Cotto) -- the same amount he paid Cotto for the first Pacquaio fight. Arum also claimed that he was involved in a second negotiation for a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight and gave Mayweather a deadline for accepting the fight. Arum later revelaled that his idea of a negotiation consisted of one phone call to the president of HBO saying, "this is what we want".

If you believe anything Arum says, I have a bridge I want to sell you.

yes he did., !!!!!

Walters should be praised for willing to take a risk for short money. If he wins his stock and pay days will rise. Golovkin should take note.

This ****** is so obsessed with ggg that he brings him up for no fawking reason. Then instead of saying that about Jacobs he trashes ggg when Jacobs said no and it doesn't make financial sense. Fawk man get. A life bro!

Back on topic sucks he lost out on money

I disagree.comparing walters to rigo is laughable.walters is exciting he's a big puncher.arum rightfully crapped on rigo because he's insanely boring nobody can sell rigo to the public just look at him now that he's promoted by roc nation he's more irrelevant now than he's ever been.arum gave rigo his chance to shine and rigo **** the bed.

He must have one of the worst managers out there. That's just really bad.
