Comments Thread For: Salido Leans Away From Lomachenko, Moves in New Direction

[Motorcity Cobra]

But what gives the right to Salido to be earning top dollar when HBO record viewing numbers aren't from him or Lomachenko?

I'd really like to know how much Salido is asking for.

He got offered less than what Martinez got to fight Lomachenko

@KnuckleheadSean @steveucnlive @danrafaelespn @latimespugmire @timmyvann Talking is cheap... Why dont you sign contract, Lomachenko is ready

LOL bum Martinez. I have to agree with the gibbon here. Being offered less money than Martinez is insulting when you are Salido.

Everyone saw Salido clearly beat 'bum Martinez' in the rematch and he's coming off a draw against Vargas in the Fight of the Year. He's hardly in a desperate situation.

I want to see Vargas-Salido II as soon as possible.

So... It seems like Lomachenko and his team are throwing Salido a bone, Salido has no world championship belt and his last three results are a loss and two draws I personally thought he deserved to lose against Vargas and win the second fight against Martinez

So I see Salido as 1-2 in his last three but regardless he's had THREE fxcking chances of winning a world title THREE!!!!!!
And he has not won it, so again...
I ask you, why should he get paid more than Martinez when he has flopped three times?

He really hasn't. You said so yourself. He clearly beat Martinez.

Ratings and ticket sales. Lomachenko doesn't sell tickets and gets low ratings. Salido sells tickets and gets better ratings. Vargas-Salido sold out stubhub and got better ratings than Lomachenko-Martinez and Lomachenko-Walters. Lomachenko just got paid a million dollars to fight in a 2,000 seat bar. Salido is selling out stubhub. Salido has a win over Lomachanko. This is the biggest fight for Lomachenko outside of the Pacquiao fight.

Hopefully we can finally hear an end to all this Salido v Loma 2 business. We can hopefully see Loma taking on way better fighters than Salido.

Not gonna talk about how Showtime dropped HBO's ratings by 19% for Loma vs Martinez? Or how Mexicans have the largest fanbase in the world? It's easy for even their past prime fighters to appear marketable. Loma's popularity is growing fast. He should focus on beating prime fighters that don't miss weight.

He already has

Pull the thread up about 1-2. The guy only posted"1-2" and I asked "what are you talking about? A 1-2 punch?" So I knew what he was talking about but his vague post threw me off. The post is right there, unedited.

Now to you. You're a Loma fan and part time Eastern Euro fan. You're posts prove it. You add nothing to discussion and lurk until you see something about Loma posted or something about Usyk or other Eastern Euro fighters. You aren't a fan of the sport. You're a fan of regions. I'm sure you can name some obscure Eastern Euro boxers I've never heard of. Nobody cares about amateur boxing but people who want to seem like more than casual fans, I call them boxing hipsters. There are plenty of amateur boxers who haven't did shit. Whatever happened to the guy who beat Floyd in the Olympics? Whatever happened to the guy that beat Roy Jones in the Olympics? Amateur boxers are no better than Tim Tebow and Christian Laettner. Great Amateur players but couldn't make it in the pros. Let me know when these great amateur fighters turn pro and start fighting grown men instead of beating up teens. They get so used to beating up teens they lose to journeymen like Salido. Mickey Garcia, Gamboa, Cruz, Marquez, Gonzalez, Abelya, Montez, Rodriguez, Guzman, and Cazarez leftovers

Wait, let me get this straight. Nobody cares about amateur boxing except people that want to seem more than casual fans? So, now you are basically implying that I'm a boxing hipster. But I thought I was only a Loma fan pretending to be a boxing fan? That's two opposite sides of the spectrum, my dude. How does that work?
Sure, I'll go with that, I'm a boxing hipster. I love watching amateur boxing and I love watching everything boxing. I watch boxing that most don't watch. Is there something wrong with that? Not bad for a guy "pretending" to be a boxing fan. Since you seem to care so much about me commenting only about certain fighters, then maybe I should start showing my "hipsterness" and hopefully my fellow hipsters join me. I know they are out there. You'll probably complain about that to though.
Moments ago I was only pretending to be a boxing fan according to you though. That's just way too funny to me.
By the way, it's pretty dumb to assume that NOBODY cares about amateur boxing. I know plenty of people that like amateur boxing.

I don't find the need to post about every single news that goes on. I don't log in everyday like you do. I will make comments when I feel like I need to.
Just because I don't post in every single thread and about every single topic makes me only a Loma fan NOT a boxing fan? Got it. That's hilarious.

Fun fact: Most of the top guys in boxing have come from great amateur backgrounds. Of course not everyone will make it in professional boxing. I'll tell you this though. The top guys 5-20 years from now will probably come from a great amateur background. Ask the boxing hipster a question if you want to know about any fighter. Maybe I'll be kind enough to school you about that fighter. Do you want to know about an amateur fighter that will probably be one of the future stars in boxing? And to show you that I'm not a fan of "regions," I would gladly inform you about a fighter that comes from wherever.
I'm very close to the scene that comes from Europe and Asia. I like to keep a close eye on that scene. Big deal.
Most of the top amateurs have success from early on, since they were teenagers, it's not like they randomly pick on teenagers.

That just shows your ignorance. Fighters from other regions/countries don't get the opportunities to go pro. That was the original argument we had months ago. You act like all of these guys have promoters lining up to sign them. "Boohoo why don't these guys go pro and stop picking on teenagers?" A lot of these fighters make more money from staying amateur than going pro that's why. If you win a Gold medal in certain countries you are set for life. Before you say BS like that maybe learn a thing or two.
Not everything works the way it does in America, my dude. Maybe these fighters should apologize, to you in specific, that they just don't have the resources to go pro like American fighters do.
I just find it funny that the argument was months ago and you decided to throw a comment at me in this thread.
I moved on afterwards. It was a disagreement and that's it for me. Disagreements happen everyday. You seemed to have taken personal. Don't say that you didn't or why else would you try to throw shade at me like that? I didn't even say anything to you in this thread and you just had to reply to another poster making a comment regarding me.

You seem obsessed with Loma. You are always bringing him up even when the thread is not about him. Always trying to dis him. Did he do something to you? Did he hurt you by his presence?
Maybe you're an undercover Loma fan?
