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

[M Bison]

That blows but its not a fight Lomachenko needs we knew he won the original fight he was quite clearly mugged off by the superior powers who were in control of this fight.

Salido did the following -
Didn't bother making weight
Constantly punched low

The fight was a broad daylight robbery.

Everybody complaining about the money HBO is offering. I wish HBO would either pay up or get out the game. This penny pinching is hurting the sport.

The problem is HBO are a business that will only sanction a certain amount of cash to fighters If HBO are gaining a profit from it and that's exactly how a successful business is ran.

I don't know how much Salido Vs. Lomachenko will make and I don't know the demands from both guys, neither are really that big of a draw.

I heard something interesting behind the scenes stories regarding that first fight.

What you mean? That's really interesting

They also waste their money on bad fights. A lot.

That's what I've been saying. While everybody makes excuses about their budget nobody talks about budget allocation. All businesses go thru budget cuts. That's when the CEO/CFO makes his bones. Nelson isn't cutting it. Allocating $3.2 mil for a Canelo fight in December?!?!?!? That's crazy!!! So instead we got Ward/Brand, Kovalev/Chilemba on a Monday night in Russia, Postol/Crawford on PPV and Ortiz/Thompson. I'm not a fan of the lower weights but that Gonzalez/Cuadras fight was great!! That was my personal fight of the year. Cuadras is the truth and won that fight. But thats another discussion for another day. But my point is there a plenty of other great fights to be made. With their exclusive contracts they're stopping other great fights being made but won't pay for the great fights to be made.

He only posts about Lomacheko or fighters on Lomachenko's radar. He's a Lomachenko fan, not a boxing fan.

You're talking about HBO big star names, its obvious they will get paid better because they bring more views in and PPV's successful ones especially with Canelo.
What does a Lomachenko Vs Salido fight generate revenue wise?

Salido doesn't want it, he knows the first fight was close, and he got hurt at the end...he'd have 12 long rds to try to fight dirty again, 20$ says lomachenko takes him out in 7 or less.

[ShoulderRoll]

Pay Salido what he is worth. He won't be lowballed like Nicholas Walters.

Yeah 550k and his highest payday back in MAY wasn't good enough, even with lomachenko offering him 300k more out of his own pocket...lomachenko b1tched walters and then he had nothing but excuses after he was scared of ending up like Martinez

Aww, you're still mad about that little argument we had about amateur boxing and the opportunities that European and Asian fighters have?
Poor guy.
