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

[skinnystev]

slezealido will do every thing humanly possible to avoid stepping in the ring a 2nd time with hi tech

They made a verbal offer to Gamboa

Salido is a warrior and should have some say if other fights are available to him, he has earned it the hard way.

Also he is not looking for a soft opponent, any of those fights would sure to create more fire works

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

What is a fighter who is 0-1-2 in his last 3 fights worth?

Should he be paid more than someone who was undefeated?

Salido is an exciting, all action warrior who has been in two straight Fights of the Year. Because of the large Mexican fan base he brings good tv ratings and can pack venues like the StubHub Center.

He brings a lot to the table and if Lomachenko's team won't pay him fairly then he can just go make money elsewhere.

A rematch with Vargas would sell out Stub Hub while Loma can go fight in a 2,000 seat venue again.

Arum is offering him more than De La Hoya is. Salido said himself that he needed more money to face Loma than he needed to face Vargas. What does that tell you?

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?

Where "revenge" is concerned, normal fight economics go out the window.

If Lomo wants to straighten that "L" that Salido gave him, then right or wrong he's gonna have to pay Salido's asking price. It has nothing to do with what Salido is "worth".......

Yea that's nice and all, but he doesn't have a victory in his last 3 fights, plus he has no belt. Sure he's exciting and an attraction but he's also been piling up the losses and draws.

Besides, he got less money against Vargas. He got paid $50K against Vargas. With some Mexican TV money, which I doubt would even surpass the amount Lomachenko was offering him.

My guess as to why he made this decision is because he thinks he can beat Vargas and then fight Lomachenko and demand even more money as the champ.

He realizes a Lomachenko rematch right away would be the end of his career and he wont get to 'double dip' if he were to lose.

[Derranged]

Well that sucks..

Salido wants to have his way with the finances since he won the first fight. There are other lucrative options there to be had for Salido in the mean time since he does have a very attractive style. Hopefully they can make the rematch eventually but you can't really lose however you match these guys up. This division is loaded!
