if loma can make weight he should go back to 126 lbs for this fight. i'd favor him over rigo due to size, rigo looks very smallComment

Please, boxing needs this fight after the Kovalev-Ward ****ery. And Egis and Lomachenko and Bob Arum need to realize that stardom starts with the hardcores, who then tell the casuals who the best is, and if Lomachenko wants to prove his P4P greatness on paper to the hardcores, instead of just dominating the eye test and dominating A- guys like Walters and Russell (which is still amazing, and why he's already #1 P4P on most non-corrupt lists), then he needs to beat Rigo.
I agree Rigo needs to do what it takes to make this happen, not Loma. Loma has many options, Rigo doesn't. Loma struggled to make 126 when he was down there and has been better at 130. But Loma should also do what he can without draining himself to make it happen. If Loma can make 128 healthily, then they should be offering 128, not 130. But maybe he can't?
Either way, PLEASE MAKE THIS FIGHT FOR AUGUST! MUCH BETTER THAN THE SALIDO REMATCH, ALTHOUGH THAT ALSO NEEDS TO HAPPEN!Comment

At 126 Loma would still have a big size advantage. Notice how he doesn't say he can't move back down to 126. Asking Rigo to come all the way up to 130 is a way to avoid the fight.Comment

Loma's problem is that he thought he had Salido for his next fight, but Mayweather apparently offered Salido more money for a Davis fight. At this point, Loma doesn't have a lot of options. This is a fight that could be promoted and make some $. Personally, I think Arum doesn't want it, and never did want it. Rigo spoiled his cash cow years ago. He doesn't want it to happen again.Comment

So Klimas is a liar now too smh. Him and Lomachenko are in a video interview where they state the weight was agreed to during the first negotiations, as a matter of fact Lomachenko said everything was agreed to between the fighters, and then Klimas said that Arum only offered Rigs like 400 or 500K.Comment

Didn't Rigo say "anywhere, anytime"? Well if that's the case, move your ass up. I love the power move by Klimas. Besides, Lomachenko is the A-Side in the power position. Rigo is not.
The reality is that Rigo got away with playing bs games and now he's in desperation mode. Rigo was the one that turned down $500K saying it was too low, yet his fight purse for Flores was revealed to be $120K. When Lomachenko offered them a fight at 126, they tried to be cute and demanded a 124 CW. Now that Lomachenko has moved up, he's willing to fight at 126? What a joke.
So let's recap this: In the first negotiation, Rigo turned down $500K, he refused to fight at 126 and demanded a 124 CW. What's happened since then? Lomachenko's profile has raised dramatically and Rigo has been inactive. He's no longer in a position to make any kinds of demands and if he wants a big fight, he's the one that's going to have to sacrifice.Comment

As far as weight is concerned Rigo has always been fair.
When Loma was at 126, Rigo suggested a catchweight of 124, meaning that both fighters would give up 2lbs of weight, split evenly.
Even now Rigo's stance hasn't changed. At 126lbs, they both would be giving up 4lbs of weight. Rigo has even gone further and suggested a catchweight of 127 or 128lbs.
But you see the regular crowd piling up all sorts of excuses and roadblocks and then blaming it on the guy who is actually trying to get the fight done at a fair weight, and we all know what the real reason is for that.Comment

130 is 2 much for Ringo to move up, be logical just as if they want Lomo to move to 135 vs Mikey...Comment
