Next thing we'll hear is the Cuban who got 7 fans wants $1 mil.

That's what im taking about Rigo isn't scared of no one he schooled nonito when the Filipino flash was flattening guys left n right.

But watch team Loma run from it, those guys want no part of Rigo.

What benefits would Rigo have coming into the fight at 130? He probably weights 128 at the most when he's not fighting. If the fight is made should he come in around 126-128?

Arum: "HBO doesn't want to air Rigo."

Yet Kellerman and RJJ whom represent HBO frequently talk about Rigo..

Klimas: "I don't trust Roc Nation Sports even though I said 130..."

Loma: "...... first let me avenge my loss to Salido at 126!"

to be fair.....

Loma has proven that he will fight anyone

my issue is Klimas

but yea, good point

personally, Rigo cannot talk if they select Salido next..... that fight has been in the pipeline, and Salido has already agreed to terms..... and I can see why the Salido fight is more attractive to Team Loma

but they simply HAVE to take Rigo seriously now

[Adamjr91]

Yes, yes, yes. Make it happen.

Lomachenko already called the Cuban's bluff a year ago lad.
He priced himself out. Keep lying to yourselves.

[rrayvez]

Make it happen. It appears salido doesn't want the rematch with loma and santa cruz never wanted it with rigo. Let's go.

you can easily argue it's not fair on Rigo

that fight should have been made at 126, tops

you can also argue that the onus is not on Loma to hang around

I hate to see a fighter forced to campaign out of his natural division

but yea, love Rigo's mojo..... him and Loma are fearless

GREAT fight, don't care who wins

a lot of my favorite fighters seem to be matching up this year

[deanrw]

Only thing holding this fight back now is money. This is where HBO can make a last stand and shell out some cash. This is their chance.

Once again, from 2015 since some people here were not aware of the original negotiations:

Vasyl Lomachenko: Rigondeaux Does Not Want To Fight

By Gregroy Stangrit

27-year-old Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko, who holds the WBO world featherweight championship, says WBA/WBO junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba, 34-years-old, has refused to fight him.

The two Olympic champions have been trading messages on the social networks, calling each other out to fight.

Lomachenko says everything was agreed upon, including a rehydration clause on the morning of the fight and then Rigondeaux refused to face him.

"When we started talking to them about a fight in more detail, they put forward different conditions. They demanded the [financial] amount that was required, and we agree with them about it. They made a demand that on the morning of the fight, my weight does not exceed 62.5 kilograms [135-pounds give or take]. I agreed. But now they told us that they are not ready to stage this fight, now they do not want to fight," Lomachenko said.
