Comments Thread For: Team Rigondeaux on Lomachenko: We're Calling Your 130 Bluff!

[darius45]

Anyone can tweet. Ask him if his team has contacted Loma's camp by phone.

Don't have a twitter account. Maybe someone here should pose that question to Rigo on twitter. I suspect actual negotiations aren't publicized until being close to finalized.

I'm just saying they should act quickly before Loma finds a dance partner in his scheduled August fight. Or the Cuban just naturally wants everything handed to him on a silver platter without working for it. Hope I'm wrong.

They both need to act quickly... If anything, it's Loma who needs to act quickly... He's the one scheduled to fight in August and he has no dance partner as of yet... AND he dared Rigo to come to 130 (I think he thought that would just kill the fight and he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore, but that backfired lol)

I hope all the calling out on twitter is just to hype the fight and they're in negotiations now... If a real deal doesn't materialize in a week, there's no way it's gonna happen... I still wonder who in the hell Loma is going to fight if not Rigo or Salido though, on such short notie.

That is not true. They didn't agree to the 10 lbs clause nor to the 122 lbs catch weight.

122 was not discussed as a catch weight because 122 is not a catch weight between the two fighters, it is a division. Epic fail. Rigo declined the fight. Live with it.

Best fight of the year! Make this fight NOW!

#WarRigo by TKO, 8 or 9th round!!

[aboutfkntime]

As OnePunch put it ... 2 mins to read Ward's "offer" - Forget about Canelo, move up to fight me next year at 168 ... and btw, I'm fighting at 175 now - and 32 mins laughing at it!

the 24 months that you, OnePunch, and Golovkin..... spent doing absolutely NOTHING..... was eclipsed by Ward in 36 minutes.....

..... 36 minutes, the time it took Team Bullshht to duck Andre Ward..... is coincidentally the exact amount of time it takes to hold a 12 round boxing match

#spooky

hey, you never explained to us how you could possibly support that gay 164lb catchweight demand..... after stating that Ward cannot make 168..... ?

..... did that slip your mind..... ?

so, Golovkin did not duck Ward by demanding 164.... and when Golovkin passed on Ward to fight Dominic House-Arrest Wade and Kell Businessman-doe Brook..... that was not a duck either..... right?

My bad, 124 was the catch weight...

Has team Rigo's promoter reached out to team Loma yet?

Has team lomachenko reached out to team Rigondeaux yet?

I already told you, there was no catchweight demand.

Wade was a mando ... and who was Ward fighting around the time GGG fought Kell Brook?

Here's a couple of clues .. he was over 40, dragged up from a lower division, and barely paid enough to cover his air fare back to Columbia.

“GGG is now clearly the ‘A’ side yet Ward still would want to dictate terms, which makes no sense,” Loeffler said to ESPN. “GGG would fight Ward on a 50-50 basis, the best 160-pounder versus the best 168-pounder [at] 164 [and] a 50-50 split on all proceeds. But it seems like Ward needs more tuneup fights.”


"We don't need Ward. Golovkin doesn't need Ward. Dawson needed Ward. The fact that he made Dawson come down to 168 kind of irks me. When [Golovkin's promoter] Tom [Loeffler] said 50-50, and me and Tom talked about it, he meant 50-50 all the way across. That was the reason why I said 50-50 and 50-50 means 164 - right in the middle. If they want the fight, come to what Golovkin is aking for," Sanchez told BoxingScene.com


I can't post links because of low post count, but these are quotes from boxing scene articles in regards to comments by GGG's camp.
