Comments Thread For: Top Rank Exec: Salido Turned Down $720K for Lomachenko Rematch

[aboutfkntime]

Seems like he'd rather keep his fond memories of that victory over money. He's washed up now and knows he would lose so why should he give Lomo the satisfaction. Lomo should have fought him in an immediate rematch when he first loss. Please don't bring up the weight class. Lomo was a grown man, it is a 4 pound difference between the classes, and Lomo was a big 126 pounder rehydrating over 10 pounds after the weigh ins.

or..... does Lomachenko prefer money over avenging his loss ?

it was obvious that they were going to have to pay the man

[Dean_Razorback]

still no excuse to make that shitty fight vs marriaga. fuck you arum

Man what he did to Tim Bradley should of been CRIMINAL! Bradley just had the biggest win of his CAREER and Bob Arum was calling it an INJUSTICE! Saying it was the WORST DECISION in the HISTORY of Boxing... About his OWN fighter. And how he puts boxers on ice if they get on his bad side like Mikey and Walters, and Chavez???

Knowing all this.

And knowing 2 of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen got ****** rich after leaving him, while the big star THAT DID STAY continues to have rumored financial problems....

Knowing all this, how does the guy continue to sign fighters?

[aboutfkntime]

Why did he not offer 900k

when Ward REALLY wanted to fight Golovkin, he offered him 50/50

if Lomachenko allowed his Team to low-ball Salido, then it's on him

IDK??? Personally I would sign with ODH. Sure he's a cross dresser but he promoted the SHT out of the Canelo/Cotto fight when Jay-Z did jack sht but collect a paycheck.

Lemuix seems to be getting good $$$$ and Matty also. He's also has a small stable so he can put them on PPV.

Sht Luis Ortiz now can't even get guys to show up for purse bids...ODH stuck with him even after failing a drug test. Tried MULTIPLE times putting him on Canelo undercards. He probably thinks he's bigger so should be the star??? FKN Cubans are their OWN WORST enemy when it comes to business. Even Diego is getting treated right.

I would go with Al Haymon next but he has way too many boxers.

The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob."

He offered $300K to Walters out of his own check. Didn't hear the same thing with Salido???

Isn't 26 years old pretty much your "Prime'?? He lacked pro experience BUT he was in his prime. He trained hard and actually blamed himself for not listening to his corner better. Something Kovalov did also.

Prime comes with fights and experience as a pro too.

Thanks......

No problem.

The next time someone tells you Floyd ducked "Cheato, show them this.

And tell them the guy Floyd did fight (Baldomir, for one dollar more than 8M) had not lost in almost 8 years and was the lineal welterweight champion.

At the time(at least before Floyd totally boatraced him), some regarded him as highly or more highly than Antonio.

Some duck..

It's always about the money with Arum. Lomachenko vs Salido is still a risky fight with little reward. Lomachenko might win this one but Salido is capable of making it dirty and punishing. I know people like to use inexperience as a reason Lomachenko lost to Salido but it took him a long time to figure out an older fighter with lots of wear and tear. If Salido can repeat that performance along with the dirty fighting Lomachenko won't look so good. Let's just say he wont be practicing his matador skills against Salido.
