Comments Thread For: Arum: Team Rigondeaux Never Made Contact For Lomachenko

[Metho_4u]

When Loma was at 126 - Rigo: 118-124

When Loma moved to 130 - Rigo: 118-126

Have to love the anti-White, double-standard having internet nerds

I remember they used to get on GGG for 154-168...

Why get on GGG but not Rigo - what's the difference... oh, skin color - got it..

Because golovkin has yet to show REAL skill and has ONE B level Jacobs on his resume...thats his best name on there...people who understand this sport whether black or white will usually be honest...you are one of those who does NOT understand it, hence ALL of you're ****** posts.

Loma deserves his p4p status! Wen u hand 2 of the best in their prime highly regarded fighters in Russell and Walters their 1st losses - and in dominate fashion - wat more do u want in just 8 pro fights...

But did Rigondeaux's team ever officially contact Top Rank formally? BoxingScene.com got the answer from Lomachenko's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank.

"Of course not," said Arum, who was a bit amused by the whole thing.

"They know my number, call me up and say, 'Are you interested in the fight?' Yeah, we'd be interested in the fight, sure. But don't send out tweets and then call and say, 'Yeah, give us $5 million."

So did they call? First he says "Of course not," then he says "But don't send out tweets and than call and say, "Yeah, give us $5 million." My guess is they called and said "give us $5 million," and Arum refused, which makes his statement, "of course not," yet another lie by Bob Arum?

U can't recognize real skill and talent?? There is a reason why most experts and writers have GGG ranked in top 3 p4p - the talent and skills he displays in the ring.

Yeah, he just lied right there. So either they contacted you or they didn't. Or you're just pulling that 5 mil crap out of your behind. Why would Rigo be concerned with the money anyway, his promoter Roc Nation should be used to overpaying guys with not much of a fan base. They are the ones that have to worry about his purse

Wow some people are slow. They never called hes saying when you do call don't make a outrageous demand for money. Dont talk tough on Twitter then call and price yourself out, Rigo team hasn't touched the phone yet. Egis just said on his twitter they would fight him in December after this fight if his team just calls Arum lets see what Rigo says.

Read what he said again, it was in jest. He said yes call me, but don't go asking for 5 million when you do.

He basically said contact me if you are serious. No bullsh|t demands.

He's not talented enough to win a clear decision over a guy who's not even on the p4p list, never beaten a single p4p fighter in fact, or a future HOFer for that matter. I do not think golovkin is that talented, no.

[pedrito]

Haha Arum just contradicted himself in the same sentence.

Jacobs ko'd undefeated Quillen in 1....kinda hard for him to have defeated a p4p fighter wen there r none in the division other than GGG. Ur opinion of Ggg is definitely in the extremely small minority.
