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

[rickJen]

Well it's encouraging to see that Arum is at least potentially interested in the idea of a Loma/Rigo fight because in the past he has expressed strong opposition to it.

Don't know why they keep repeating this baseless nonsense.
Bobfather offered the fight to both in 2015.

Loma needs to take some responsibility himself and get on Arum to make this fight. Both fighters are obligated to reach out to one another.

But man, Rigo has not let up even a little bit on twitter. I wonder how long he'll keep the heat on Loma.

Obviously, Rigo wants a big payday for this fight. RIGO is the one taking a huge risk by going up in weight to fight the only other fighter currently in boxing as skilled as he is. So he should be compensated for that.

I don't know how the money situation works exactly... I suppose it's possible that both Roc Nation AND Top Rank could contribute to Rigo's purse? Maybe that's what Rigo's after?

Can you show a link where it says Arum was opposed to this fight?

No, you are right. I can't but he has been very critical of Rigondeaux can we at least agree on that point?

Arum hasn't exactly been jumping at the chance for Loma to fight Rigo either. It's always, "Rigo asks for too much money" (i.e. Rigo is not really serious and neither are we, so let it die).

So far, neither side has said how much money it would take to make the happen.

Rigo has begged for this fight on twitter and instagram as you said, for the second time now,and Loma and his team have informed Arum they want this fight in december and have informed Rigo to call Toprank or Bob arum so they can set up the fight,the demands of the purse he wants and all that,now it's up to Rigo to make the call if he really wants the fight and that work

[EL_GRINGO]

Can Klimas give him Bob's number over the phone or call Bob on 3-way? I want both sides to take steps to make this fight happen. I'm a fan, I'm not entertained by the blame game, I'm entertained by actual fights.

I'm pretty sure Rigo has bob's number since he used to fight for toprank or has someone of toprank's number or someone at roc nation will have that number,won't be hard too find

I'm sure that call has been made. The issue is most definitely money. And neither said seems willing to talk about actual figures.

What's happening now is just drumming about interest in the fight to potentially increase the size of the purses.

Whoa, he did not beat Jacobs....Lemieux, Murray & stevens are all wack!

most boxing writers, analysts, insiders thought GGG beat Jacobs...along with judges.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Dude, Hopkins moved up and beat Tarver, Cloud, Pascal (which should've been twice) had a very close fight with Calzaghe, beat Winky, undefeated Pavlik, and others...are you seriously comparing Hopkins to fuggin golovkin? Do you think golovkin would be able to move up and beat even Ward?

all I stated was that he stayed at MW until he got huge fights with Felix and Oscar coming up in weight! Am aware of wat he did after losing his Mw title to Taylor . Hagler did same thing ...waited for Hearns, Duran, and Leonard to come up to meet him in huge fights.
