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

[robbyheartbaby]

The fact that this fight has been asked for by fans since 2015 & you believe they never reached out to BOB is hilarious... Just stop trying to defend him and loma... they don't want to fight.. so enjoy marriaga & then whoever else Bob finds or he can start building Loma vs Mikey after Broner beats him and he moves back down in weight

Damn, Loma vs Mikey would be awesome!

[Feint First]

Kim doing his best shill job for grandpa Bob as usual. So we're just supposed to take the word of convicted serial liar Arum as gospel since he didn't even bother to get Team Rigo's side of the story.

Another great example of boxing "journalism" at its finest by the Kimster

Cuz bob low balled him the first time (500k) then loma's camp says move up in weight so Rigo. excepts & they end up fighting a dude coming off a loss & moved up in weight. So why do you have an issue if he puts them on blast though social media? You would think fans want an insight of what's going on wouldn't you? Or are you going to make excuses for them? lol

This fight should get made ASAP cuz Rigo. is aging.....maybe that's what they want?

This has NOTHING to do with the fact that it is not Lom who needs to chase Rigo since Rigo was already offered the fight and team Rigo walked. And negotiating at this time around through Twitter is absolutely ******ed since negotiations are handled the traditional means, phone calls, meetings, contracts and always have been handled that way. And not a peep by Rigo's management either. Maybe you are under 20 and think everything is handled through Twitter. I have news for you, fights are not and it is absolutely lame to think a fighter putting someone on blast in Twitter is an effective way to negotiate with another side and Lom's manager shut that sht down fast.

Even people who don't like and/or dismiss Rigo have to admit that there is no reason to really believe anything that Arum says. Everybody has a phone these days. If Arum wanted to make the fight he could. Let's see how quick he is to make a Rigo fight or a Garcia fight. Neither of these fights would be 'In house". It's practically a pre-requisite to be signed to Arum to face an Arum fighter. I bet there are tons of excuses to keep these fights from being made.

I personally think Rigo's team are full of sh|t!. They blocked me on twitter today for asking them this simple question: "Has your team made any attempts to contact Top Rank to make the fight? Yes or No?"

I take their response to me as a question they did not want to answer LOL

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.

They were p4p fighters that Hopkins fought...AND he fought dlh at a catchweight....how is that comparable?

500k for a 118 pounder who cant sell out the first 3 rows of a school bus is NOT lowballing......

What the **** are you talking about? Rigo declined the fight before after previously agreeing with weight and financials, because in the end he wasn't okay with the weight (126). I shouldn't need to post the video evidence time and time again because anti-Loma fans are so prejudiced/biased and can't do proper research.


Rigo walked out on the fight at 126, I highly doubt he's sincere about fighting Loma at 130. He gets bodied.

[rickJen]

Rigondeux hasn't fought anyone meaningful for years now.
Yet he's not getting trashed like GGG does by the haters.
You know why? Exactly.

Hopkins stayed at MW for years...waiting for a big fight...and got it wen Trinidad moved up - like GGG - Canelo, who is a p4p fighter...see the comparison? Hagler-Hearns,Duran - ditto.

[j.razor]

lol- minority opinion! Ggg at or near top of most p4p list - recognition of skill and talent by boxing writers and experts....of which u and I r neither.

Minority? No, only lil g fans & the so called writers & experts that never fought a day in their lives something I've done. I'm speaking from experience & actually paying attention to the fights every min. of each round.
