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

They even have nerves mentioning double standards.
The guy hasn't fought legit fights for years since Donaire and these idiots are not trashing him like they do GGG.
Tell me why Rigo is not with Haymon?
His contract will end this year. Do you think Haymon or Floyd would sign him?

This dude thinks loma has a superior resume to Rigo...lol...(don't kid yourself they even) He even has the nerve to avoid the double standards.

Why does it matter who he is signed to? And I wouldn't be surprised if they did sign him so what's your point?

Everything was agreed upon by Rigo, including the money! Read and weep:

Vasyl Lomachenko: Rigondeaux Does Not Want To Fight


By Gregroy Stangrit

August 30th, 2015.

27-year-old Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko, who holds the WBO world featherweight championship, says WBA/WBO junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba, 34-years-old, has refused to fight him.

Lomachenko says everything was agreed upon, including a rehydration clause on the morning of the fight and then Rigondeaux refused to face him.

"When we started talking to them about a fight in more detail, they put forward different conditions. They demanded the [financial] amount that was required, and we agreed with them about it. They made a demand that on the morning of the fight, my weight does not exceed 62.5 kilograms [135-pounds give or take]. I agreed. But now they tell us that they are not ready to stage this fight, now they do not want to fight," Lomachenko said.

We all know what happened & this little quote wont help you none, especially when loma is not the boss, boby is.....

My groupie... I hope that fights happen. I know ur an unrealistic groupie but they can't pay the guy more than hes worth cause a groupie on nsb think they should pay him what he wants.

For me, its the best fight that can be made.. dont get me wrong.

But I'm not an emotional groupie...

Your the one that sounds like a groupie....making excuses.

Bob is Lomas promoter and can pay him whatever the **** he wants, same as Roc is free to lose millions on Ward if they want to.

But dont get it twisted. Bob is NOT Rigo's promoter. He is under no obligation to pay Rigo what YOU think is fair. He doesnt owe Rigo squat.........

I bet a lot of people take advantage of your financial situation....no matter how you look at it there is a pie to split.

as a former boxer...find it hard to believe u actually think Jacobs did enough to take titles away.....I like Jacobs - but he should have been more aggressive instead of in the words of his trainer - trying to "finesse" his way to a points win. He said GGG power was not all that...he should have engaged more. He had swollen eyes after the fight...GGG didn't have a mark on him.

He did more than enough. Look at lil g's previous fights. He K.O.'s bums & picks on a welterweight then hits a wall in Jacobs....Why didn't lil g look so impressive? Oh, I think Jacobs had something to do with that. Its 2017 & the fake s**t is coming to an end.

[j.razor]

oh ok...that makes sense - and Jacobs has the most powerful advisor in boxing in Haymon. Nice conspiracy theory. Jacobs own fault for trying to "finesse" his way to a points win.

lil g got stuck in that fight. Yo know it. Its 2017, time to rid of the fake s**t.

Is that all you got for a weak a$$ rebuttal???? Lom doesnt have to be the boss to know what was negotiated because boxers are a part of the negotiations, DUH!!! Keep reaching and sinking! If ignorance is bliss, you are lost in the clouds. Rigo was offered the fight and turned it down. Live with it. And now Rigo gets off on a Twitter battle and gets shut down by Klimas and even Rigo's manager wont come to his defense! Get a clue if you have to beg, borrow, or steal one. Let us know when Rigo and his manager learn how to call the man who is responsible for making the fight. Hint, his last name doesnt end in "twitter".

SMH...And you really believe that? The only boss in this game is Floyd.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

I'm not ani-loma I think loma has all the advantages but bob is the reason behind this fight not happening & you forgot to mention that boby low-balled him to back out the fight. Then this time Rigo agrees to move up in weight they end up picking a dude that just moved up in weight & is coming off a loss but you defend that right? SMH

Arum didn't lowball. Rigo even agreed to the finances. He passed on the fight because of weight @ 126. He said it so himself. Weight was the issue.

And why do you believe Rigo is willing to fight at 130 when he wasn't even willing to fight Loma at 126 late 2015ish? That makes absolutely no sense, unless he is ready to cash out on one final fight for unrealistic demands of money he will never receive.

exactly. And no matter how bad you want the system to operate as some sort of fantasyland socialist utopia where a fighter's pay is tied to his skillset and not his economic drawing power, unfortunately we all live in the REAL world and not your dream sequence.......

and $10 bucks says you thought a 90-10 split for Canelo over GGG was fair because 97k doe!!!!
