Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'm Ready To Fight Guillermo Rigondeaux Next!

[Ajvar]

Rigondeaux is undefeated. Lomachenko isnt. Nuff said

I am undefeated too. So does that mean I am a favorite against Loma now?

If Arum is involved, I usually feel that it's his fault if a fight doesn't get made. Am I supposed to believe that his phone can only receive calls, but he can't dial out? "Nobody has contacted me with an offer". He would be the lead promoter. He makes the offers. He puts the fight together. Since when does the B-side offer a contract to the A-side? Total BS. Put together a reasonable offer.

Forget context. If he wants to fight him then fight. As good as Lomachenko is he should be willing to fight anyone, anytime. I don't expect to hear "business talk" when it's convenient because it doesn't take him that long to fight people that have no hope of beating him.

He is and has been willing to fight Rigo for some time, that is the point! They officially negotiated 2 years ago like I said, everything was out in the open, they had sectional agreements on weight, hydration, etc., and Rigo's team backed out and fast forward two years, and team Rigo as of this writing still has not contacted TR by phone which is the only way to get the fight done. TR doesnt negotiate over twitter, they have a listed phone number. Feel free to pass this on to team Rigo: (702) 732-2717. You're welcome. Next time I charge. PayPal or cash only. No personal checks.

That has no bearing on anything, casual newbie.

Rigo is the one doing twitter call outs. How would it look for Loma's team to start chasing after Rigo now? Rigo is 2 weight classes below him. Like Klimas said, if you want the fight now, you gotta come to us.

lol if this fight doesn't get made because of "you call me" "no, you call me" BS

Come on....Loma's team demanded that Rigo come to 130, and he agreed. This article is about Loma calling him out again. Loma should be talking to Arum. We all know Arum doesn't like Rigo, Likes to keep things "in house", Likes to let fights marinate....and is a noted liar. There seems to be a disconnect between what Loma's team wants and what Arum wants. Let's see who Loma ends up fighting next. My guess....it won't be Rigo or Mikey Garcia.

Rigondeux doesn't have to contact Arum. All he has to do is contact his promoter.
Then promoter to promoter start talking.
Don't know what's so complicated about that.

175 is OK lol

There's always one or two versions of why a fight fell through. The point now is Rigondeaux and Lomachenko are now going around in circles on making this fight happen. If Lomachenko's stance is we already negotiated before so it's on Rigondeaux to come to us, that is a bad way to conduct yourself if you're in the process of becoming a "great" fighter. We already saw this with Mayweather vs Pacquiao. It took us 2 years to get Golovkin vs Canelo. If Lomachenko wants to solidify himself as a P4P great he would jump at the opportunity to fight Rigondeaux, Garcia, Crawford, or even Pacquiao. Anyone of the them would help seal the deal.
