Rigo might be pricing himself out again wants 50/50

Thats because the coincidence is Loma they might not want to risk it. Speaking of high profile if Bechelt vs Corrales happens in a unification i will be keeping a eye of this high profile purse they will make.

They might not make all that much. That doesn't mean that they should settle for less if they fight Loma. especially when there is more available.

You seem to be suggesting if there you get $100k to fight lets say Berchelt, then you should take $250k to fight Loma. If HBO pays a $250k site fee for Berchelt but a $1 mil or 1.5 mil fee for Loma, taking $250k is crazy.

As a fighter you have your team check on site fees, seat pricing, arena size etc. You want the purse to be a fair portion of the total amount of money the fight will generate.

HBO is done now no? Loma doesn't sell either the only reason he makes that much is because his team got him a great deal with top rank. Top Rank is backing Loma but that doesn't mean fighters will make the cash Loma will make. Talking about fair let them get a team that will do that for them. Dont see golden boy or Roc backing there fighters not Lomas problem. Just like Ward and Kov situation with the purses one team gave Ward crazy money even though he doesn't sell, but cant do that for Rigo.

Bull!!!! Rigo is jumping up two divisions to fight Loma and all of a sudden getting 50/50 is too much to ask? GTFOH you cowards! Always putting up roadblocks for your boys.

I just came from a thread full of fan made roadblocks for Charlo vs GGG fight and now I come here and I see more roadblocks being set up for Rigo.

You white boys a bunch of cowards. Isn't funny how all the black fighters are being accused of ducking yet whenever one of them tries to fight your hype job white boys, all of a sudden there are unneccessary roadblocks left right and centre.

The real cowards getting exposed. Your boy Kovalev already got exposed twice, now yawl running scared coz them yawl know them slick brothers gonna expose all yawl. I hate bringing race into shieet but it's becoming too obvious now. Yawl a bunch of bishes!

Shut up you biggot. My "boy" Kovalev? My favorite fighter is Crawford. I'm not a mentally challenged racist scumbag that roots for race and can only enjoy a certain skin tone and everything else is garbage and a "coward". Not sure why race has anything to do with it but then again look at this board. Nothing but racists.

Moving up to fight somebody does not = 50/50 split especially when you can't draw **** and are an undercard fighter who premium networks stay away from. It's like if Usyk moved up to fight Joshua he automatically deserves purse parity.

That's because Roc Nation were getting a split of the PPV. They won't be the lead promoter in this and it won't be PPV. Roc Nation won't be getting paid by the networks, Top Rank will.

I don't think Rigo actually meant that offer. I think that was just a 'counter' to the bull**** Klimas is saying. Because it seems like Klimas is saying Rigo only gets 500k IF he wins. So, what if he doesn't win? How much are we talking? Either way that's some bull**** type of offer. That's not how fighters purses work. Therefore Rigo replied with a bull**** offer as well.

What Klimas was saying is that Loma himself, promised Rigo an additional 500K out of his own purse, if Rigo can beat him

Decubas' footprints are all over Rigo's tweets.

Bob isn't spending big with fighters not signed to him especially Rigo. Dont know how much espn would even give. Look how long it took to even get Salido on board before he bailed because of the date.

Forget Rigo whats the excuse of other 130 champs not fighting Loma while getting paid less fighting others?

Here we go again...

Kovalev wanted 50/50 with Stevenson. Kovalev was undefeated and acknowledged Stevenson even when he had his belts.

I guess Russians are braver than Ukrainians

Lomachenko is of russian heritage, he speaks russian,not ukrainian,He's nationality is ukrainian but his origins come from russia
